Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

The primary objective of this experiment is to determine the stress that various alcohols have on biological membranes. Membranes within cells are composed mainly of lipids and proteins and often serve to help maintain order within a cell by containing cellular materials. Different membranes have a variety of specific functions. One type of membrane-bound vacuole found in plant cells‚ the tonoplast‚ is quite large and usually contains water. In beet plants‚ this membrane-bound vacuole also contains

Effect of Osmosis on Egg Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to test the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic environments on the weight of a shell-less egg. We tested the weight of the egg after thirty minutes in water as well as corn syrup. I hypothesized that when the egg was placed in water‚ it would swell and gain weight because it was in a hypotonic environment. That hypothesis was correct as the egg grew slightly and the weight when up. I also hypothesised that when the egg

Maintaining Focus in Despair Class: GS2745 Date: 09/23/13 Unit#: 1 Lab#:1 I can recall a time where I had to maintain focus and persistence in spite of obstacles that I was facing at the time. This is in fact‚ in recent history as I was going through a combination of events that seems to have come out of nowhere. I am a full time student‚ and set to graduate in two quarters. Around the end of Spring quarter and beginning of the Summer Quarter‚ I lost my job. In addition to that‚ I was

Lab 1 – Measurement of Space and Time Anthony Lucci Lab Partner: Amy Hayes Question 4: Both the height and diameter of the cylinder were taken to find the volume; five times for both measurements. Vernier calipers were used to get these measurements by clamping the cylinder between the jaws of the calipers. By looking at the mark of the zero‚ in relation to the main scale‚ the line best lined up with a line from the main scale was taken down. Getting

Egg Osmosis Lab The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate an example of a spontaneous reaction and its connection to metabolism; in this case it was osmosis. The procedures that we used to complete the experiment were taking five eggs that had been soaked in a sucrose solution and then placing each one in containers of sucrose that each had different levels of concentration. The mass of each egg was measured before being placed into the solutions and then every 10 minutes after until they had soaked

In this stimulation the amount of product produced during the course of an enzymatic product produced during the course of an enzymatic reaction will be measured. Hypothesis 1: What is the estimate optimal of ph? Hypothesis 2: What is the estimate optimal of temperature? Hypothesis 3: How does the concentration of enzyme influence the rate of reaction?

Osmosis Abstract The basic principles of Osmosis and Diffusion were tested and examined in this lab. We examined the percent increase of mass and molarity of different concentrations of sucrose in the dialysis bag emerged in distilled water and the potato cores emerged in concentrations of sucrose. The data reinforces the principles of Osmosis and Diffusion‚ and in a biological context‚ we can simulate how water and particles move in and out of our own

PSYC 101 – Experiment Assignment (40 pts) Students will carefully observe acts of aggression and prosocial behavior on television‚ report their observations‚ and analyze their data to draw conclusions. Watch 20 minutes of each of the three types of programs (do not code behavior in commercials). Record every aggressive act and prosocial act. Some categories will have several acts. Your chart and discussion will focus on comparing the following three types of programs you will watch: 1) children’s
