conditions do cells gain or lose water? Did water move into the cell or out of the cell while it was surrounded by hypotonic solution? The water moved into the cell‚ because there was less water inside the cell than outside (there were fewer water molecules inside). 2. In which direction did the water move though the cell membrane when the cell was surrounded by the hypertonic solution? The water moved out of the cell because there was a higher concentration of water inside the cell than outside

support‚ move‚ and protect the body; they also give us our features. But without bone cells we would have no bones. Bone cells are the living units that make up your bones and keep them functioning. Bone cells have two major roles‚ which are the production of new bones and resorption or destruction of old bone. They also carry out other small roles. There are four main types of bone cells: Osteogenic‚ which are bone cells that respond to traumas‚ osteoblasts‚ which form bone matrix around themselves by

CELL THEORY – STEM CELLS Stem cells are a large focus of study in today’s biomedical world. “They are cells that exist in an undifferentiated state‚ and transform into differing tissue types depending on what the cells surrounding them are‚“ (National Institute of Health‚ 2012). Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition‚ they also serve as an internal repair mechanism inside many tissues‚ dividing without

The cell functions much in the way a city does. Although it may be an old analogy‚ it may be one of the best. Following is a list of cell parts and how their function is similar to functions of a city or town. The cell membrane is the city limits of our city. Outside of the city limits‚ the local government has no jurisdiction‚ but inside those limits‚ people are subject to the “laws of the land”. The nucleus – This is the place where direction is given and DNA is sent from. This would

permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane. So at 10% concentration

The effect of varying temperature on thee Rennin enzyme Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to see what affect different temperate had on the reaction rate of the enzyme rennin. The experiment was performed by placing test tubes filled with renin and milk into water bath which was heated or cooled to one of the temperatures trialed. The hypothesis justified because it found because it though data that the enzyme reacted faster with the 45° temperate because it was

Plasma membranes are selectively permeable. The purpose of this experiment is to reveal how a form of diffusion in a semipermeable membrane works by creating a real life simulation of a semipermeable plasma membrane. This is done by building an imitation of a caterpillar’s digestive tract using dialysis tubing and glassware. The first material in this experiment is a small beaker representing the head and crop of the caterpillar. This beaker is filled with both starch and the enzyme α-amylase. This

Title Antimicrobial properties in different type of plants. Introduction A substance that kills or prevents the growth of microorganisms for example bacteria‚ fungi or protozoans is called an antimicrobial. This substance has 2 major roles which are to either kill microbes (microbiocidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbiostatic). Disinfectants are antimicrobial substances used on non-living objects outside the body. This substance included antibiotics‚ antifungals‚ antiprotozoals and

Cell Energy Worksheet Answer the following questions: Cellular respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? The main function of cellular respiration is to generate ATP for cellular work; it is the process of harvesting chemical energy from organic fuel and converting it to ATP energy. The three stages of cell respiration include: Glycolysis‚ Citric Acid Cycle‚ and Electron Transport(Simon‚ Reece‚ & Dickery‚ 2010). • What is the role of glycolysis
