Experiment to Demonstrate Osmotic Pressure in Plant Tissues

Here is an experiment to demonstrate osmotic pressure in plant tissues. Theory: The phenomenon 'Osmosis' refers to the movement of water from a solution of higher water potential to one of lower water potential, across a differentially permeable membrane which separates the two solutions. The magnitude of osmotic forces in plant cells and tissues can be estimated in terms of [...]

Experiment on Protoplasm and Plasma Membrane | Botany

Here is an experiment to demonstrate the living nature of protoplasm and plasma membrane. All living organisms are composed of the essential living substance, 'Protoplasm', which is a jelly-like colloidal substance confined within small chambers called 'Cells'. The protoplasm undergoes a series of chemical changes that regulates the entire cellular activity. The major characteristic features of living system is expressed [...]
