    The document summarizes a biology lab experiment on osmosis. The purpose was to study how water moves across a semi-permeable membrane to equalize concentrations. Jelly and potato samples were soaked in distilled water and salt water. Results showed the jelly and potato increased in mass and volume in distilled water due to osmosis, but decreased in salt water as water moved out of the samples. The conclusion is that osmosis allows for the transport of water across membranes from areas of higher water concentration to lower concentration.

    Purpose

    In this lab, we have the purpose to study the transport of water to solute concentration

    by the process called osmosis.

    Hypothesis

    If soaking the jelly and potato in distilled water, then the size of them will expand.

    But if soaking the jelly and potato in salt water, then the size of them will shrink.

    Material List

    -6 Beakers

    -Electronic Balance

    -Distilled water

    -Concentrated slat water

    -2 Jellies

    -2 Potato pieces

    -Calculator

    -Knife

    -Weighing paper

    -Markers

    -Gloves

    -Lab coat

    -Googles

    Methods

    1. Use the knife to cut a popato into three equal pieces


    2. Put a piece of weighing paper on the electronic balance, press set to zero and put a jelly and

    potato on it
    3. Record the data
    4. Fill two beakers with distilled water and put the jelly into the first beaker and fill second

    beaker with potato then use the maker to label the beaker
    5. Fill two beakers with concentrated salt solution and put the jelly into the first beaker and fill

    second beaker with potato then use the maker to label the beaker
    6. Put potato and jelly into an empty beaker
    7. Wait for one hour then record the data from each beakers

    Analyzing results question


    1.What happened to the jellies after being soaked in distilled water and salt water for an
    hour? Why? The concentration of the distilled water volume and mass increased and became
    higher than the salt water that are in jelly, because the concentration in the distilled water is
    less that the salt water and the osmosis will happened when the high concentration to low
    centration. Besides, the mass and volume in the distilled water are increase, however, mass
    and volume in the salt water are decrease.

    2.What happened to the potato after being soaked in distilled water and salt water for an
    hour? It is almost similar to jelly that, the concentration of the distilled water volume and
    mass increased and became higher than the salt water that are in jelly, because the
    concentration in the distilled water is less that the salt water and the osmosis will happened
    when the high concentration to low centration. Besides, the mass and volume in the distilled
    water are increase, however, mass were increase but, the volume were decrease.

    Conclusion
    This experiment shows how osmosis works. Osmosis is an important process which
    occurs in cells. In an experiment, distilled water with higher concentration of water that objects in
    distilled water are getting bigger because the water molecules move from higher concentration to
    lower concentration passing through semipermeable membrane. Salt water combining between salt
    and water that make less concentration of water molecules. Water move from inside the object to
    outside solution.
