OBSERVING PLASMOLYSIS IN ONION CELLS (_ALLIUM CEPA_) I. INTRODUCTION Plasmolysis is the process in plant cells in which the cytoplasm is separated from the cell wall as a result of water loss through osmosis. Osmosis is a type of passive transport involving movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane. 1. RESEARCH QUESTION How does 15% NaCl solution affect the appearance of onion cells? 2. HYPOTHESIS If onion cells are submerged in solutions of NaCl of different concentrations

GE Chapter 1. Historical Background Historical Background to the Study of Climate Change In the 19th century‚ scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere caused a "greenhouse effect" which affected the planet’s temperature. These scientists were interested in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century‚ Svante Arrhenius calculated that the emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming

I. Company Background It took several months of experimentation‚ product sampling and planning before the first Zagu store was launched in April 0f 1999. Zagu was pioneered by a young enterprising lady with a degree in Food Science from University of British Columbia in Vancouver‚ Canada. To this date‚ Zagu has blended more than 40 million pearl shakes. This is a pretty good number for something that they just call a passing fad. Zagu has grown from a tiny kiosk to a current network of over

Compare the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which

DNA Isolation from Onion! Today‚ the students are going to isolate DNA from onions. You will need a blender or a food processor for this experiment. If you do not have one‚ check to see if your teacher does. If neither of you have one‚ then let me know ahead of time‚ and I can provide one from my home. You will also need to bring a knife and cutting board to cut the onions as well as a measuring cup. All other materials will be provided. The first part of the DNA experiment is to grind
