Describe Plant Wilting In Terms Of Turgor Pressure
Question: Are you actually observing molecular movement?
Answer: Technically, no, but they act as if they are molecules since they move randomly and bounce.
Question: How can the movement observed bring about diffusion?
Answer: The kinetic energy driving the movement will ultimately force the molecules from higher to lower concentration.
Question: What does the Benedict’s test for reducing sugar require after the reagent is added?
Answer: heat in boiling water bath
Question: What colors would you expect if the experiment started with glucose and I2KI inside the bag and starch in the beaker?
Answer: Beaker: purple/black
bag: yellow/amber
Question: What does the Benedict’s test look for?
Answer: reducing sugar
Question: What does the I2KI test for?
Answer: starch
Question: Know how to use vernier caliper
Answer: :(
Question: Describe plant wilting in terms of turgor pressure
Answer: Plants wilt due to a lack of turgor pressure. A surrounding hypotonic solution will result in turgor pressure, but a hypertonic solution will cause water to leave the cells, resulting in wilting.
Question: How does curing food help prevent spoilage?
Answer: By creating an external hypertonic solution, water will leave the food and organisms responsible for spoilage will not be able to survive
Question: What kind of osmotic solution would have resulted in a patient’s death?
Answer: Either hypertonic solution, which would have caused crenation, or hypotonic solution, which would have caused lysis.
