Imagine a busy factory making the latest must-have toy. Whether they make bicycles‚ cell phones‚ or hot air balloons‚ most factories are set up the same way. All factories have outside walls that protect and support them and inside walls that create different work areas. They usually have a production line where a product is put together and an executive department that decides what product is made. A finishing department processes and prepares the product for shipping‚ and a packaging department

Starch Permeable in Cells? Abstract This report presents the weights of 3 samples of water with various amounts of solute after the use of osmosis. Three different tests were performed‚ each with a beaker of water containing varying amounts of starch from 30% concentration (12.5 grams of water) to 15% concentration (9.5 grams of water)‚ and then 0% (10.5 grams of water). To start this experiment‚ we put water into a make-shift dialysis tube‚ a type of semi-permeable membrane tubing made from regenerated

ASSIGNMENT - Why is a cell microscopic? By Lachlan Bryant This research assignment will discuss why cells are usually microscopic in size‚ given that they need to be able to exchange material with their surrounding environment. The cell is highly organised with many functional units or organelles (Spurger).A membrane is a fluid mosaic which consists of proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates which seperates the cell from it’s surrounding environment or subdivides a cell into specialised regions or
