Biology 1 Packet II Lab Plasmolysis in Carrots
Copy this information on Pg. 17 in your Packet: Osmosis = Diffusion of water. Water moves from area of high to low Concentration! Plasmolysis = When cells lose water. Carrots = Cells make up living things. Carrots are a bunch of cells. Cells = Have a lot of water inside of them. Lose of water = Carrots will shrink and become firm Gain of water = Carrots will get bigger and soften
Freshwater puts cells in a Hyportonic Condition! Fresh Water = Higher Water Concentration Carrot = Lower Water Concentration
Saltwater puts cells in a Hypertonic Condition! Salt Water = Lower Water Concentration Carrot = Higher Water Concentration
