Product Details

Students explore the processes of diffusion and osmosis using a selectively permeable membrane and investigate the relationship between solute size, solute concentration and the passage of water through the membrane. The water potential of potatoes is determined and plasmolysis is studied as well. Compound microscopes, 0.01-g precision balance, Elodea, potatoes and a red onion are required and available separately.

Materials: Clear plastic cups, 9-oz. Iodine solution* Cover slips, Graduated pipets, Dextrose (glucose)*, Potato slicer, Dialysis tubing clamps, Scalpels, Dialysis tubing, Sodium chloride solution, Weighing dishes, Starch, Glass slides, Sucrose, Glucose test strips

Performance Expectations

HS-LS1-1. Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the structure of DNA determines the structure of proteins, which carry out the essential functions of life through systems of specialized cells.
HS-LS1-2. Develop and use a model to illustrate the hierarchical organization of interacting systems that provide specific functions within multicellular organisms.
HS-LS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that feedback mechanisms maintain homeostasis.
