of the consequences of excessive drinking. After connecting with her‚ I wanted to know if alcohol concentration in spirits would affect the cells in the body. Thus‚ I decided to test my theory by adapting a class beetroot experiment to my investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of alcohol concentration on a biotic cell membrane. The human body cannot live long with damaged cells because they are the building blocks of life. Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers meaning

pleasant‚ fruit-like odors and are the chemicals responsible for the odors and flavors of many fruits (oranges‚ bananas‚ pineapples) and flowers. In most cases‚ such natural products get their properties from a mixture of organic compounds. In this experiment you will prepare two esters of o-hydroxybenzoic acid‚ more commonly known as salicylic acid. One of the esters‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ is aspirin‚ the common analgesic. We will synthesize aspirin by mixing salicylic acid with acetic anhydride. The

Controlled Assessment: Osmosis of a Potato [pic] Osmosis: Osmosis is the movement of substances through a partially/semi permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to balance of the concentration of the two sides. Biological membranes do allow water to pass through‚ but water will have no net movement unless osmosis takes place. Preliminary Method I have chosen to investigate the factor of the weight of potato strips after set amounts of time

After a holding period of 18 hours for winter captured crabs and a period of 30 hours for summer captured crabs‚ all individuals were transferred to containers with experimental temperature and salinity levels to begin the experiment. To observe changes due to salinity concentrations over the 48-hour period‚ groups of crabs were exposed to one of the eight salinity treatments‚ and temperature treatments were held constant at 5°C or 15°C to resemble winter or summer field conditions

Practical 1- An experiment to observe the features of an Onion Cells Method: Gather all equipment that will be used for the experiment and check that they are clean and undamaged. Using forceps‚ peel the membrane from the underside of a small piece of onion. Place the membrane flat on a clean‚ glass slide and add one drop of iodine solution. Use a pin to carefully lower the cover slip over the slide‚ ensure there are no air bubbles before the use of the slide. Set the microscope to its lowest

The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram‚ a famous social psychologist‚ and student of Solomon Asch‚ conducted a controversial experiment in 1961‚ investigating obedience to authority (1974). The experiment was held to see if a subject would do something an authority figure tells them‚ even if it conflicts with their personal beliefs and morals. He even once said‚ "The social psychology of this century reveals a major lesson: often it is not so much the kind of person a man is as the kind of situation
