This makes sense because the farther the cell is from osmotic equilibrium‚ it will gain weight faster (McCutcheon 1926). This supported our prediction. The increase in osmotic rate because of an increase in solute concentration is because water moves from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high

Abstract: Two parts of this lab were performed involving photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The first part of the lab consisted of cutting out spinach leaf disks with a straw and then putting them into syringes containing an infiltration solution and sodium bicarbonate. Then the syringes were place under the presence of light and watched as certain disks floated. This part of the lab consisted of watching photosynthesis take place. Then for the second part of the lab we tested cellular respiration

Titration Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab is reach and be able to calculate the equivalence point when we use titration to neutralize a base with acid. The process of the lab was determining the volume of a solution needed to react with a given mass or volume of a sample is called titration. The equivalence point is when the same number of moles of acid and moles of base has been added. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator because it will have a color change when the equivalence point

* Would yeast produce more carbon dioxide with the presence of sugar at room temperature or in an incubator? | -Observing Cellular respiration in yeast cells. | Yeast Lab Background Information: Yeast is a tiny unicellular fungus that obtains energy from outside sources (a heterotroph) mostly sugars in order to grow and reproduce. Yeast is often used in bread dough to make the dough rise. With the presence of oxygen a yeast cell creates energy by performing cellular respiration and

the bag with 0% concentration‚ which means it has 100% water. The outside of the bag has 10.57% sucrose and 89.43% water. This makes the outside of the bag hypertonic to the inside‚ resulting in a net flow of water the outside in order to reach equilibrium. By losing water‚ the inside of the bag will have a lower mass and is shown in the class average of -20.61% decrease in mass. A source of procedural error was that the bags could have possibly leaked the solution because the only way the bags were

The Gene Lab 1. Introduction The purpose of this report is to inform dog breeders of a very common genetic disease known as Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). The report will also inform buyers of the disease so they are aware of the disorder and they can check to dog’s pedigree for the disease. PRA could affect any dog‚ as a result of this it is recommended that the offspring should be examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and screened for the existence of the disorder.

exists in our small intestine and our small intestine uses acid to break down food. The result from the lab prove my hypothesis correct because lactase worked well at body temperature and it also worked well at pH of 4.5 to 5.5 mg/dl proving that lactase works best at an acidic pH number. The lab shows that the highest amount of glucose is made by temperatures close to body temperature. In our our lab‚ we found that at 35 °C 500 mg/dl glucose was produced‚ which was the highest number of glucose that

Stoichiometry lab 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the limiting reactant‚ also to find the percentage yield and percentage purity of the reaction that happens between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. The other purpose was to know how the reaction can be balanced and created. Hypothesis: In this lab we are going to see a precipitation reaction. This is a reaction where two soluble salts Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride are added together and the result is the precipitation

Meiossis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in the Model Organism‚ Sordaria. By: Katie Fiorillo BIO110 Lab TA: Lauren Smith October 30‚ 2012 A. INTRODUCTION: In this lab‚ the organism Sordaria fimicola was used to explore factors contributing to genetic evolution of sexual reproduction. These organisms are found in “Evolution Canyons‚” which occur when two mountain slopes with very different climatic conditions congregate with a comparatively small valley
