Salters Nuffield Advanced Biology AS Revision summary Unit 1 Topic 1: Lifestyle‚ health and risk Topic 2: Genes and health Unit 2 Topic 3: Topic 4: SNAB Biology AS Revision Summary Understanding the specification The following summary tries to explain what is meant by the specification statements for the SNAB AS course. SNAB includes a lot of material because it helps you to understand ideas or because it is interesting‚ but it can be a little confusing when it comes to knowing what to

Potato Chip Monopoly ECO204: Principles of Microeconomics Instructor: A monopoly is an industry composed of only one firm that produces a product for which there are no close substitutions and in which significant barriers exist to prevent new firms from entering into the industry (Case‚ 2009). In a different definition‚ it can be distinguished by a lack of financially viable competition to produce the goods or services as well as to substitute goods. Monopolies often refer to a procedure

are much smaller than the phospholipids. Osmosis Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration (weak/dilute solution) to an area of low water concentration (strong/concentrated solution) through a partially permeable membrane. The Effects of Osmosis 1. If the water concentration of the cells cytoplasm is lower then that of the medium (i.e. the medium is a hypotonic solution) surrounding the cell then osmosis will result in the cell gaining water. The water

Osmosis Osmosis is just a special case of diffusion - where water diffuses through a membrane which has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at
Premium Osmosis Cell wall Diffusion
The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion‚ as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion‚ that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments‚ each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration‚ by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases‚ the

formal papers that describe and analyze lab experiments. They follow a very specific format. If you study this paper carefully and follow its directions‚ you will find that these papers are not at all difficult and can have a positive impact on your Biology grade. Paper formatting: The paper should be typed and double spaced. Use a standard 12 point font (do not use cute fonts or colored paper!). Except for the title and abstract – each section should have a subheading. Title: The title should

Australian Ectotherms and Endotherms- temperature regulation Part A :Types of Temperature regulation 1. Write down the meaning of the terms endotherm and ectotherm. Consult a textbook if necessary. a. endotherm Endotherms are animals that can maintain a constant internal body temperature. For instance mammals and birds are true endotherms that can maintain a constant internal body temperature b. ectotherm Ectotherms are animals that are not able to regulate their body temperature or in simple

Male System The structure and function of the human male reproductive system‚ is very similar to that of many other mammals. The male system is designed to make sperm or male gametes and is adapted to provide for the delivery of these gametes to the female to allow for fertilization. Male Reproductive System Male Reproductive System Structures 1. testes -- produces sperm and the hormone testosterone 2. scrotum -- pouch enclosing the testes keeping the sperm at an optimum temperature
