can bring it back‚ and only memories of it’s presence remain. The inevitability does not lessen the pain and emptiness it leaves in it’s wake. In three short stories‚ “Gwilan’s Harp” by Ursula K. LeGuin‚ “The Washwoman” by Isaac Singer‚ and “The Last Leaf” by O. Henry‚ the theme of loss is illustrated through the loss of a family member‚ prized possession‚ and a friend. Any heirloom passed down through a family gains personal value with each consecutive generation‚ and Gwilan’s harp is no exception

The effect of size on the effectiveness of diffusion Aim: To use agar blocks infused with 0.1 Molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and phenolphthalein to investigate the relationship between shape and surface area: volume ratio on the effectiveness of diffusion. Hypothesis: That for a cube of agar‚ the time taken for complete colourisation due to diffusion of HCl is directly proportional to the cubes volume. Materials: |A block of agar (10cm x 5cm x 3cm) with 0.1M NaOH and |1x 250mL

Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

Introduction: Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment‚ the study of the effects of different wavelengths on leaf pigments‚ if chlorophyll a absorbs blue-violet light‚ chlorophyll b absorbs blue light‚ carotene absorbs blue-green light‚ and xanthophyll absorbs blue light‚ then wavelengths of greatest absorption will be 400‚ 450‚ 500‚ and 450 respectively. Independent Variable: Wavelengths Dependent Variable: optimum wavelengths of light for absorption Standard Variable: method of

Egg Osmosis Lab The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate an example of a spontaneous reaction and its connection to metabolism; in this case it was osmosis. The procedures that we used to complete the experiment were taking five eggs that had been soaked in a sucrose solution and then placing each one in containers of sucrose that each had different levels of concentration. The mass of each egg was measured before being placed into the solutions and then every 10 minutes after until they had soaked

Where as the active transport requires energy from the molecule to be moved. oFacilitated diffusion can only move in one direction from high concentration to low concentration‚ which is with the gradient. Where the active transport can move from both low concentrations to high concentrations‚ therefore it can move against the gradient where as the facilitated diffusion can not. The process of active transportation is when a molecule work together with the active side of a protein
