of Contents Background Research As an object becomes bigger its surface area and volume increases but the surface area to volume ratio decreases‚ this is because volume increases quicker than the surface area; as volume is three dimensional. This concept applies to cells and reaction rate because cells need to absorb their food‚ water and oxygen through their cell membrane and depending on the size of the cell membrane the rate at which it absorbs its requirements is changed. If the cell is large

How does surface area affect reaction speed? The aim of this experiment was to investigate how the surface area affects the rate of a reaction in between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. My hypothesis was that if the surface area to volume ratio of calcium carbonate was increased‚ then the rate of the reaction will increase because there are more particles that are accessible by the hydrochloric acid‚ thus more particles that can react with each other. Variables Independent- Surface

solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would move from the potato tuber to the sucrose solution reducing the weight of potatoes. Pospíšilová (1970) also states that the water absorption rate of tissue will decrease if

Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

They will learn that a cube is a special type of rectangular solid. The length‚ width‚ and height of a cube are exactly the same. After explaining what a cube is they will need to understand what it means to find the surface area. The surface area is not the same as finding the volume

An investigation how sugar solutions of different concentrations affect osmosis. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. If a solution has a low concentration then the amount of (in the case of my investigation) sugar‚ the solute‚ will be low and the solution will be weak. If there is high amount of sugar then the solution will be concentrated (have a high concentration). When two solutions

(g). The distilled water resulted in the most weight gain (g) because the solution is hypotonic – a hypotonic solution results in the water diffusing into the cell because the molecules of the substance are moving from an area of higher concentration (outside of the cell) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) (Hammel & Schelegel 2005). Therefore‚ the water was moving into the cell‚ causing the potato cell to increase in size. The potato appeared to be quite turgid and swollen through observation
