The Sperm and the Egg PSY/265 August 26‚ 2011 The Sperm and the Egg The main function of the sperm cell is to locate an egg‚ and fertilize it forming a zygote. Sperm cells are believed to have a sense of smell in which they use to locate the egg which is one of the clue factors sperm cells use‚ sperm cells do not just swim around randomly before locating an egg to fertilize. In the females reproductive tract it becomes warmer as the Fallopian tubes are neared. That is also another clue factor

INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium

The egg and the sperm Pennie Hausman 05/07/2015 Chy Porter PSY/265 One day Sandy Egg and Danny Sperm met at the uterus‚ a popular hangout for sperm and eggs. While chatting about their journey‚ they found each other’s story quite exciting in respect to the organs and process involved in reaching the same hotspot. Sandy begins her story by naming the female external sex organs‚ which delivers protection to the vaginal opening as well as sexual stimulation and excitement. These involved the

Eggs in a pan (Oeufs sur plat) is a still life painting by french artist Antoine Vollon. It is an oil painting on canvas depicting four eggs and their yellow yolks in a pan‚ sitting on a shelf or bench next to a pitcher of (presumably) water or milk. It was painted in the period between 1885 and 1890 and is now a part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. The artist‚ Antoine Vollon‚ was born in France in the year 1833. He focused primarily on still life painting but

Introduction The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. When in comparison

Welcome to the forpura Learn Centre: Reverse Osmosis Welcome to the forpura Learn Centre. It’s here that you’ll find everything there is to know about Reverse Osmosis water and the Reverse Osmosis under-counter system itself. If you’re on the lookout for a filtration system that can provide you with clean drinking water for your home‚ then an under-counter domestic reverse osmosis system is exactly what you need. Not only is it one of the most popular filtration systems but it’s one of the most

Introduction Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration ( hypertonic ) to a region of lower concentration ( hypotonic solution ) through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion called “ passive transport “ which means no energy is required. Diffusion is the movement of a substance by which the molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Aim

The Sperm and the Egg Tarnisha S. Hagens PSY/265 April 15‚ 2012 UOPX/Axia College The Sperm and the Egg The movement of the sperm known as semen comes from the testicles also known as the testis in the endocrine gland. Adult males build up at least 100 million sperm cells each day. The sperm cells known as semen would slowly move into the epididymis because this is where the semen would go through maturation. Before the semen became to be known it was called the spermatogenesis which differentiates

Razelle Icaro- Resub Plants absorb water from the soil via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration is equilibrium. There are usually more solvents in the water inside the plant which means there is a high concentration. Because of this‚ the water flows into the root hair cells from the soil. Watering plants with a saline solution (salty water) changes the osmotic
