Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg

root tip of a plant spend a comparatively long time in the mitotic phase‚ whereas those cells comprising slow-growing tissues would spend most of their lives in interphase. Non-dividing cells remain in interphase and never enter the mitotic phase. (Lab Manual 64) Interphase is the synthesis of biological molecules including DNA and duplicated DNA with associated proteins. These comprise the chromatin that begin to condense toward the end of this phase‚ but are not yet visible. The nucleoplasm

precisely‚ the volumetric mass density‚ of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ. The unit of density is kg/m ². Here is the formulae of density: Density = Mass (kg) Volume (m ³) Hypothesis: According to PubChem from the internet‚ it states that the density of water is 999.97 kg/m³ . Variables: Manipulated Variable Method of controlling Volume of water The volume of the water is measured by dropping water into the cylinder. Random

Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is the complex process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to make carbohydrates by using light energy in green plants. The objective of this experiment is to measure the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: The petri dish that is exposed to the most light and with the NaHCO3 solution will have the best results and the petri dish that is kept in the dark will have the poorest results. Material and Methods: 1. Get 4 deep petri dishes and label them

This process takes place in chloroplasts‚ which is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and involves two interlinked reactions‚ which are light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. Throughout our lab experiment‚ we focused on the affect access of light has on carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide levels decrease as oxygen levels increase and glucose is produced when light dependent reactions occur. Light energy is absorbed by photo

two different ecosystems will be explored and the level of their biodiversity on certain area. Research question “To what extend is one ecosystem more diverse than other one?” Hypothesis If ecosystem has more number of species and organisms within those species‚ it will have higher biodiversity. Justification of hypothesis According to formula for Simpson`s diversity index‚ D = N (N-1) / Σ n (n-1)‚ where N is total number of organisms‚ while n is sum of individuals within a specie‚ we can see that
