Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal
1. brownian movement (demo)
which picture is...???
1. elodea in distilled water ___
2. elodea in 1% saline ___
3. elodea in 20% saline ___
A
and on plant cells
todays' lab
tonicity effects on animals cells
2. simple diffusion (demo)
to calculate % weight change
1. subtract your end weight from your start weight
(start weight - end weight)
2. divide this difference by your start weight
3. multiply this quotient by 100%
group # "cell" solution environment (beaker) solution
1 25% sucrose distilled water
2 distilled water 25% sucrose
3 50% sucrose distilled water
4 distilled water 50% sucrose
5 25% sucrose 50% sucrose
6 50% sucrose 25% sucrose
7 (control) 25% sucrose 25% sucrose

Osmosis
is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane
5. the effects of osmosis exhibited by Elodea plant cells
simple diffusion is a form of passive transport.
4. diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane
Cell Membrane Function:
Diffusion and Osmosis
concentration gradient
effects of osmosis on cells: relative tonicity
3. diffusion of molecules across a semipermeable membrane
