Diffusion and Osmosis Through Dialysis tubing We did this experiment to test the diffusion of different substances through dialysis tubing. We used what we knew about diffusion to make predictions on what we thought the mass of the dialysis tubing to be after submerging them for 30 mins and we knew that diffuse occurs from highest concentration to lowest concentration. Since the dialysis tubings are filled with different substances than what they are being put into then they should all gain

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

Chapter 1 Exploring Life Lecture Outline Overview: Biology’s Most Exciting Era Biology is the scientific study of life. You are starting your study of biology during its most exciting era. The largest and best-equipped community of scientists in history is beginning to solve problems that once seemed unsolvable. Biology is an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. Biologists are moving closer to understanding: How a single cell develops into an adult animal or plant. How plants convert

influence the population of fruit flies? 2. Do fruit flies reproduce faster in cool or warm temperatures? ie. Is the reproduction rate of fruit flies faster in warm temperatures or cooler temperatures? Hypothesis: Using two separate 750g boxes of peaches‚ one box placed in a warm environment (in front of a window allowing direct sunlight onto the peaches)‚ while the other is placed in a cool environment (beneath the kitchen sink)‚ over a period of two weeks‚ fruit flies will tend to reproduce at

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster are an excellent specimen for research in genetics. Many reasons are that they have a rapid reproduction rate‚ easy to care compared other animals and less expensive. Researchers have determined the nucleotide sequence of nearly the entire 120 megabase euchromatic portion of the Drosophila genome (Cite). Drosophila has a simple genetic arrangement of only four chromosomes which contains three autosomes and one sex chromosome according to(--) and because of this

Lab 1 Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ and Water Potential of Glucose Problem: What effects will glucose have on diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and water potential? Background: All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. These include exchanging gases (usually CO2 and O2)‚ taking in water‚ minerals‚ and food‚ and eliminating wastes. These tasks ultimately occur at the cellular level‚ and require that molecules move through the membrane that surrounds the cell. There

Josh P. AP Biology 12-10-13 Lab Writeup The Effect of Transformation of pGLO in Bacteria Background/Objectives/Hypothesis: Genetic transformation is a process that primarily is inserting new DNA into an organism to change that organism’s trait. This process has many useful benefits when used correctly in different organisms. In this lab‚ bacteria was transformed by inserting DNA for Green Fluorescent Proteins. The DNA for these proteins were taken from bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea

Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly‚ about 3mm in length‚ and it is the insect that flies around spoiled fruit. A model organism has these traits: short life cycles and rapid development‚ small average size‚ big population‚ and fast reproduction (NCBI). Drosophila melanogaster meet all of the criteria for being a model organism. Also‚ fruit flies were used because they are very easy to handle and they require minimal resources to survive‚ as opposed to other organisms that might need more food
