Osmosis Lab Introduction: In order for cells to interact with their environment‚ molecules must be able to move through the cell membrane. Movement within the cell occurs by diffusion. Molecules move through the cell membrane by osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This happens because of random molecular motion. Molecules move around randomly until there is an even mixture throughout cell and mixture. The overall

experiment includes a bioreactor unit‚ a benchtop shaker unit‚ a spectrophotometer‚ flasks‚ graduated cylinders‚ cuvettes‚ micropipettes and tips‚ aluminum foil‚ and autoclave tape. Figure 2 displays some of these. Before the experiment began‚ the lab equipment was cleaned and sterilized. The bioreactor was disassembled and all equipment was rinsed thoroughly. Then‚ aluminum foil and autoclave tape was used to cover all openings in the equipment. After all the equipment had been cleaned and all the

ENZYME LAB REPORT 1. In your own words‚ define objective qualitative and objective quantitative data. DO NOT USE EXAMPLES AS YOUR SOLE DEFINITION. (3) There are two different types of information that can be obtained from research. The types of information that can be obtained are quantitative and qualitative data. Research results are considered qualitative when the results can be answered with a simple statement of yes or no. Qualitative data does not attempt to give a numerical value; instead

Meghann Kiphart AP Biology Lab Report Number One Mrs. Irvine Introduction: Because all molecules have kinetic energy and are constantly in motion cells go through a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the movement if molecules from an area of higher concentration to and area of lower concentration. This process with continue to occur until an equilibrium is reached. Osmosis is a different and unique kind of diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of

Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90 min. Over time‚ the rate of osmosis was

General Biology (BI131 01) The Cell Structure and function Abstract In this lab the structures of various cells were viewed through a compound microscope. The bacteria in yogurt was viewed a long with a slice of potato‚ and a thin skin of red onion. The potato was dyed with iodine while the red onion was dyed with methane blue. The students had to assemble the first three slides. Two more slides were provided these are the yeast and protozoa cells

1) What is the role of 0.25M sucrose as the medium for the fractionation process? Cold sucrose does not chemically react with cell organelles Due to the density and size of sucrose molecules‚ it is able to suspend pellets for configuration while providing a solution where the centrifugation can be better balanced Sucrose offers a liquid medium in which less dense fractions can be poured off as supernatant at the end of each centrifugation step. 0.25M sucrose solution is isotonic and therefore

“Do the new supplements contain fillers such as sugar and starch or are they pure protein?” This is important because the consumers might be falsely informed on what they are actually putting into their body. We are trying to answer this because it will provide the consumers with accurate results of what contents are within these supplements. In our study we had four testing reagents (Lugol’s which tests for starch‚ Biuret tests for protien‚ Benedict’s that tests for reducing sugars
