Osmosis in Red Onion Cells By: Youssef Gharib Brief Description of Osmosis in Red Onion cells: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly

When a protein in a aqueous solution it is surrounded by water‚ in fact there can be up to 0.35g of water tightly bound to 1g of protein (Simpson 2004). Also the effectiveness of the salting out

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

Is Since Objective? Since is an objective study but in the readings of “The egg & the sperm “the author has tried to show the personal biases views by the expiations given while each organ and the process were discussed. How does culture influence the way we understand our world? Culture has always altered the way we think and behave it also gave us a distinct perspective towards what world and people are all obout.Culture has also helped us adapting other cultures other than ours and this

of that weight like the first one was 1.15g but ended up with .78g the 2nd 1.42g and the third .45 the lightest of our shells. Now it turns out that the reason why shells dissolved from the vinegar is that vinegar has 4% acetic acid. If you soak an egg shell in vinegar you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell. The acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell and releases carbon dioxide gas that you see as bubbles on the shell.

Introduction A computerized simulation experiment will be conducted in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is

b.) The mass decreased or increased in each cylinder‚ depending on if the solution was hypotonic‚ hypertonic or isotonic. In Cylinder (A) the mass decreased‚ so liquid was released from the potato‚ because the cells in the potato would have burst if even more was absorbed‚ whereas the length stayed the same. In Cylinder (B) the mass and length increased‚ which means the potato cells absorbed some Sodium Chloride (NaCl)‚ so the cells don’t shrivel up and die. For Cylinder 3 the mass and length also

Desalination of Seawater Project Paper The main concept of this Desalination process is reverse osmosis‚ but we will get into that later. Right now what is probably running through your head is what exactly is desalination. To put it simply desalination is the process to make seawater or otherwise undrinkable water safe to consume. This can be accomplished through a variety of methods such as the simplest but one of the ones that requires a lot of money would be distillation. Distillation is commonly

THE CUCKOO’S EGG BOOK ANALYSIS – TRACKING A SPY Suma Lakshminarayan Book Analysis Paper Professor Jon Clark Summer Quarter 2012 11 September‚ 2012 INTRODUCTION The Cuckoo’s Egg book is well written by Cliff Stoll. It was something like reading a horror story book. It was creepy‚ suspense‚ curiosity and scary too. The hacker every time breaks into a military system seemed to be like a ghost entering into the house and not like a thief. We know thief will definitely when he
