Warm up How did we use indicators in the Diffusion Lab? Find your Diffusion Lab
Diffusion Through a Membrane DIN – Turn your lab over to the back. Write down a few sentences about what is happening in the video AND why it is happening. EGG VIDEO
Review of the Cell Membrane • The Cell Membrane is Semi-Permeable or Selectively Permeable • Small molecules (like glucose) are able to pass through the membrane while large molecules (like starch) cannot pass through
Diffusion Through A Membrane glucose molecule PART of a starch molecule
What we used for the lab • Dialysis Tubing – used to make a “cell” that will allow small particles to pass through and not large particles • Glucose Solution – a simple sugar made of one small molecule of sugar • Starch Solution – a complex carbohydrate made of hundreds of simple sugars bonded together
Indicators • Starch Indicator Solution – (Iodine), a really small molecule (It’s only 2 atoms big) • Glucose Indicator Solution – Benedict’s solution
Initial Cell “Cell” with glucose and starch Water and starch indicator solution
The Final Cell The water stayed amber The cell turned blue-black Water from outside the cell tested positive for glucose
Quick Video of Iodine (Starch Indicator Solution) diffusing INTO the Cell!
What Happened?? • Glucose was small enough to pass through the membrane so it ended up in the water outside the cell • Starch was too big to pass through the membrane so it didn’t get out of the cell • Iodine (starch indicator solution) was small enough to pass through the membrane so it ended up in the cell turning the cell blue-black
Red Onion in Fresh Water cytoplasm red onion cells in tap water cell membrane cell wall
Add Salt Water to Cells bathing the cells in NaCl = salt water, by “wicking” it through NaCl
Diffusion Through a Membrane cytoplasm red onion cells in salt water cell membrane cell wall
Diffusion Through A Membrane bathing the cells in distilled water, by “wicking” it through
Diffusion Through a Membrane cytoplasm red onion cells in distilled water – returned to normal cell membrane cell wall
Diffusion Through A Membrane Which cell is in distilled water and which is in salt water?
Diffusion Through A Membrane Applications – • salt on roads to melt snow • intravenous saline solutions • salty foods make you thirsty • salt on slugs to kill them • salty foods do not spoil as easily • gargling with salt water • digestion of starch to glucose

Activity – Analysis Questions • Your table will be assigned one question from the analysis section on pages 8 and 9 • Work on the question with your table for 5 minutes and put your answer on your easel. • Be ready to share and explain to your classmates ** If you finish early, check that ALL other sections of the lab are complete
REGENTS PRACTICE Reflection Answer on looseleaf and attach to lab • How did we observe diffusion and osmosis in this lab activity? Did this help with your understanding of these concepts? Explain. • Why was lab safety important during this activity? • What was your favorite part of this lab? What was most challenging?
Ticket out the Door Think of our experiment yesterday… • What molecule diffusedOUT of the “cell”? Why was it able to? • What molecule could NOTdiffuse out of the “cell”? Why not? • What molecule diffused INTO the cell? What did it react with in the cell? How could you tell it reacted?
