A simple investigation into the changes in mass of plant tissue when placed in solutions of different osmotic concentration is described. It is suitable for pupils at early secondary or even late primary levels. The merits of the investigation include its low cost, the easily availability of the...
M. JOHN LEVER, in Biomaterials, Artificial Organs and Tissue Engineering, 2005 Osmosis Osmosis is simply the movement of a solvent down its own activity gradient. However, this motion can generate a pressure if the fluid is moving into an enclosed space and the osmotic pressure (Π) is given...
A semi-permeable membrane is a thin sheet of tissue or layer of cells acting as a wall that allows only some molecules to pass through. In plants, water enters the roots by osmosis. The plants have a higher concentration of solutes in their roots than in the soil. This causes water ...
Overview In this lab, you will be dealing with water potential and how it affects the movement of water within plants. You will measure transpiration under different conditions and study the organization of the plant stem and leaf by observing sections of tissue. Objectives The main objectives of...
It focused more into osmosis in plants cell‚ and how to indirectly measure osmolarity in potato tuber tissue. Osmosis is the diffusion specifically of water across a membrane. Diffusion occurs when certain substance‚ such as an ion‚ is more concentrated on one side of membrane. If the ...
If we zoom into the thyroid gland, we’ll find thousands offollicles, which are small hollow spheres whose walls are lined with follicular cells, and are separated by a small amount of connective tissue. Follicular cells convertthyroglobulin, a protein found in follicles, into two iodine-containi...
concentration to equalize the concentration of solute to both side of the membrane. . Water is sometimes called "the perfect solvent‚" and living tissue (for example‚ a human being’s cell walls) is the best example of a semipermeable membrane.Osmosisprocess as demonstrated below shows ...
activity 1, we hypothesize that the agar cubes with higher surface area-to-volume ratio have higher rate of diffusion. Reversely, the agar cubes with lower surface area-to-volume ratio have lower rate ofdiffusion. In the activity 2, we hypothesize the potato has higher osmosity rate than ...
Water-soluble argatroban for antithrombogenic surface coating of tissue-engineered cardiovascular tissues. Argatroban is a powerful synthetic anticoagulant, but due to its water-insoluble nature, it is unsuitable for use as a coating material to reduce the throm... Y Nakayama,S Yamaoka,M Yamanami,...
