Laura Raymond Dr. Herrera Close Reading December 9‚ 2012 A Search for Identity In the book Peel My Love Like an Onion‚ by Ana Castillo‚ the only thing that can make Carmen happy is Flamenco dancing. But unfortunately‚ she is diagnosed with polio and dancing gets much harder for her to do. Because it gets so difficult for her‚ she tries to find other jobs to make money. Although she finds jobs here and there to earn money‚ she is unable to find happiness in her life without dancing. She feels

Discussion: We have made four set-ups in two different specimens. Onion and Boat of Moses skin with water‚ 2%‚ 5% and 10% salt (NaCl) Solution. Based on our experiment‚ the result of the set up explains that the presence of the salt solution results in outward diffusion of water and the collapse of the protoplast. In table 1‚ we have observed under the microscope that the onionskin mounted with water has no results of plasmolyzed cell (0%). This time‚ we have repeated the procedure with 2% salt

calculator collected‚ determine solute potentials of the solutions and answer the questions asked to better understand this particular part of the lab. Lab 1E - Using the materials gathers‚ prepare a wet mount slide of the epidermis of an onion. Draw what you see of the onion cell under the microscope. Add several drops of the NaCl solution to the slide. Now draw the appearance of the cell.

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Experiment 2 : Transport Across Membrane Name : Matrix No : Group : B Semester : 1 Date of Experiment : 05.09.2013 Lecturer’s Name : Miss OBJECTIVE To study the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. INTRODUCTION In cellular biology the term membrane transport refers to the collection of mechanisms that regulate the passage of solutes such as ions and small molecules through biological membranes‚ which are lipid bilayers

LABORATORY 1b - Water Potential II LABORATORY 1b: WATER POTENTIAL II OVERVIEW In this laboratory you will investigate the effect of solute concentration on water potential as it relates to living plant tissues. OBJECTIVES Before you begin this lab you should understand: - the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis and their importance to cells - the concept of water potential - the relationship between solute concentration‚ pressure potential and the water potential of a solution - the concept

Cells must move materials through membranes and throughout cytoplasm in order to maintain homoeostasis. The movement is regulated because cellular membranes‚ including the plasma and organelle membranes‚ are selectively permeable[1]. The purpose of an automatic flow of molecules is to create equilibrium on each side of the membrane. In order for molecules to pass through the membranes‚ there must be pores. The size of the pore determines what molecules can cross. Due to the size and polarity‚ only
