Cell as an Osmotic System! The funnel described in the experiment (Fig. 1.2) may be compared roughly with the vacuolated plant cell. In such a cell, however, two layers—the cell wall and the layer of cytoplasm just within it—are placed between the cell sap and the environment. The cell wall is permeable to water and solutes, but the cytoplasmic lining [...]
The below mentioned article will highlight the experiments on imbibition and osmotic phenomena. A. Imbibition: I. Weigh out three lots of 10 or more seeds (maize, gram, etc.) and cover them with water and with 7'5% and 30% NaCl and also 5% sucrose solutions for 24-72 hours. Determine the percentage of imbibition of liquid by different seeds by weighing. II. [...]
The following article will guide you to determine the osmotic quantities of plant cells. The osmotic quantities are: (1) Osmotic Pressure (2) Suction Pressure (Diffusion Pressure Deficit, DPD) and (3) Turgour Pressure. Osmotic Pressure: The osmotic pressure of a solution can be determined directly by placing the solution in an osmotic chamber with a semipermeable membrane and immersing the chamber [...]
