[Type text] [Type text] [Type text] _An experiment on the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of osmosis of Solanum tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

Figure 1. Average Mass Specific Surface Area for Three Fish. Error bars represent standard deviation from the mean. The graph represents the mass specific gill surface area for a sample size of 6 gill arches for each of the 4 lab sections (n=24). For Mackerel‚ the mass specific gill surface area was 13.62 cm2/kg. For Whiting‚ this value was 9.34 cm2/kg. Lastly‚ for flounder this value was 2.93 cm2/kg. Results: The three different species of fish‚ Mackerel‚ Whiting‚ and Flounder‚ have distinct

means that more substances have to be taken in and to also be removed. This is where the surface area to volume ratio comes into place; the reason why this ratio is so important is because the surface area of a cell essentially affects the rate of the transferring of useful substances (through diffusion and osmosis etc.) in and out of the organism. On the other hand‚ the total volume of the organism also affects the rate of the making of material inside the cell and the ability to hold all of the substances

Does Soap Affect the Surface Tension of Water? Background: Surface tension refers to water’s ability to "stick to itself". Surface tensioncan be measured and observed by dropping water (drop by drop) onto a penny. Thenumber of water drops that can fit on a penny will surprise you. Question: How does soap affect the water’s surface tension? Hypothesis: I think that the surface tension of soapy water will be less than that of freshwater because H 2 0 has strong polar bonds‚ and when water is mixed

physics and chemistry‚ heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways‚ among them conduction‚radiation‚ and convection. The SI unit of heat is the joule. Heat can be measured by calorimeter‚ or determined indirectly by calculations based on other quantities‚ relying for instance on the first law of thermodynamics. In calorimeter‚ the concepts of latent heat and of sensible heat are used. Latent heat produces changes of

HEAT GENERATED IN APPLIANCES Why do some appliances produce more heat than the others? Most appliances with high power rating are heating appliances.The heating appliances has a heating element like resistors. The resistorsconvert electrical energy into light and thermal energy . It depends on the resistance of material if how much heat can be produced from electricity. Those devices who produced heat‚ the Nichrome wire is an element who is responsible for heating . when we say nichrome

Synopsis This project report explains about the surface tension and capillarity of liquid through a simple experiment of finding the capillarity of various detergents. Oil stains and grease on dirty clothes cannot be removed‚ using water alone‚ because water does not wet them. If detergents added ‚ surface tension is decreased‚ the area of contact is increased. Detergent molecules have the shape of a hairpin‚ one of which is attracted to water

1. SURFACE RUNOFF INTRODUCTION: Runoff means the draining or flowing off of precipitation from a catchment area through a surface channel enters into a stream channel. It is convenient to visualize three main routes of travel; overland flow (air hujan limpahanpermukaan)‚ interflow‚ and ground water flow (air dari punca bawah tanah). 1 Runoff results from rainfall occurrence in a hydrologic catchment. Rainfall-runoff relations are Interflow/subsurface and base flow/groundwater flow

An investigation of Factors that Affect Diffusion Biology The aim of this investigation is to prove the effect of increasing size on the efficiency of diffusion. Diffusion is the process that cells use to obtain oxygen‚ water and food. Also‚ how they lose waste substances‚ for example‚ urea and carbon dioxide. Basically‚ Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The surface area to volume ratio of the cell is an important factor in

How to Prevent Heat Stroke Heat stroke can be a risk‚ especially in the summer months. If you want to enjoy the outdoors in hot weather‚ you should keep hydrated and avoid overly exerting yourself in heat and humidity. If you have to be outside‚ drink plenty of fluids and take breaks in a cool place. You should avoid liquids that dehydrate you‚ such as caffeine drinks and alcoholic beverages. Instructions 1. Prevent Heat Stroke o 1 Limit the time you spend outdoors to the early morning
