Osmosis Practical Report Introduction: To determine the biological changes that occur to potato cores over a period of time in different solutions of sucrose and to relate these changes to the phenomenon of osmosis. Method: We soaked several discs of potato cuted using a cork borer with around 1 centimeter of diameter and 2 milimeters of lenght into sucrose solutions with a different range of concentrations from 0 to 1.0M. Then we weighed all the potato

Osmosis is the net movement of water from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water down a concentration gradient. This is done to equalise the solute concentrations on the two sides. Therefore‚ in other words‚ the movement of water is depended on the concentration of dissolved solute in the water (in this case the sucrose) and if there are a higher concentration of sucrose in the visking tubing‚ the water in the beaker will move into the visking tubing to make both solution balanced

Josh P. AP Biology 12-10-13 Lab Writeup The Effect of Transformation of pGLO in Bacteria Background/Objectives/Hypothesis: Genetic transformation is a process that primarily is inserting new DNA into an organism to change that organism’s trait. This process has many useful benefits when used correctly in different organisms. In this lab‚ bacteria was transformed by inserting DNA for Green Fluorescent Proteins. The DNA for these proteins were taken from bioluminescent jellyfish Aequorea

Investigating the effect of surface area to volume ratio on Osmosis As far as living organisms are concerned‚ they are all made up of cells whereas‚ the membrane surrounds all those cells. The cell membrane has the key responsibility to maintain a stable interval environment. Even though‚ Cell membrane is made up of phospholipids bilayer and has that great amount flexibility making it unbreakable while transportation of substances. However‚ certain substances such as‚ dissolved gases‚ sugars‚ salt

Potato osmosis report Operators Introduction The purpose of the liberation Liberation is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when it is in the water. To find out how osmosis takes place and what it ’s purpose as well as other examples of osmosis. The experiment is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when they are in the water and understand the osmosis process occurs. Osmosis Background facts Osmosis comes from the Greek "[-mo: ´ s] (new latin osmo ´ sis‚ Greek

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semi permeable membrane. An osmotic system is established when a semi-permeable membrane is placed between two solutions. In this biological systems context‚ osmosis is the exchange of water between the potato cell and the surrounding medium of varying sucrose concentrated solutions‚ with the plasma membrane being the semi- permeable membrane. Because water molecules have kinetic energy‚ they

Einston Vue Mr. Andrews AP World History 19 October 2014 From the 5th C.E. century to the year 1325‚ the spread of Islam occurred in the trans- Saharan area in Africa. The spread of Islam impacted many of these societies‚ affecting the rule of kings‚ changing the daily lives of many people‚ and changing the religions. However‚ these changes did not transpire by themselves. The spread of Islam was possible because of the trade and merchants in the Sahara‚ the many kings and their servicemen‚

Lab Report DIFFUSION AND THE EFFECT OF AMYLASE. Aim: We will interpret and explain the activity of an enzyme added to a solution. We will analyze reactions in different pH ranges. The starch solution will appear blue when mixed with iodine. But after mixing the enzyme amylase to the starch‚ the starches are broken down into simple sugars. Now‚ when the iodine is added‚ no color change exist. Instruments and materials used: 1.) Dialysis bags x2 2.)
