The cell membrane is a semipermeable membrane made to separate the interior of the cell from the exterior and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Diffusion is how substances more in and out of the cell. There are several types of diffusion‚ but for the purposes of this lab‚ we will be focused on simple and osmosis. Simple diffusion and osmosis are vital for the diffusion of water and maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability to maintain equilibrium and keep the organism

Animal Cell There are two types of cells that exist. Prokaryotic cells are simple cells that have few organelles. These cells don’t have a nucleus‚ but do have DNA. The DNA acts as a sort of “blueprint” for growth and reproduction in the cell. Prokaryotes are things like Bacteria. Eukaryotic cells are a lot more complex than a prokaryotic cell. These cells are able to convert food to energy‚ break down waste products‚ digest food‚ and assist with reproduction of new cells. Eukaryotic cells are in

BRIEF INTRODUCTION: Beetroot cells contain a red pigment stored in the cell vacuole in the membrane to prevent leaking out from the cell. In this experiment we used several solvents to calculate which one made the cell release more pigment. RESULTS: A table showing the results of the intensity of the color and the absorbance of the liquids with the different solvents. Solvent Results from colorimeter 0.001 Acid (Hydrochloric) 0.358 Ethanol 0.132 Hot water 0.984 Cold water-distilled

a typical cell‚ the concentration of K+ is about 5mM and the concentration of Na+ is about 150 mM. When you increase the concentration of K+ from 5 to 25 mM and reduce concentration of Na+ from 150 to 130 mM‚ the outside has more concentration of K+. The membrane is permeable to a particular ion‚ that ion will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to

Various types of Fuel Cells and their working By : Divykant Vishwakarma 03996404910 EEE 2nd shift S.No. 14 Fuel Cell A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Hydrogen is the most common fuel‚ but hydrocarbons such as natural gas and alcohols like methanol are sometimes used. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a constant source of fuel and oxygen/air

Impact of Technology on Cell Theory Technology has had a profound impact on the development of cell theory‚ allowing scientists to view the components of organisms on an unprecedentedly small scale. Before the creation of microscopes‚ misconceptions about how organisms were originated arose. The idea of spontaneous generation‚ a theory held for nearly two millennia‚ proposed that organisms originated from inorganic matter. The lack of technology impeded on the development of cell theory‚ until the creation
