results indicate that the unk B tap water can be considered as hard water. INTRODUCTION Hard water is due to metal ions (minerals) that are dissolved in the ground water. These minerals include Ca 2+‚ Mg2+‚ Fe3+‚ SO42-‚ HCO3-. When this water evaporates or boils‚ the difficult to dissolve metal salts remain as a scaly residue. Hard water inhibits the effectiveness of soap and detergents. Calcium ions typically make the most significant contribution to water hardness. This is why hardness is

ANDERSON’S WATER POTENTIAL VIDEO (SAVES TIME AND EFFORT!) Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit area compared to pure water. Which allows you to figure out where water’s going to flow due to osmosis‚ gravity‚ pressure and even surface tension. It also allows you to figure out if water will flow in the first place and if it will flow into the cell or not. Water Potential (symbol psi) = Solute Potential (symbol psi s) + Pressure Potential (symbol psi p) Solute Potential= -i (ionization

determine the water potential of potato tuber cells. Background knowledge Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is considered in terms of water potential and solute potential. Water potential is a measure of the kinetic energy of water molecules. Here‚ water molecules are constantly moving in a random fashion. Some of them collides with cell membrane‚ cell wall‚

ONION EPIDERMIS INTRODUCTION An eukaryote is an organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other structures (organelles) enclosed within membranes. Plant cells are eukaryotic cells that differ in several key aspects from the cells of other eukaryotic organisms. Their distinctive features include: A large central vacuole a water-filled volume enclosed by a membrane known as the tonoplast which maintains the cell’s turgor (provide structural support) and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol

of Onions”‚ you will read about the ways that you can impact the flavors and textures of different types of onions ranging from the more pungent to the milder. Bomze makes clear the two basic types of onions to look for when choosing a pungent or mild onion at the store. Shopping tips are included on how to check the neck‚ firmness‚ and thickness of skin when searching for a milder or more pungent onion. You will also learn in this article how to work with and control the flavor of the onion by

is an electrolytic cell. It contains an electrolyte through which an externally generated electric current is passed by a system of electrodes (electrically positive electrode is called the anode and the negative electrode the cathode) in order to produce an electrochemical reaction. Such a reaction involves the transfer of electrons between two electrodes immersed in an ion-conducting medium – the electrolyte. A batter unit is often referred to as a cell. Electrolytic cells have many practical

nerve cell maintains a difference in charge between the inside and the outside of the cell membrane. This difference in charge is continued by three factors. Firstly‚ in the cell membrane‚ there are sodium potassium ‘pumps’ crossing the membrane which are proteins that bring 2 potassium ions into the cell‚ for every 3 sodium ions it pumps out. As well as this‚ there are protein channels which allow potassium ions in the cell to flow out via facilitated diffusion. Potassium diffuses out the cell much

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of plant cells by osmosis. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubes as they provide a ready supply of homogeneous material. I did the investigation in two parts‚ the first part of my investigation was my preliminary investigation and then I did my official investigation. In both of my investigations there are several similarities‚ such as fair testing‚ variables‚ key variables‚ reliability
