The Effect of pH on the Rate of Osmosis Using a Glucose Solution Melissa Werderitch Biology 157 11/6/06 Introduction In a journal article written by Florian Lang‚ osmosis is essentially explained as the flow of water from one area to another that are separated by a selectively permeable membrane to equalize concentrations of particles in the two locations (Lang‚ 1997). Osmosis is able to maintain osmotic pressure and regulate a cell’s volume. In a hypotonic () or hypertonic () environment

Biology SL Internal Assessment What is the effect of heat on vitamin C concentrated in lemon juice? Introduction: “Vitamins are complex organic substances that are needed in very small amounts for many of the essential processes carried out in the body.” 1It is estimated and supported scientifically that only a few mg are filling the daily recommendation‚ which is essential for a healthy living. As most of vitamins cannot be produced by our bodies‚ we need to obtain them

MEASURING pH Date of Lab: 02/09/13 Date Report submitted: 02/26/13 Purpose of the experiment By doing this experiment‚ we were trying to learn how to measure a pH with a pH meter to determine whether a solution is weakly‚ moderately or strongly acidic or basic; but also to compare the different data founded to see how the addition of certain liquid to a solution may affect the pH of the initial solution. Materials We used: * Tap water‚ distilled water‚ Soda and milk as the main

Pre-lab questions: 1. Algae belong to what Kingdom? They belong to the Kingdom Protista. 2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae‚ phaeophyta which are brown algae‚ and rhodophyta which are red algae. 3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs? Algae are autotrophs. 4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize? The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize

Design Lab Experiment: How would an increase in the atomic radii of the metals in period 4 affect the time it takes for a metal to react with HCl. Hypothesis: If Hydrochloric Acid is dropped on all of the metals in period 4‚ then the elements with the largest atomic radii will react faster with Hydrochloric Acid because atoms with bigger atomic radii are

water with no chlorine. Clean an area of space you think is suitable‚ preferably lab tables. Take out 5 beakers. Take out an electric mass scale. Turn on electric mass scale (power button) and place a beaker on top of the scale. Make sure to only measure one beaker at a time. Wait till the digits on the screen slow down and stop at a number. The number it stopped at‚ that is the number you will right down in your lab book (that you will get out) as scrap notes. After you have measured each beaker

Name: Mugabe Rodrigue Class: Grade 11B Subject: Biology Topic: DNA Extraction From Onion Date: 20/1/2014 Introduction: DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material in organisms. Nearly every cell in an organism has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus.The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A)‚ guanine (G)‚ cytosine (C)‚ and thymine (T). The order‚ or sequence‚ of these bases determines the information available for

AndrewGuerrero BIO 125 Lab Due November 14‚ 2012 Practical Exam 1. a. The symbionts (Paramecium) of the termite belong to the kingdom Protista b. Paramecium living in the intestines of termites breaks down the cellulose walls of wood fibers releasing proteins that are absorbed by the termites’ digestive system. Paramecium benefit by having an environment to thrive and they ingest the wood fibers for their own nutrition as well. 2. c. An important ecological effect

too long (shriveling is a common misconception)‚ a tea bag’s contents diffuse through the water. These are all examples of diffusion and osmosis. These phenomena happen everyday and people don’t realize what is actually happening. The purpose of the lab is to see the effects of diffusion and osmosis. In part B‚ the higher the concentration of solute‚ the higher the mass of the solution. Methods and Materials: For part A of the experiment‚ the following items are needed: Dialysis tubing‚ IKI solution
