Activity One: 1. The two major variables that affect the rate of diffusion: a. The composition of the lipid bilayer (eg. more cholesterol‚ less permeability to polar substances) b. The structure of the molecule undergoing diffusion (eg. steric conformation‚ size‚ polarity‚ amount and strength of hydrogen bonding) 2. Urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO because the pores of the membrane were too small for the urea to pass through. The molecular weight of urea is 60.06 g/mol‚ over

Factors Affecting Diffusion How does temperature affect diffusion? What is Diffusion? Definition 1: Diffusion is a process where by molecules move from an area of high concentration area to an area of low concentration. Definition 2: Diffusion is an evidence for moving particles. The spreading out of a gas is called diffusion and it takes place in haphazard and random way. Gases diffuse because the particles collide with other particles and bounce of in all directions. For example when

The rate of photosynthesis may vary with changes that occur in environmental temperature‚ wavelength of light‚ and light intensity. Using a photosynthetic organism of your choice‚ choose only ONE of the three variables (temperature‚ wavelength of light‚ or light intensity) and for this variable. • Design a scientific experiment to determine the effect of the variable on the rate of photosynthesis for the organism • Explain how you would measure the rate of photosynthesis in your experiment

Frederick Griffith | This person made an experiment that involved injecting mice with pneumonia: smooth S cells‚ rough R cells‚ heat-killed S cells‚ and heat-killed S cells with living R cells. | Avery‚ McCarty‚ and MacLeod | First to show that DNA was the genetic material‚ but not believed. Repeated Griffith’s experiment‚ but subjected the strains to different enzymes‚ isolating RNA‚ DNA‚ lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ and proteins. Only the DNA killed the mice; the others had the mice survive. | Hershey

Design: Investigation of Fermentation Introduction Introduction Yeast (Saccharomyces)is a single-celled microorganism in the Fungi family. It anaerobically respires sugars to produce ATP‚ as well as the waste products ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. This process is known as fermentation. There are various factors that affect the rate at which yeast respires. Aim To investigate the effect of concentration of table salt (sodium chloride) on the rate of fermentation of sucrose using yeast‚ measured

Name:_______________________________________________Date:____ _____Block:______ Diffusion In Agar Cubes Is Bigger Better? OR Is Smaller Smarter? Adapted from Flinn Scientific Publication No. 10110 Introduction: Diffusion is one of the very important processes by which substances such as nutrients‚ water‚ oxygen‚ and cellular wasted are transported between living cells and their environment. This activity will help you explore the relationship between diffusion and cell size by experimenting with model “cells.”

Purpose To explore transport of materials in three semi-permeable membranes: dialysis tubing‚ eggs‚ and onion cells. Background Information 1. Diffusion is the movement of solutes from high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from low to high concentration. Both refer to movement in/out of a cell‚ but osmosis refers specifically to water. 2. Isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and hypotonic all refer to the comparison of concentrations of solutes in verses out of the cell. Isotonic is

2.7.- COMPARACION ENTRE LAS CELULAS Recuerda que las celulas procarionticas son celulas primitovas que no tienen organelos rodeados por membranas. Su material nuclear se encuentra flotando en el citoplasma. Las bacterias se clasifican como procariontas. Las celulas eucariontas son las mas avanzadas y contienen organelos rodeados por membranas. Su material nuclear esta rodeado por una membrane nuclear. Las celulas de las plantas‚ los hongos y los animals son eucarionticas. Las celulas de las plantas
