Title: The Effects of Surface Area to Volume ratio in Agar Introduction: What is an efficient way to maximize mass but minimize diffusion time in cell? Answer: An efficient way to maximize mass but minimize diffusion time in a cell is to increase its surface area. If you increase the surface area of a cell relatively to its volume‚ then the diffusion time will decrease. Materials: Agar cubes‚ bromothymol blue- pH indicator‚ vinegar‚ ruler‚ spatula‚ beaker. Methods: I used agar cubes as cell models

_____Block:______ Diffusion In Agar Cubes Is Bigger Better? OR Is Smaller Smarter? Adapted from Flinn Scientific Publication No. 10110 Introduction: Diffusion is one of the very important processes by which substances such as nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen‚ and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. This activity will help you explore the relationship between diffusion and cell size by experimenting with model “cells.” In this experiment‚ you will use agar cubes

Affect Diffusion Biology The aim of this investigation is to prove the effect of increasing size on the efficiency of diffusion. Diffusion is the process that cells use to obtain oxygen‚ water and food. Also‚ how they lose waste substances‚ for example‚ urea and carbon dioxide. Basically‚ Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The surface area to volume ratio of the cell is an important factor in diffusion. It is the effect of this

Task 5: Surface Area of Cubes Introducing Surface Area For a fifth or sixth grade class to understand the concept surface area in relation to a cube they need to understand what a cube is first. 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 of a cube. The surface

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

To induce competence in the cells‚ the DNA for uptake must first attach to the cell surface prio r to passing throug h the membrane. Previous studies on the effect of surface area

C‚ the relationship between surface area and volume was investigated. Plasticine was formed into a cube and a sphere; both shapes were cut in half. It was found that plasticine volume should not vary‚ two halves have a greater surface area than a whole‚ and cubes have a greater surface area than spheres of the same volume. In Part B‚ the relationship between diffusion and surface area to volume ratio was investigated. Three agar-phenolphthalein-sodium hydroxide cubes of different sizes were exposed

Cell Biology- Osmosis‚ Cell Size and Diffusion and Enzymes 1.0 INTRODUCTION Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. They provide structure for the body‚ take in nutrients from the food‚ convert those nutrients into energy‚ and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s genetic material and can make copies of themselves. A cell is also a metabolic compartment where many different chemical reaction occur. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic
