Different methods of transpiration… Water uptake from the soil: Plant roots are surrounded by soil particles. The outmost layer of cells (the epidermis) contains root hair cells that increase the surface area of the root These cells absorb minerals from the soil by active transport using ATP for energy The minerals reduced the water potential of the cell cytoplasm; this makes the water potential in the cell lower than that in the soil. Movement across a root: The movement of water across the

Lab Report: Scientific Method Your Name: Alyssa Melincoff Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? To find out how table salt affects the boiling temperature of water. Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water? Adding

Some of you have been asking for clarification regarding your optional use of the MSAF‚ the student self-reporting absence form. As you may know‚ this is allowance that you are permitted to use once per term to address temporary illnesses and deadline pressures. The allowance provided is generally five days‚ but faculty are asked to specify how the MSAF is to be applied in their particular course. Here are my guidelines: For all other more serious illnesses and absences‚ you would follow the

Adaptation Definition: Adaptation is the process of how organisms develop special structures and internal processes to enable them to live in their environment. Definition: Adaptation is the process of how organisms develop special structures and internal processes to enable them to live in their environment. Organisms can be adapted in two ways: 1. Body structure (e.g. Small ears to reduce heat loss) 2. Body processes (e.g. Osmoregulation in salmon) There are several factors which

Exercise 1 (20 marks) 1. What happens to the blood pressure and heart rate when the arterial resistance is increased? When arterial resistance is increased‚ the blood pressure increases and heart rate decreases. For instance‚ when arterial resistance increased to 150%‚ systolic blood pressure increases to 132.8mmHg‚ diastolic pressure increases to 82.1 mmHg‚ and heart rate decreased to 51.8/min. 2. What might give rise to condition with increased

Diffusion of Cell Size 2012 Kayla Szabo Loxton High School 2/20/2012 Rate of Diffusion Practical report Introduction: Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Cells need to utilise diffusion to exchange materials from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell for them to survive. Diffusion is a passive process‚ which means it doesn’t involve the need of energy. For a cell to survive it relies greatly on its size
