Rowe Biology 4 10-8-09 Biology Essay: Parts of a Cell Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell more

General Biology (BI131 01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells. Those

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

Abstract For this experiment we tested the effects of different adrenalin concentrations (0.001%; 0.01%; 0.1%) on the daphnia flea. The daphnia was placed on a slide with cover slip in order to examine its heartbeat by using the microscope. Aim In this Lab we will study the effect of different concentrations of adrenalin on the heart rate daphnia‚ the water flea. It is expected to recognize a threshold of the daphnia in its reaction the three different adrenalin concentrations‚ in terms of heart rate

Bonnie Bell Mrs. Legary Biology P.6 21‚ Sept. 2011 Milk Lab Final This investigation consists of testing the reaction between milk‚ food coloring‚ and dishwashing soap. Different kinds of milk were tested‚ depending on the amount of milk fat content. The investigation was based on 2 questions. Lab one’s problem statement‚ using only milk fat and food coloring was: How does food coloring react in different kinds of milk fat? The second lab’s problem statement‚ using milk fat‚ food

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

are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues‚ cells and the oxidation products carbon dioxide and water given off (dictionary.com). Aerobic respiration is a cellular respiration that requires oxygen too and order to help generate energy. The two processes which are photosynthesis and respiration are
