of potato •Scale Procedure: Step 1: Gather Materials. Step 2: Weigh each potato separately on the scale and record weight in grams on table. Step 3: Put each potato in a separate cup and add 50 ml of water to each cup‚ measure with beaker. Step 4: To create the 40% salt solution add 20 grams of salt to one cup. Measure the salt using the scale. Step 5: Add 0.2 grams of salt to the second cup. This is for the 0.4% salt water solution. Step 6: Leave cups to sit. Check on them next class and

Aneka Khilnani September 8. 2012 Period 3 AP Biology Free Response Essay: Cell Size Life is defined as a distinctive characteristic that a living organism‚ dead organism or non-living thing‚ and it has the ability to grow‚ metabolize‚ respond to stimuli‚ adapt and reproduce. Cells are not smaller that 0.1 um because within the cell all the necessary components have to take place‚ cellular metabolism‚ reproduction‚ photosynthesis and there has to be a sufficient amount of space for that to

and the promoter? It adds complimentary ribonucleotides and a promoter is the base sequence in the DNA that signals the start of a gene. 3. List 3 ways RNA is modified. Addition of a 5’ cap‚ Addition of a 3’ poly A tail‚ and introns being removed. 4. What is the genetic code? What does it mean to state the genetic code is redundant and practically universal? Most of the code is the same for all organisms. 5. What is the difference between an anticodon and a codon? A codon is a sequence of three

Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semi permeable membrane. An osmotic system is established when a semi-permeable membrane is placed between two solutions. In this biological systems context‚ osmosis is the exchange of water between the potato cell and the surrounding medium of varying sucrose concentrated solutions‚ with the plasma membrane being the semi- permeable membrane. Because water molecules have kinetic energy‚ they

principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are all fundamental concepts of Biology. This lab simulated osmosis in the cell

Lab: Inhibiting the Action of Catechol Oxidase By: Kimberly G. Introduction: In this lab‚ Mr. Greene ’s sixth period AP Biology class split into groups "to investigate inhibition of enzyme activity by specific chemicals called inhibitors" (1). Group three pondered this lab ’s inhibitor‚ phenylthiourea (PTU). Is it a competitive inhibitor? That is an inhibitor that literally "competes" with the substrate by mimicking it‚ and thus "wins" the position at the active site of the enzyme. The blocked

Lab report OSMOSIS TROUGH A SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no
