Cell Transportation Lab Eggs are a great example of a cell. Underneath the hard shell is a thin membrane that is just like the cell membranes in your cells. There are microscopic pores in the membrane that allow substances to move in and out of the cell. Way Cool! Recall that the function of the cell membrane is to control the internal balance of the cell. It helps to maintain homeostasis. In this lab you will use vinegar‚ an acid‚ to dissolve the shell off of the egg to expose the membrane

osmosis in relation to three onion cells and the impact on the cells structure. A small square of a red onion skin (membrane) was observed under a microscope at high power (X40) magnification. The observation showed a large number of onion cells. The structure of one onion cell had a general rectangular shape with a developed cell wall‚ which gives the rectangular shape to the cell and a cell membrane just beneath it. The observation under the microscope of a cell of an onion skin soaked for 15

Hydrogen Summary * This is how hydrogen fuel cells work: 1. Gas stored in tanks 2. Atoms reach anode 3. Become hydrogen ion and a free electron 4. Ion goes through electrolyte layer 5. Hydrogen ion passes‚ but free electron does not 6. Free electron runs through external circuit from anode (-) to cathode (+) 7. Current of electrons creates electricity 8. Hydrogen ion enters cathode and combines with oxygen to become water which is better for the ecosystem because

The Human Egg Cell. The human egg cell is also known as the ovum. With a spherical structure it is the largest cell in the human body measuring about 0.2mm in diameter. The function of the ovum is to reproduce‚ when fertilized by the sperm cell the ovum is capable of creating a new living organism. The size and shape of the ovum gives it space to store and create nutrients (see fig 3) (Boyle and Senior 2008) The ovum is bounded by the egg follicles of the ovaries and is produced by primitive germ
