Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

The reason why I think this could be a limitation is because each solution has an extreme acidic pH level like 1 or 2. As a result‚ I speculate the supreme acidity of the solution could negatively affect the pH measurer that could make it lose the originality to measure the right pH level for later product. Hence‚ it is crucial to have the pH measurer calibrated in a buffer solution so that the measurement can have a high accuracy overall. Thirdly‚ when measuring the

measure the rate at which water enters a leaf shoot. The rate at which water enters a plant depends on the rate at which it evaporates from the leaves‚ for instance transpired into surrounding atmosphere. Also‚ in the shoot‚ the water could stay in the cells‚ or be used in photosynthesis and assimilated into carbohydrate‚ or it could be passed on up the xylem to the leaf tissue. Any external conditions which affect the rate of transportation will be expected to effect on the rate of water uptake. In

and meiosis? (4 points) a. Crossing over does not occur in mitosis b. The number of cells exchanged is different and mitosis occurs in all organisms and meiosis only occurs in certain organisms and the number of cells (Campbell‚ 2009). 6. Answer the following questions: a. Explain the difference between mitosis and cytokinesis. (3 points) Firstly mitosis occurs before cytokinesis. Mitosis results in growth of cells and cytokinesis is for maintenance. Mitosis divides a cell’s nucleus and cytokinesis
