Introduced in the 1990s‚ agave syrup has become quite popular with people who are health and fitness conscious as well as those who are into more natural‚ gluten-free or organic products. After all‚ agave comes from a plant so it must be healthy‚ natural‚ and great for us‚ right? As it turns out‚ this is not necessarily the case. In the past few years‚ I used agave syrup or nectar in several recipes before I heard some negative things about it. I have looked at where agave comes from‚ the chemical

Razelle Icaro- Resub Plants absorb water from the soil via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration is equilibrium. There are usually more solvents in the water inside the plant which means there is a high concentration. Because of this‚ the water flows into the root hair cells from the soil. Watering plants with a saline solution (salty water) changes the osmotic

The purpose of this lab is to determine the rate of reaction under different circumstances. Different variables will be manipulated to discover their effects on a particular reaction. Changes in temperature‚ pH‚ and enzyme concentration are examples of factors that have the potential to affect the initial rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction in a controlled experiment‚ whether it be speeding the reaction up or slowing it down. Part I of the experiment establishes a baseline that can be used to compare

Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction Tonicity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution (Lab 6-7). There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other

Title: Osmosis in quails’ egg Aim: To observe the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg To explain the effects in terms of osmosis Research Questions: Does the different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg effect the final mass of quail’s eggs that is measured by using electronic weighing balance? Introduction: “If a cell is to perform its functions‚ it must maintain a steady state in the midst of an ever-changing

experiment‚ one of the big is osmosis‚ and how it had the overall impact in this excitement a little on osmosis. Osmosis takes place when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semi-permeable membrane in which the solvent can pass through but not the solute. In our experiment‚ we used a sucrose solution that will be a hypotonic concentration of solute. This tells us that the solution has a lower concentration of water than does the cells. Therefore‚ due to osmosis‚ the cells will gain
