Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

Aim: To Find and test the Iron content in different food sources INTRODUCTION: A Redox titration was used in order to perform this experiment. Reduction/oxidation (redox) process occurs when electrons are transferred from a donor species (the reducing agent) to another acceptor species (the oxidizing agent). It happens between an analyte and a titrant. A redox titration is done just as a normal titration is done‚ however instead of titrating an acid against a base‚ an oxidizing agent is titrated

ADI Lab Report Every living thing is made up of cells. All cells have some part in common. Some multicellular cells are highly specialized and carry out some very important functions. One of the special cells are red blood cells‚ their functions‚ transporting oxygen from the lungs to the cells in the body. Red blood cells look like little discs. Red blood cells can change their shape‚ this ability allowing them to squeeze through capillaries without breaking. Our task is to Design and carry out an

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable

closer the heart rate should be to the resting heart rate of the Daphnia. Possible errors that could have gone wrong are the duration given to allow for the absorption of the different concentration of salt solutions due to the limited time during the lab period and the distinguishing of the separate heart beats and the inaccuracy of a constant time being off by points of a

series of tests. First was the glucose‚ lactose‚ and sucrose test. Through these three tests‚ I was able to detect the ability of the microorganism to ferment a specific carbohydrate. Fermentation reactions are observed by the color change in pH. In class‚ we used phenol red as the pH indicator and the result was a yellow color which indicated that enough acids products have been produced by fermentation (Phenol Red Carbohydrate Fermentation Broth lab handout). Next was the catalase test. After adding

We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives

Title: Observation of Macroscopic Chemical Changes‚ Alice Kimbrell‚ Chemistry 101-DS01:74589‚ 5/31/2013. Purpose: In this lab‚ I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change‚ and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these

Next‚ we decided to change the experiment a little. We wanted to test if different colors of light‚ has an effect on ladybug feeding. We set up two lamps; one with red lighting and the other with blue lighting. Again‚ we set up two two-part clear containers with four ladybugs and twenty aphids. This is shown in the Figure
