Osmosis

The purpose of this lab is to assist you in learning about a type of diffusion that involves the movement of water. You will examine how changes in concentration between the inside and outside environments affect animal (red blood cell known as RBC), plant (elodea) and protist (paramecium) cells creating three different conditions.

You will go to the following website: http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/virtual_labs/LS03/LS03.html

You will follow the instructions and work through the simulation as instructed in the lab.

As you perform the simulation, you will record your results in the table below (in another color font). Be sure to consult your textbook, lecture notes, and even the internet for proper terminology of what you are observing (such as crenation, plasmolysis, hemolysis, cytolysis, etc.) You must use the proper terminology when describing the appearance of the cells.

Once you have completed the lab activity and the table, you will answer the remaining journal questions below. Please answer all questions in another color font.

Save your file as .doc or .docx and upload it into eCampus in the proper lab section for grading. Do NOT copy and paste it into the text box on eCampus.

 

 

 

 

Journal Questions:

1. Did water move into the cell our out of the cell while it was surrounded by a hypotonic solution?

 

 

1. In which direction did the water move through the cell membrane when the cell was surrounded by the hypertonic solution?

 

1. Compare and contrast what happens to an animal, a plant, and a protist cell in a hypotonic solution.

 

 

1. Compare and contrast what happens to an animal, a plant, and a protist cell in an isotonic solution.

 

 

1. Compare and contrast what happens to an animal, a plant, and a protist cell in a hypertonic solution.

 

 

1. Could Elodea or Paramecium from a freshwater lake be expected to survive if transplanted into the ocean? Explain why or why not.

 

 

1. If you were to grill a steak, would it be better to put salt on it before or after you cook it? Explain why in terms of osmosis.

 

 

1. Why does a salad become soggy and wilted when the dressing has been on it for a while? Explain why in terms of osmosis.

 

 

1. An effective way to kill weeds is to pour salt water on the ground around the plants. Explain why the weeds die, using the principles discovered in this virtual lab.
