The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher

beet cell membranes Introduction: Cell membrane is the plasma like substance that separates different organelles and molecules within an organism. The cell membranes vital function is to permit passage of protein and enzymes through their wall. Red beets‚ also known as Beta Vulgaris has a red pigment that is located in its large central vacuoles. It is my hypothesis that if the cell membrane is to experience extreme temperatures‚ then it’s most likely it will affect the membrane. * I hypothesized

Purpose: Examine the role of the cell membrane in the cell by disrupting its function using temperature (Biology 107 Laboratory Manual 2014). This will improve the general understanding of optimal growing temperatures and the breakdown of the cell membrane Procedure: Betacyanin solution of a known concentration was diluted to create a dilution series‚ then placed in a spectrophotometer set to 525 nm. The absorbance of the dilution was used to create a standard curve for betacyanin. Discs of living

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Because of the selective permeability of the membrane only water and other very small particles (iodine) can be diffused through simple diffusion. The solution out of the dialysis tubing had a higher distelled iodine concentration of solutes (iodine + H2O) than did the starch solution. So iodine move into the cell and react with starch molecules to formed starchiodine‚ the blue compound

1a. Aquaporins are membrane proteins that have fourteen various structures however the most common form is that of a homotetramer. The homotetramer is often found in the membrane and composed of four aquaporin membranes. The structural arrangement creates a fifth channel in the middle that allows for gas transportation. 1b. The direction of H2O molecular flow through a channel is determined by an osmotic gradient. 1c. One of the mechanisms that prevents proton channeling is due to the (ar/R) and

respiration. In the presence of oxygen‚ pyruvate or fatty acids‚ can be further oxidized in the mitochondria. Each mitochondrion is enclosed by two membranes separated by an intermembrane space. The intermembrane space extends into the folds of the inner membrane called cristae which dramatically increase the surface area of the inner membrane. Cristae extend into a dense material called the matrix‚ an area which contains RNA‚ DNA‚ proteins‚ ribosomes and range of solutes. This is similar to

Evidence for and against the Davson – Danielli model of the membrane structure Analysis of evidence from electron microscopy that led to the proposal of the Davson-Danielli model 1. A lighter area sandwiched in between two darker layers 2. Proteins appear dark in electron micrographs and phospholids appear light. This appearance supports the Davson-Danielli model. 3. Proteins stain darkly‚ suggesting that the dark pattern of the cytoplasm of the red blood cell is the distribution of proteins 4

Premature Rupture of Membranes Article Review As the article states‚ premature rupture of membranes occurs when the amniotic membranes surrounding the growing fetus rupture causing a loss of fluid before 37 weeks of gestation and before the onset of natural labor. PPROM‚ preterm premature rupture of membranes is seen often in women who smoke and use recreational drugs. If PPROM occurs before 26 weeks of gestation it is considered extreme and more often than not leads to more serious complications

energy and are constantly in motion cells go through a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement if molecules from an area of higher concentration to and area of lower concentration. This process with continue to occur until an equilibrium is reached. Osmosis is a different and unique kind of diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a permeable membrane. The phrase “permeable membrane” means that the membrane will only allow specific molecules through such a water or oxygen. In

The Effect of Different Molar Mass on the Diffusion on Substances Lunar-maius A. Gaerlan Group 2 Sec. X – 9l August 15‚ 2012 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using agar-water gel test. The agar-water gel set up was composed of a petri dish of agar-water gel containing three wells. Drops of potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚ potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and methylene blue(C16H18N3SCl) were simultaneously introduced to each well. Methylene blue
