How is osmosis different to diffusion?
Keywords:
  • Concentration: The amount of a substance in a given volume. (1)
  • Concentration Gradient: The difference between a high and low concentration. (1)
  • Partially-Permeable: A membrane that allows certain chemicals to pass through it but not others. (1)
  • Osmosis: The movement of water down its concentration across a partially permeable membrane. (1)

Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane. What is osmosis?

(WS) Recognise, draw and interpret diagrams that model osmosis. What are the important things to include in a diagram that shows osmosis?

A single layer of plant cells is placed on a microscope slide and either distilled water or 5% sodium chloride solution is added to the cells. Osmosis will occur resulting in either turgid cells or plasmolysed cells. http://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/practical-biology/observing-osmosis-plasmolysis-and-turgor-plant-cells

(MS) Students should be able to: ? use simple compound measures of rate of water uptake How do you calculate the rate of water uptake?

? use percentages How do you calculate a percentage?

? calculate percentage gain and loss of mass of plant tissue. How do you calculate the percentage gain and loss of mass of plant tissue?

(MS) Students should be able to plot, draw and interpret appropriate graphs. What marking points are important to consider when plotting, drawing and interpreting graphs?
