Aerobic Respiration Breaking down glucose to release energy Products are Carbon dioxide and water Diffusion is … the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a low concentration until the concentration is equal. Role of a human circulatory system: Diffuse In – oxygen (O2)‚ dissolved food (glucose) and water (H2O) Diffuse Out – carbon dioxide (CO2)‚waste and water(H2O) Respiration – releasing energy in cells Breathing – getting air into and out of your body

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

The potato’s introduction into Europe proves to be one of the most significant examples of a foreign food crop being able to extensively affect the lives of a an Old World Population. Before the assimilation of the potato crop into the majority of Europe’s agricultural landscape‚ peasant populations constantly faced famines while current food sources provided little nutritional value and were not efficient sources of energy. As Europe adopted the brown tuber‚ people were provided with a far more

Biology 1010 is a course that introduces students to the basic biological phenomena in all living organisms. It focuses on the different molecular levels of organization‚ heredity in evolution‚ genetics and reproduction. Through this course‚ I was able to master three essential concepts such as Mendel’s Law of Segregation‚ enzymes‚ and photosynthesis. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk that argued that parental traits are passed on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors”. Heritable factors

The Potato Epidemic One fine morning in the Kingdom of Sandwiches‚ SandwichKing and Sandwich‚ his pet‚ were going for a walk. Suddenly‚ green potatoes‚ “The SWAT‚” came out of nowhere and asked a million questions about mashed potatoes? Then suddenly‚ as fast as they had appeared‚ they disappeared. “Who was that?” asked SandwichKing‚ “And what do they want with mashed potatoes? Whatever.” Then SandwichKing and Sandwich continued on their walk. The next day‚ when SandwichKing looked out his window

I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

Potato Batteries: Veggie power! Data and Analysis Background The battery was invented around 1800 by Alessandro Volta in Italy. It has become an indispensable part of modern life. Why are batteries so useful? Because they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You can use this electrical energy to light a flashlight‚ to start a car‚ or to listen to your favorite music. We made a simple battery out of a potato by placing in it a zinc strip and a copper strip. At the zinc strip‚ the
