Practical 1- An experiment to observe the features of an Onion Cells Method: Gather all equipment that will be used for the experiment and check that they are clean and undamaged. Using forceps‚ peel the membrane from the underside of a small piece of onion. Place the membrane flat on a clean‚ glass slide and add one drop of iodine solution. Use a pin to carefully lower the cover slip over the slide‚ ensure there are no air bubbles before the use of the slide. Set the microscope to its lowest

Muscle Cell at rest: As the muscle cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV. The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine binds to a receptor on the muscle

Water has many unique properties that make life possible on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

“Scientists have recently proposed a reorganization of the phylogenetic system of classification to include the domain‚ a taxonomic category higher than the kingdom category.” A. The three-domain system allows for the conclusion that the previous five kingdoms were more connected than was believed. Out of the five previous kingdoms: Animalia‚ Plantae‚ Protista‚ Fungi‚ and Monera‚ four of the five kingdoms were placed in the same domain- Eukarya. The one remaining kingdom was separated into

FRQ #3 a.) The first property of water is its polarity. A water molecule is formed by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity of the oxygen atom creates an unequal sharing of electrons between the O and H atoms of the molecule. This also gives water the ability to form hydrogen bonds between the slightly negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive hydrogen atom. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this‚ water requires

Adriana Gutierrez AP Biology Lab 9 Analysis 1. For this experiment‚ what were the independent variable and the dependent variable? What were the constants? The independent variable of this experiment are the environmental factors that you are testing on the rate of transpiration‚ so our independent variables would be bright light‚ fan‚ dark‚ and misted. The dependent variable is the rate of transportation because this depends on whatever environmental factor the plant is placed. The constants

1. Define ecology. Identify the two features of organisms studied by ecologists. Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment‚ which in turn determine both the distribution of organisms and their abundance. Ecologists study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect phenomena such as the number of species living in a particular area‚ cycling of nutrients in a habitat‚ and the growth of populations. 2. Describe the relationship between

AP Bio p. 6 December 8‚ 2011 AP Biology Lab 5: Cellular Respiration Introduction/Lab Objective: In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature‚ and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical
