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

taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis. Let’s use mine. I said “if we know salt in the ocean’s water can affect its temperature‚ then I wondered if adding salt to regular tap water

William Edwards Deming was a master of quality improvement. His demonstration called the “Red Bead Experiment” was an amazingly simple‚ but effective way to highlight some problems in quality management. The example‚ which he used in many of his seminars‚ involved a batch consisting of approximately 80% white beads and 20% red beads. A group of willing workers were trained to use paddles that collected samples of beads for quality testing. The workers showed their paddles to managers who would then
