Aim: 1) To determine the effects of different salt concentration on the percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) The eyewash fountain is used to rinse chemical splashes off the eyes. They are used by rinsing the eyes 15 to 30 minutes with water. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Fire blankets are used to extinguish small fires. They are used by covering the small fires with the blankets until it extinguishes. c. Shower (2 points) Safety showers were made to eliminate any

Evolution Lab A. 1. a. The default value of 20 cm of rainfall is relatively low compared the range that the island may receive‚ which is anywhere between 0 cm to 100 cm. b. From an average of 20 cm of rainfall I would expect more hard seeds to be produced. 2. a. The beak size of 12 mm is relatively shallow compared to the available range from 10 mm to 30 mm. b. The shallow beak size of 12 mm is not suited for the hard seeds that are available because of the low rainfall of 20 cm.

Part I: Pre-Lab Diffusion/Osmosis Pre-Lab Introduction: Dialysis tubing allows molecules to diffuse through microscopic pores in the tubing. Molecules that are smaller than the pores can diffuse through the dialysis membrane along the concentration gradients. Molecules that are larger than the pore size are prevented from crossing the dialysis membrane. Answer questions in complete sentences. For problems‚ show equations and work with units and appropriate significant figures. Part IA: In the following

that live in the water‚ their oxygen has to be obtained from the water. The amount of oxygen that these organisms can take from the water is hugely dependent on the dissolved oxygen content in the water. The purpose of the two experiments done in this lab was to see the ideal condition to produce the most dissolved oxygen concentration. We approached the challenge of finding the ideal condition by testing two different variables in two different experiments. In the first experiment‚ we tested the different

Introduction: This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are

The hypothesis for this lab was that Core B will be the least flexible due to a loss in water. Unfortunately‚ my results led my hypothesis to be incorrect. The results that were received was that Core C was the most flexible‚ Core B was somewhat flexible‚ and Core A was not flexible and stiff. Core A was the most non-adjustable due to it being hypertonic which means that the total concentration of all the dissolved solute particles is greater than the other solution. Core B was isotonic meaning

The reactions and Results of Using Enzyme Turnip Root Peroxidase Lab results from: Andrew Compton‚ Mickey. Results published 9/29/2012. TA: In this series of laboratory experiments‚ my lab partner and I were to conduct an experiment about the oxidation rate of the enzyme peroxidase in the presence of its substrate guiacol. Also we used other substrates‚ such as hydroxylamine an enzyme inhibitor‚ to observe the weather the reaction rate was slowed down‚ sped up‚ or stopped reactions all together

This organism will display all of the main structures of the primary organs by labeling. Careful research will exhibit the concepts of natural selection and adaptation. Selected organism will address the proper concepts that apply. Three physiological adaptions

balloon Bar Graph: Discussion Questions: 9) My prediction had been that the test tube with 10% of sucrose inside of it would make the most amount of carbon dioxide. My hypothesis was correct‚ and the size was gradually increasing throughout the lab. At the end it was the biggest‚ so after 1440 minutes‚ the 10% test tube was the only solution that had visible bubbles of carbon dioxide. After 1440 minutes there were no carbon
