June 30th‚ 1940 changed the lives of everyone living on Guernsey. During World War II the Germans occupied the Channel Islands‚ Guernsey included. My book‚ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society‚ is an excellent example of historical fiction for three reasons‚ it tells about the occupation of the Channel Islands‚ how the islanders had to adapt their life during the occupation‚ and how their lives were changed because the occupation. “Late in the afternoon of June 28‚ 1940‚ six Heinkel bombers

can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would move from the potato tuber to the sucrose solution reducing the weight of potatoes. Pospíšilová (1970) also states that the water absorption rate of tissue will decrease if

Aim: To investigate the effect to the potato cells in the different solute concentration water Introduction; Water can move through the different cells due to the difference of water potentials in the cells. If there is a higher solute concentration in the cell than outside the cell‚ the water will move into the cell. However‚ if the concentration of inside the cell is lower than the outside‚ water will not move into the cell. This process is called osmosis. Research question; This investigation

and I are carrying out an investigation to find out how different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads through the

from The Emigrants by Edward Kamau Brathwaite The poem from The Emigrants by Edward Kamau Brathwaite is the thoughts of an indigenous inhabitant‚ the persona‚ thinking of the invasion that has been so abruptly brought upon them which they must now face. We know that the persona is one of the inhabitants because in line four and twelve‚ the repetition of “my” personalizes what is happening‚ coming from an inhabitant’s perspective.
