55. a) Cuticles on the outermost layer of angiosperms are clear‚ which allows for light to pass through. The leaf is shaped in a way that will allow it to absorb more sunlight and be more efficient. Photosynthesis takes place in the spongy parenchyma and the palisade parenchyma. In order to obtain food‚ it is controlled by the stoma which controls the passage of gas and water. b) Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the

Lab 1 Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ and Water Potential of Glucose Problem: What effects will glucose have on diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and water potential? Background: All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. These include exchanging gases (usually CO2 and O2)‚ taking in water‚ minerals‚ and food‚ and eliminating wastes. These tasks ultimately occur at the cellular level‚ and require that molecules move through the membrane that surrounds the cell. There

Title: Homeostasis Date: 19th January 2010 Aim: To observe‚ draw and label the parts of a nephron. Apparatus: Slide of the transverse section of a kidney Pencil Paper Microscope Method: The slide of the transverse section of a kidney was mounted on the microscope and observed under high power. Drawings of the parts of the nephron were made. Calculations of Magnification: Loop of Henle One Ocular Division = 0.22 µm Size of Specimen = 2 ocular divisions Conversion of Ocular

AP Biology Lab 1 Ross Lordo Introduction Questions 1. The solute potential would be -2.48. If the concentration inside the cell is .15 M‚ then would diffusion out of the cell and into the solution of .1 M. This is due to water potential and the tendency for water to move from areas of high water potential to low water potential. 2. The turgor pressure must be equal to the water potential if there is no net diffusion. The cell and environment have reached equilibrium and the movement of water

[2] when it was published in 1998. She spent eight years writing her second novel “The Inheritance of Loss” [3] . Much has been made of the parallels between the book and Desai’s family history but it’s not an autobiography. Desai herself has said that in places it’s about experiences within her family – such as the experience of immigration and going back to India. Kiran Desai’s second novel The Inheritance of Loss can be viewed as a Diasporic [4] novel. The various themes which are intertwined

1. Why do flowers have such a pleasant scent? What would be the practical reason? The practical reason for flowers having such a pleasant scent is to attract birds and insects such as bees. By attracting them to the flower‚ the bird or insect will be more likely to spread the pollen of the flower around‚ allowing for reproduction of that flower. 2. What is the reason behind evolutionary adaptation of flowers into bright colors? The reason behind the evolutionary adaptation of flowers

Objective of experiment * The objective of the experiment is to assess the effect of different pH conditions on enzyme activity. Hypothesis * I feel the pH affected the enzyme activity to produce product. Prediction * If the pH affected the enzyme activity to produce product‚ then rate of reaction will change. Procedure * The procedure that we followed was to take two test tubes and label one pH2 and one pH10 and incubate 1 ml of each solution for 30 minutes. Then after 30 minutes

Complete the following questions and submit via Blackboard 1. List two events which occur during prophase of mitosis: 1. An aster is formed by fibers radiating from the centrioles of the cell. 2. Chromosomes are formed when the chromatin threads coil and then condense‚ and these chromosomes are two identical chromatids bound together by a centromere. 2. What is the main occurrence involving the chromosomes during

Diffusion and Osmosis Through Dialysis tubing We did this experiment to test the diffusion of different substances through dialysis tubing. We used what we knew about diffusion to make predictions on what we thought the mass of the dialysis tubing to be after submerging them for 30 mins and we knew that diffuse occurs from highest concentration to lowest concentration. Since the dialysis tubings are filled with different substances than what they are being put into then they should all gain
