Diffusion and Osmosis NGSSS: SC.912.L.14.2 Relate structure to function for the components of plant and animal cells. Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (passive and active transport). SC.912.L.14.3 Compare and contrast the general structures of plant and animal cells. Compare and contrast the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. AA Background: (Source: www.explorelearning.com) Diffusion is the process in which there is a net movement of

Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into

Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days. In their hypothesis they expected to see a bell shaped pattern in metabolic rate with adult age

2. How is the colour related to surface temperature of the star? The correlation between the surface temperature of a star and its colour is due to the phenomena known as black body radiation .A star is a black body‚where it aborbs all the radiation falling upon it.AS its temperatures gets hotter thanits surrounding‚the star radiates its on electromagnetic radiation‚known as black body radiation. This radiation is distributed unevenly but contionously through multiple wavelengths of the electromagnetic

blue starch;I2(aq) + starch blue-black complex3. These three reactions react in a sequence. In any reaction the concentration is exponentially related to the rate of the reaction. The rate of the reaction is dependent on potassium iodate4. Therefore as the concentration increases‚ the rate of the reaction also increases. Since the rate of the reaction is inversely proportional to time‚ as the

have different demands in the current industry. The reaction rate of the reaction plays an important role in the production of the ester which could affect the production of the ester. Esterification is a reversible reaction and thus this affects the amount of ester produced as ester hydrolysis changes it back to its reactants. Very little data is available on how does the carbon chain length of carboxylic acid and alcohol affects the rate constant and equilibrium constant of esterification. Thus‚

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

The Effects Our Dependency on Technology Has on Us In the struggle to keep up with today’s ever-changing technology‚ is society paying too high a price? People seem to want things now. The internet is one of the most widely used technological advancements available‚ but are the consequences of the internet outweighing the benefits? Technology is changing the way people think‚ process information and even the way they act. People tend to want to take the easiest‚ fastest way to communicate‚ instead

SMOKING AND THE EFFECTS IT HAS ON TEENAGERS As a society‚ we have a long way to go to win the fight against tobacco smoking. If the parents are informed about the hazards of smoking‚ and recognize when their teen is being pressured or is actually smoking‚ then they will enact a plan of successful preventive measures that will enhance the life and health of their teenager and family. Just being aware of the circumstances and pressures that lure teens to start smoking will help parents recognize
