Gas exchange is a biological process that is essential for the survival of an organism. The purpose of this process is to obtain oxygen from the environment (which is necessary for cellular respiration‚ and to dispose of CO2‚ a bi product of respiration. An efficient gas exchange system has 3 requirements. It must have a large surface area over which the gases can diffuse. A large surface area maximises the amount of area available for the gases to exchange. It must also be moist. Oxygen must first

Joanna Packham ENG 111 Reverse Osmosis in Our Life My husband and I installed a reverse osmosis drinking water system in our home. I have traveled a lot recently and met lots of people including engineers on the yachts that thought me a lot abut reverse osmosis systems. They explained to me that RO are declining in popularity because they remove the minerals as well the impurities from the water. Long-term consumption of filtered water had negative health effects. I was asking myself is RO water

Seamus Heaney – ‘At a Potato Digging’ • Context • • The poem deals with two different potato harvests. One is the harvest from the present day that goes successfully and which delivers a rich crop. The second potato harvest looks back to the famine of 1845 when the crop failed and many people starved. Whilst the famine is no longer a threat‚ its ongoing fear remains and this can be seen in the use of religious language throughout the poem. For example‚ the bowed heads of the potato pickers suggest the

The Effect of Concentration Gradient on Osmosis Abstract: Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration‚ usually across a membrane (Thorpe 2013). Tonicity is the ability of a solution surrounding a cell to gain or lose water (Reece 2011). There are many factors that affect the rate of osmosis. These include temperature‚ surface area‚ difference in water potential‚ pressure‚ light and dark and most importantly what we will be talking
