Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

S5E1 Gaseous Diffusion 1.0 ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ our objective is to find out the gas diffusion coefficient‚ D of acetone in the air. This experiment is conducted at a temperature of 50ºC and atmospheric pressure. The method that is applied to conduct this experiment is called the Winkleman method where the level of acetone (Z) is determined every 15 minutes by using a microscope. With the level of acetone being determined‚ a graph of t/L+Lo (min /mm) vs. L-Lo (mm) is plotted and the

is to determine the stress that various alcohols have on biological membranes. Membranes within cells are composed mainly of lipids and proteins and often serve to help maintain order within a cell by containing cellular materials. Different membranes have a variety of specific functions. One type of membrane-bound vacuole found in plant cells‚ the tonoplast‚ is quite large and usually contains water. In beet plants‚ this membrane-bound vacuole also contains a watersoluble red pigment‚ betacyanin

Diffusion across Biological Membranes: A simulation Introduction Diffusion is the process by which collisions between molecules cause to spread apart. This movement is described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Hence‚ diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed. This is to ensure that molecules have reached a state of equilibrium. Diffusion occurs spontaneously‚ no energy is involved. In cells‚ Diffusion occurs through

Fatmata Diffusion Abstract dialysis tubing is‚ made of cellulose because it’s a selectively permeable membrane. In this experiment‚ we are testing to see if the solution in the beaker moves into the dialysis bag. Which because of that‚ Introduction Diffusion and osmosis are two types of transport mechanisms. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration until the molecules are evenly distributed through the area. Osmosis is the dispersion

collected in lab #1 shows the relationship of surface areand volume in the artificial cells to the diffusion rate using the phenolphthalein-NaOH agar and the HCl solution. Lab #2 was a model of diffusion and osmosis‚ in which we filled the model cells with different solutions and determined the rate of diffusion. In lab #3‚ the results demonstrated the interactions between selectively permeable membranes‚ water‚ and solutes and how they are important in cellular and organismal functions. In lab #1‚ the

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not

curing eye defect is Gas permeable contact lenses (GP lenses). These lenses are able to maintain their shape instead of adapting to the shape of the cornea due to its firm oxygen permeable material. The lenses can provide improved vision‚ deposit resistance and are inexpensive as they are long lasting.
