A2 Biology Coursework A1- Develop a hypothesis Outline your biological knowledge or research related to the problem under investigation Yeast are eukaryotic species and make up approximately one percent of species in the kingdom Fungi. One of the most well studied yeast species‚ Saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ commonly known as bakers yeast‚ and also used in the fermentation of alcohols‚ is a model species for the study of eukaryotic cells. They are known to reproduce either sexually‚ by mitosis‚

preparing some potatoes for cooking. He put some water in a pot and added some salt. He cut up the potatoes and put them in the salt solution. Then the telephone rang and he spent 30 minutes talking to George. When he returned to put the potatoes on the stove they were flaccid (soft). Explain what happened to the potatoes. The concentration of free-moving water molecules is higher in potato cells‚ the cytoplasm of the cell is hypertonic. The water molecule will flow from higher concentration to lower

WATER OUR LIFELINE Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. As a chemical compound‚ a water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1.7% in glaciers and the ice caps of Antarctica

the effect caffeine has one ’s short term memory. The method used was a mixed design‚ a combination of the repeated measures and independent measures designs. The participants used were chosen from a sample opportunity‚ and all were twelfth grade Biology students. The results indicate that the lowest average score was that of the experimental group‚ after they ingested caffeine. The conclusion made is that I was unable to replicate the results of Koppelstatter‚ Mitchell‚ or Womble and Lesk. My

Introduction In this investigation‚ me and my partners performed an experiment to find the different energy contents in food and different amounts of energy released when consumed. Throughout this experiment our procedure was to take different food samples and use a device known as a calorimeter made from a can of aluminum‚ one large paper clips and a string of copper wire to measure the amount of thermal energy released during a reaction. By measuring the temperature difference before and after

Monica Perez Experiment 8: Acetylsalicylic Acid Experiment 01/25/2013 CHM Lab- 2211 Sec 0016 Instructor: Jennifer Reed Introduction: Commonly used as Aspirin‚ acetylsalicylic acid is an analgesic (pain reliever)‚ which is one of the products of the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. This esterification occurs since the hydroxyl group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester. In this experiment‚ we will be able to recreate

a tremendous variety of oxidation states that appear in its compounds. The oxidation numbers range from Mn (III) in compounds like Mn(NO)3CO to Mn (VII) in KMnO4. Compounds of manganese range in oxidation number between theses two extremes. This experiment involves the preparation of a Mn (III) complex of actylacetone (also named 2‚4-pentanedione) which is a useful starting material for the preparation of other Mn (III) compounds. Manganese (III) complexes are relatively stable and can be prepared

We only used 200g of chopped fruit peels (banana and papaya)‚ 1.5 distilled water‚ 3 gulaman bars and etc. This product efficiency must estimate three trials having three replication each. After three trials that the study is not proved‚ it will be considered failure. The paper covers five important chapters namely:

Autism Autism can be described in many ways; it is an illness that can affect the communication‚ intelligence and socialization of an individual. According to the article The Immune System’s Role in the Biology of Autism by Paula Goines and Judy Van de Water states‚ “Neurodevelopmental diseases characterized by restricted interests‚ repetitive behaviors‚ and deficient language and social skills. While there are no concrete biological markers for the disorder‚ immune anomalies are frequently
