Toby Rheinberger Lab Partner: Jeremy Saba | [The Effect of surface area to volume ratio and solute concentration on osmosis.] | The aim of this experiment was to test the effect of surface area on osmosis and the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. To test this aim to hypotheses were devised. 1) If potato pieces are immersed in various salt solutions‚ then the pieces with the greatest surface area to volume ratio will experience the greatest weight change‚ because more water can

BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell reproduces;

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention

An Understanding of the Concept of a Three-Dimensional Cubes and Surface Area in the Classroom Written by Vanessa Kinsey There are several uses in our daily lives that involve calculating the area of objects or places. Many of these daily recurring calculations require using acquired skills to figure out the area of three-dimensional objects. When introducing the concept of surface area to 5th and 6th grade students‚ they need to first know what three-dimensional objects look like and understand

ORGANISMS ARE MADE OF CELLS THAT HAVE SIMILAR STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.1 Outline the historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular‚ the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown The Cell Theory states that: All living things are made of cells (Theodor Schwann & Matthias Schleiden) Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of organisms (Theodor Schwann) All cells come from pre-existing cells (Rudolf Virchow) The historical development of the cell theory: 1485 –

into usable forms. Autotrophic cells capture free energy through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Photosynthesis traps free energy present in sunlight that‚ in turn‚ is used to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis captures energy present in inorganic chemicals. Cellular respiration and fermentation harvest free energy from sugars to produce free energy carriers‚ including ATP. The free energy available in sugars drives metabolic pathways in cells. Photosynthesis and respiration

Everyday at the same time‚ check for yellow colouration among the bananas in each bowl. Experiment ends once yellow colouration is observed. Expected Result: It is expected that yellow colouration will occur first in the wrapped banana. Limitations: Weather patterns and temperature differ each day Conclusion: In the end both bananas became

Topic Selection Microsoft recently unveiled its prototype‚ Surface‚ their version of a tablet or alternative device to a personal computer. It is questionable how Microsoft‚ a known software company‚ will be able to manufacture and sell a tablet device that is a contender in the marketplace against devices such as the iPad. Thesis: It is critical that Microsoft produce a device that overcomes the limitations of its competitors and adds features that set it apart‚ in order to define itself in

have the same volume as the original model. Q1. Use a piece of A4 paper to make a box with a length of 10cm and a width of 3cm. Then find the volume of the box and the total surface area of the paper used to make the box. T.S.A: 5 rectangles and 4 squares 5 x L x W + 4W = 5 x 10 x 3 + 4 x 9 = 186cm Volume: 5 rectangles and 4 squares L x W x H = 10 x 3 x 3 = 90cm Q2.
