Determining the Rate of Osmosis with Water and Sucrose 10/3/2012 Determining the Rate of Osmosis with Water and Sucrose Author: Results: Bag 1 had a rate of osmosis equal to 0.01 grams per minute. Bag 2 had a rate of osmosis equal to 0.0543 grams per minute. Bag 3 had a rate of osmosis equal to 0.0471 grams per minute. Bag 4 had a rate of osmosis equal to 0.0886 grams per minute. Bag 5 had a rate of osmosis equal to -0.0914 grams per minute (Figure A). Figure A: Shifting of mass

Glucose in Yeast Cells Glucose is absorbed across the cell surface membrane (plasma membrane) of most cells. A convenient way to investigate this is to use a solution of glucose and a suspension of yeast cells. The amount of glucose taken up from the glucose solution by yeast cells in a fixed length of time can be measured. At the end of the fixed length of time‚ further uptake of glucose is prevented by transferring the yeast suspension to a boiling water bath to kill the yeast cells. If the suspension

Lead is a metal that occurs naturally in the earth’s crust‚ but human activity‚ such as mining‚ burning fossil fuels and manufacturing‚ has caused it to become more widespread. This element‚ however‚ has no known purpose that can be beneficial for humanity. Rather‚ it is an extremely harmful chemical that can cause serious damage and even potentially death when at high concentrations. Events‚ like the one in Flint‚ Michigan‚ where shortcuts by the government caused serious lead poisoning in the town

dialysis tubing to model diffusion of a cell membrane and investigating the influence of solute concentration on osmosis Purpose * Discover how dialysis tubing diffuses the cell membrane * Explore the effect of solute concentration on osmosis Background A cell membrane is a very significant function in the human body. In one sense‚ it is used as a barrier to keep the enzymes‚ DNA‚ and metabolic pathways that bundles everything together. Cell membranes are also used as a gateway for waste

central and critical role in the cell as the genetic information in which all the information required to duplicate and maintain the organism. Today‚ Scientists can analyze DNA from minute samples of blood‚ hair roots and saliva‚ but before they can analyze DNA‚ scientists must be able to extract it. The process of DNA extraction is the first step for many laboratory procedures. Scientists must be able to isolate the DNA from the other unwanted substances of the cell gently enough so that the DNA is

The author will also discuss the principal mechanisms in moving contaminants across the cell membrane and the phases of biotransformation. Environmental Effects of Contaminants On the planet today‚ there are a variety of chemicals that can negatively affect or contaminate the water‚ land‚ air‚ and even human health. This is because‚ throughout

to water‚ so it faces outward to protect the cell from water. We used red “puff balls” because they resemble the hydrophilic head through the shape. (B) Hydrophobic Tail- These tails are like to stay away from water‚ so they face inward. We used green pipe cleaners because they resemble hydrophobic tail by the way they can bend and be easily shaped. (C) Ion Channel- Ions channels transport polar atoms like‚ Na+‚ K+‚ Ca++‚ and Cl-‚ in and out of the cell from high concentration to low concentration

Peter Agre’s Discovery Figure Page Figure 1: Figure 2: Upon deciding a topic for an ideal Nobel laureate‚ I had to meet two criteria I decided for myself. Aside from the topic having to be science related‚ I decided that the laureate could not be well know‚ such as Watson or Einstein‚ and also it should be a science topic that I have found the most intriguing since entering college which happens to be the human body. Even with such a broad topic as the human body I came across a laureate
