plant physiologist‚ Wilhelm Pfeffer. Ten years prior‚ Moritz Traube prepared the first recorded synthetic membrane that was made from a precipitated film of copper ferrocyanide. It was not until almost two hundred years later that the process of osmosis was revisited and extensively reviewed by researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1959‚ Sidney Loeb and Srinivasa Sourirajan developed a membrane made from cellulose acetate‚ which removed at least ninety percent of salts

You may be wondering what diffusion‚ tonicity‚ osmosis and semipermeable membrane is. I’ll start off by explaining semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane relates to the dialysis lab #1 because in dialysis tubing is considered semipermeable barriers. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows passage of some particles but not others. (Lab manual) Diffusion on the other hand‚ is a form of passive transport where particles move down their concentration gradient from a region of high

Abstract Over a two week period of time in the laboratory‚ we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature

Title Antimicrobial properties in different type of plants. Introduction A substance that kills or prevents the growth of microorganisms for example bacteria‚ fungi or protozoans is called an antimicrobial. This substance has 2 major roles which are to either kill microbes (microbiocidal) or prevent the growth of microbes (microbiostatic). Disinfectants are antimicrobial substances used on non-living objects outside the body. This substance included antibiotics‚ antifungals‚ antiprotozoals and

Tracheostomy Tube A tracheostomy tube‚ or trach tube‚ allows a person to breath without using his or her nose or mouth. Some trach tubes have a cuff on the end that keeps air from reaching the mouth and nose. A cuffless tracheostomy tube does not have a cuff. Since there is no cuff‚ a person with this kind of trach tube can cough and speak normally. Two people are needed to change a cuffless trach tube. SUPPLIES NEEDED Clean gloves. A new trach tube and an emergency trach tube. One tube should

Salt from green beans Name: Ashni Couprie and Dennise Susanto Class: 5c Introduction From previous experiments we ’ve learned that salt is extracted from green beans. To be more specific: salt is extracted from when the beans are cooked in water in which salt has been dissolved. This experiment is based upon the osmoses theory. According to this theory the cell walls of the green beans are what we call a semi permeable membrane. This membrane only lets water through and not the substance
