Formulas of Surface area and Lateral surface area of Polyhedrons LSA or Lateral Surface Area refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure‚ excluding its bases. SA or Surface Area- refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure. It also referred to as the Total Surface Area (TSA). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Rectangular Prism LSA= P(h) *where P=perimeter of the base ; h= measurement of the height SA= 2B+ LSA *where

time‚ this movement results in a uniform distribution of the molecules throughout the system. This process is called diffusion (Everett and Everett‚ 2007). Diffusion occurs naturally‚ with the net movement of particles flowing from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Net diffusion can be restated as the movement of particles along the concentration gradient. 3 According to Meyertholen (2007)‚ there

Cell Membrane Structure Phospholipids are arranged in to layers‚ called the bilayer. They only have 2 fatty acids‚ this is because the third fatty acid is replaced by a negatively charged phosphate group. The phosphate heads are polar‚ in other words attracted to water‚ therefore they are hydrophilic. The lipid tails are non-popular as they’re not attracted to water and therefore known as hydrophobic. When phospholipids are added to the water‚ they rearrange themselves so that the hydrophilic heads

2‚4‚7‚9 and 10. All of these solutions affected the beetroot‚ but the most acidic solutions were the ones that did the most damage to the membrane. This is because the ph affects the proteins within the phospho lipid bi-layer. The acidic ph breaks the hydrogen bonds therefore denaturing the proteins and allowing beetroot pigment to secrete form the cell. 7. The ethanol solutions that were used were 11%‚ 25% and 50% ethanol. The beetroot cell was almost immediately affected by the 50% alcohol but

Beetroot cells contain pigments called betalains that give the tissue its dark purple-red colour. The pigment is contained in the cell vacuole. Investigation a. Collect 3 or 4 beetroot cores from

Cell Membrane The Cell Membrane- The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell; the cell membrane is made up of phospholipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates. Its function is to protect the integrity of the interior of the cell allowing certain substances into the cell‚ while keeping other substances out. The phospholipids form a thin‚ flexible sheet while the proteins float in the phospholipid sheet like an ice berg‚ and the carbohydrates extend out from the

century‚ little was known about cell membranes. Until the early 1950s‚ the biological cell membrane was rarely mentioned in scientific literature. It was recognised that something was probably there‚ but hardly anything about it was known. Considering the lack of technical equipment available a century ago‚ scientists such as Charles Overton and Edwin Gorter were not only exploring new territory in looking at the properties of cell membranes‚ but laying the way for future cell biologists. Scientists had

Experiment 2 The Cell Membrane Abstract The boundary between any cell and its environment is the plasma membrane‚ composed of a matrix of phospholipid molecules along with a number of different kinds of proteins. Membranes have different properties and a variety of functions‚ in large part determined by the specific proteins within the membrane. This experiment is designed to determine the stress that various factors‚ such as osmotic balance‚ detergents and pH‚ have on biological membranes. There are
