Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

An essay about cycles in biology. Jessie Dean Biological cycles are vital in many aspects of life on earth. From cycles within the body that keep organisms alive such as the cell cycle‚ Krebs cycle and the Calvin cycle to cycles that encompass many aspects of life and our planet such as the Nitrogen and Carbon cycles. The cell cycle involves actively dividing eukaryotic cells passing through a series of stages known collectively as the cell cycle. The two gap phases (G1 and G2) and S (for synthesis)

1. What are the different restriction points of the cell cycle? Describe each. G1 (Restriction) Checkpoint * End of G1‚ just before onset of the S phase (DNA replication) * Yeast “start”; other eukaryotes “restriction point” * The options for the cell at this point: * divide‚ delay division‚ or exit the cell cycle * Cells can exit the cell cycle at this point into an arrested stage (G0) * When this checkpoint is passed‚ cdk4 and cyclin D

concentration gradient until each side of the membrane are equal. The water moves because the membrane is impermeable to the solute and the solute concentrations may differ on either side of the membrane. Water molecules may move in and out of the cell‚ but there is no net diffusion of water. Water will move in one direction or the other‚ and this is determined by the solute or solvents concentration levels. If the two solutions are of equal concentrations‚ they will be isotonic. If the concentrations

ESSAY PRACTICE Cycles in Biology A cycle can be defined by a series of repeated steps that produce an end product which is the same as the start product. There are many cycles in biology including cycles that occur inside organisms such as the cardiac cycle‚ calvin cycle and the krebs cycle. There are also biological cycles that occur around us in the outside world such as the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle. I have decided to focus my essay on the biological cycles that occur inside
