Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

The normal ph range for blood are between 7.35 and 7.45 2. Describe what happened to the pH and the carbon dioxide levels with hyperventilation. How well did the results compare with your prediction? The Ph increases and carbon dioxide decreases 3. Explainhowreturningtonormalbreathingafterhyperventilationdifferedfromhyperventilationwithoutreturningtonormal

This experiment aims to discover the effect of 6 different treatments on the permeability of the cell membrane. These will be distilled water‚ sucrose‚ sodium hydroxide‚ hydrochloric acid‚ ethanol and boiled water. The treatments include immersion in these solutions‚ and exposure to high temperature. The tissue used is from the taproot of a beetroot‚ and the effect on the membrane’s permeability assessed by the amount of pigment leakage that occurs. Hypothesis ==========

mix with fly ash can provide environmental and economical benefits. Fly Ash concrete enhances the workability‚ compressive strength‚ flexural strength and also increases its pumpability‚ durability and concrete finishing. It also reduces corrosion‚ alkali silica reaction‚ sulphate reaction shrinkage as it decreases its permeability and bleeding in concrete. Generally‚ concrete used in the field suffers from lack of durability and homogeneity. Since cement is the only binding material in concrete

Polonium has more isotopes than any other element‚ all of which are radioactive. Polonium dissolves readily in dilute acids‚ but is only slightly soluble in alkalis. Weight for weight it is about 2.5 x 1011 times as toxic as hydro cyanic acid (HCN). Polonium has been found in tobacco as a contaminant and in uranium ores. Polonium is radioactive and present only in extremely low abundances in the environment. It is quite metallic in nature despite its location beneath oxygen in the periodic table
