Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ Active Transport There are two ways in which substances can enter or leave a cell: 1) Passive a) Simple Diffusion b) Facilitated Diffusion c) Osmosis (water only) 2) Active a) Molecules b) Particles Diffusion Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms‚ ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. It continues until the concentration of substances is uniform throughout. Some major examples of diffusion

Lesson 1 The goal of science is to provide explanations for events in the natural world and to understand patterns in nature to make useful predictions about natural events. Scientific methodology involves observing and asking questions‚ making inferences and forming hypotheses‚ conducting experiments‚ collecting and analyzing data‚ and drawing conclusions. Key Terms 1. Science- organized way of gathering and analyzing evidence about the natural world 2. Observation- the act of noticing and

are endocytosis‚ exocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. Passive transport does not require energy it is powered by the concentration gradient of the molecule. Examples of passive transport are diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ filtration‚ and osmosis. In our Osmosis Lab I used a Grade a large egg from the grocery store. Its circumference is 5 ½ inches it is smooth with no cracks. I carefully place the egg in a clear plastic cup and fill the cup with vinegar. I immediately notice bubbles covering the egg

Unit 1 Lesson 1 Key Question Biology SBI4U-C ILC 1) Mg2+ Has 10 electrons. 2) Carbon -14 would not be effective at dating bones that are millions of years old. Carbon -14 is effective at dating to a maximum of 40 000 to 50 000 years old. The isotope decays over time and would not be present on bones that are millions of years old. 3) Hydrolysis - Water used to breakdown molecules. Hydro means water and lysis means to breakdown. An example of hydrolysis in action within our bodies is how our

of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though (Lab Manual 7e‚ 2010). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur

one person understood the exercise and communicated that understanding very well. Osmosis and Water Potential in Potato Tissue Melanie Shadish‚ Rob Harris‚ Patricia Tellekamp Water appears to cross the differentially permeable membrane of potato cells by a process called osmosis. The measure of the energy involved in osmosis is called water potential. Since water must lose energy as it moves by osmosis‚ water must move from an area of greater potential to an area of less water potential

Sang Kim Enzyme Catalyst Purpose/Problem: There are four parts to the Enzyme Catalyst lab - Activity A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. In activity A‚ the characteristics of enzyme actions will be observed. The main purposes are to determine the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ to study the characteristics of an enzyme mediated reaction‚ and to observe the effect of heat on enzyme activity. The purpose of activity B is to use the Titration Protocol to determine the initial amount of H 2O2 present
