Controlled Assessment: Osmosis of a Potato [pic] Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of substances through a partially/semi permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to balance of the concentration of the two sides. Biological membranes do allow water to pass through‚ but water will have no net movement unless osmosis takes place. Preliminary Method I have chosen to investigate the factor of the weight of potato strips after set amounts of time

The effect of salt concentration on grass growth Abstract Our aim was to test the effect of different salinities on the growth of plants which what we did was measured different amounts of salt dissolved into 2 litres of water‚ watered the plant once with the salt water then for 9 days with pure ware. I found with my investigation that the less the salt‚ the more the growth of the plant. My aim was achieved by measuring the 5 fastest geminating (out of 20) and to measure the differences in growth

EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE The aim of this experiment is to find the effect of varying the concentration of iodide ions on the rate of reaction between hydrogen peroxide and an acidified solution of potassium iodide: H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2I⁻ → 2H2O(l) + I2(aq) The course of this reaction can be followed by carrying it out in the presence of small quantities of starch and sodium thiosulfate solutions. As the iodine molecules are produced they immediately react with the thiosulfate

Research has determined that ageing is important to consider when looking at neurodegenerative diseases and there cause‚ such as Alzheimer’s disease. It is thought that neuronal loss is primarily involved in neurodegeneration when in fact it seems that synaptic strength‚ or plasticity‚ is more vulnerable to the process of ageing (1). Biochemical and structural alterations of the synapse such as changes in lipid composition in certain areas of the brain are also thought to be associated with this

in weight Using different sucrose concentrations Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to estimate Osmolality of plants cells i.e. Potato and celery by converting the observed change of weight in different sucrose concentrations. The hypothesis assumes that the solute concentration of the plant samples would be indirectly proportional to the weight; there would be decrease in weight as the concentration increases. The independent variable in this experiment would

Period 2. 03/05/17 Introduction: To have a successful germination‚ the plant seed needs a sufficient amount of water and oxygen present. Other conditions include room temperature‚ and the amount of light intake. Hydration of a seed‚ is an essential step for seed germination (Martínez-Andújar‚ 2014). Plants tend to germinate better in

in human history (USHMC 1). Auschwitz was miserable from start to finish. About 1.1 million prisoners were killed‚ only 90% were Jews (USHMC 2). This is what went on in Auschwitz from when the prisoners entered to when the prisoners left. Auschwitz Concentration Camp was opened in 1940 (ABEC 15). This camp was located in Poland (USHMC 26). As you entered this camp a sign that stated “Work Will Set You Free” was up to deceive the prisoners (ABEC 18). The prisoners thought if they worked‚ they

Biology is the study of life. Without biology‚ we would have no idea about an organism’s makeup‚ or the most basic unit of life‚ a cell. It plays a very important role in our lives. It teaches us how our body functions and how we can take care of it. You have a better overall view when you know all areas of academic study. Likewise‚ you get to know the scientific method. Biology influences me in many ways. Biology influences me by teaching me why to take care of the environment‚ why I am to take
