If osmosis isn’t taking place usually diffusion is at work Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower

On the 2nd day‚ the bacteria broth will be prepared prior to an overnight culture on the same day using E-Coli and M.Luteus. On the 3rd day‚ the Anti-bacterial well diffusion test will be carried out. Finally‚ we will

cobalt chloride/ammonium hydroxide reactions both formed bifurcations. The cobalt chloride/ammonium hydroxide reaction was then investigated under different conditions until discernable Liesegang rings had formed. • It was found that the rate of diffusion of ions was increased when a D.C. current was passed through the gel‚ however the placement of the positive electrode had a dramatic effect on band formation. Band dissolution occurred when the electrode was placed at the top‚ and closer‚ more defined

unknown organisms provided by the instructor in a nutrient broth. It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The initial streak-plate procedure was performed and placed in the incubator at 37◦C for 24-48 hours. Upon observing the growth on this plate‚ it is fairly obvious that one of the organisms is Serratia marcescens

sterilizing it with 70% ethanol. Then trypticase soy agar (TSA) was poured into six groups of 60 Petri dishes (See Appendix 1). The dishes were labeled based on the antibiotic used and were left to dry and solidify at room temperature. After an hour‚ the dishes were placed in a refrigerator at three degrees Celsius. If there was visible condensation on the agar plate‚ they were flipped to avoid the contact of heat that drove the moisture out of the agar dishes. The contents of the broth culture of E.

objective of this experiment was to test the effect of a specialized type of diffusion called osmosis‚ “which involves in selective transport of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane” (Lab Manual 2nd edition). It was hypothesized that osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The more abundant the solute is in solvent‚ the higher the rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or

Biology Assessment: Influenza Structure: Viruses are non-cellular obligate intracellular parasites‚ requiring a living host cell in order to reproduce. A developed viral particle (virion) lacks the metabolic machinery of cells‚ containing just a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat or capsid. Viruses can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their genetic material (single or double stranded DNA or RNA). Viruses that affect humans are more difficult

Part A: Title: Diffusion Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of particles from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated. For this experiment‚ a 14 cm glass was filled with cold tap water. A drop of red food coloring was dropped in the cup. A stopwatch was used to measure the time it took for the food coloring to get to the bottom of the cup. The average diffusion rate was .78 cm a second. If a different color was used‚ I do not think it would have made a difference
