Osmosis Flashcards
Reliable
Has it been repeated? (how repeatable the experiment is. How many times you can repeat the experiment and get the same results) Are the results similar?
Accurate
Is the equipment giving the true volume? (how close to the true value) e.g. Is the potato really 3.1g
Calculate % change in mass
final mass - initial mass / initial mass * 100
definition
The movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration a cross a partially permeable membrance.
How can we keep all the cells the same?
By making/ keeping them the same size and mass
How are we safe?
Careful when using a scapel because it is sharp.
No water near top pan balance (electricity)
Osmosis practical
introduce potatos with different mass in water with salt and see if the mass changes after time.
