After a holding period of 18 hours for winter captured crabs and a period of 30 hours for summer captured crabs‚ all individuals were transferred to containers with experimental temperature and salinity levels to begin the experiment. To observe changes due to salinity concentrations over the 48-hour period‚ groups of crabs were exposed to one of the eight salinity treatments‚ and temperature treatments were held constant at 5°C or 15°C to resemble winter or summer field conditions

KF 1(a) SOLUBILITY OF AN SALT BY TITRATION Date : __________________________ Name : _____________________________________________________ Matric no. : __________________________ 1. Objective(s) of Experiment To measure the change in solubility product of potassium periodate (KIO4)‚ when an inert salt (NaNO3) is added to the solution. 2. Why important to determine solubility? The solubility product expression can be used for predicting whether or not precipitation will occur

Artif Biology Project – Do You Agree With the Creation of This Artificial Cell? Introduction The aim for this project is to find out the positive and negative impacts of the creation of a new artificial cell called Cinthya (Annex N.1)‚ how can it be used positively in different fields‚ and at last‚ if I personally agree with the creation of Artificial Cells. In this project I will inform you about the uses of Artificial Cells in medicine and other subjects‚ if there are any drawbacks and finally

regions of membrane lipids involved in cell signaling are called lipid rafts. • Hopanoids are sterol-like molecules found exclusively in bacteria. • Membranes from cells grown in media enriched with stearate are less fluid than normal membranes. This is because the membranes have more saturated fatty acids. • The functions of the biological membrane are : • They contain receptors for the detection of external signals • They provide a means of cell to cell communication • They regulate movement

cCELL PHONES A cell phone is the biggest invention of this century. It changed our lives dramatically and nothing is the same anymore. Especially combining computer and phone made such a different world for everyone. The reason for the invention was to help us communicating easily‚ but in my opinion it also causes us to cut off communication between people. First of all‚ we became virtual humans because we are constantly texting and using social media on our phones‚ we also start having virtual

Experiment 1 Background Diffusion is a process‚ in relation to the spontaneous movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport method‚ that requires no cellular energy (ATP). This movement occurs‚ until a state of equilibrium has been established on both sides of the membrane. The diffusion of molecules happens at cellular level‚ through a cell membrane via the pores. The cell membrane

In this experiment‚ one of the big is osmosis‚ and how it had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the

SPECIALIZED CELL ANIMAL Sperm cells PLANT Xylem cells are specialised to find a female cell (egg cells) and join with it. They have tails‚ that makes them move in water to find and fertilize the female cell. They can move because they have many mitochondria located between the tail and the head‚ which gives them energy. In the head‚ there is a vacuole filled with acrosome‚ which is a specialized Lysosome that releases enzymes in order for the Sperm Cell to break into the Egg Cell‚ through the
