LABORATORY REPORT Activity 4: Generation of Action Potentials Name: Instructor: Date: PREDICTIONS 1. Exceeding the threshold depolarization at the trigger zone DECREASES the likelihood of generation of action potential. 2. Action potential amplitude: DOES NOT CHANGE with distance 3. Increasing frequency of stimulation to the trigger zone: DOES NOT increase the production of action potentials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiment 1: Effect of Stimulus Strength on Action Potential Generation

Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane

of this lab is to determine an accurate time when the ice completely melts and the water starts to boil. The problem is which type of temperature change will result from heating ice to liquid‚ then boil (steam)? What will happen to the water after the boil? I hypothesise the water heats ice to liquid and then goes to simmer and boil. The independent variable is the hot plate changed to a burner itself. The dependent variable is what we are measuring is the time. The steps in the lab were to

LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different

Chemistry lab report Experiment 32 Voltaic Cell Measurements Dinmukhamed Yeraly Partner Azamat Bashabayev General Chemistry II lab Instructor Rostislav Bukasov Nazarbayev University Introduction Most of the chemical reactions can be classified as redox reactions‚ which include two half reactions‚ oxidation and reduction respectively. To measure the tendency for a readox reaction to occur‚ special apparatus called voltaic cell can be used. It is made by connecting a voltmeter between

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus

Investigating the Water Potential Of Potato Cells Aims 1. To test how water potential‚ in a solution‚ affects the movement of water in and out of a cell by osmosis Prediction I predict that by increasing the water potential around the outside of the potato cell‚ (i.e. so that the water potential is greater outside the cell compared to the inside of the cell e.g. 0m sucrose) that the net movement of water into the cell will increase. This is due to the water potential being greater outside the cell compared to

Density of a given substance is independent of volume. Density never changes. I know that for a fact because during the “Density Does Not Change With Size” lab‚ we measured the length of rods given to us. For one I got 4.2cm‚ and when i weighed it on the scale I got 14.5g. Once I put the rod in the graduated cylinder I got 5.5cm squared. But when you divide your mass by volume‚ you will get your density. And for the density I got 2.6g/cm squared.Then for the other rod I got 6.7cm for length‚ 23.2g
