Scientific Writing and Standard Components of a Lab Report INTRODUCTION Writing is a powerful tool. Effective communication is necessary to succeed in any field. As a professional‚ you must communicate with both your colleagues‚ and the community at large. Writing is the means of showing the value of your work. The specific style of writing in science is based on the unique audience of readers. In addition‚ writing allows one to organize one’s thoughts and clarify ideas‚ and it fosters abstract

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane

[Type text] [Type text] [Type text] _An experiment on the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of osmosis of Solanum tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato

1.Discuss the structure of the plasma membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. 2. Explain your observations in detail in terms of concentration gradient‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ osmotic pressure‚ passive transport‚ and active transport. Explain what happened to the blood cells at the various levels of concentration. Be sure to refer to the solutions as being hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic. The plasma membranes are made up of proteins that form

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with some properties of water and solutions and distinguish between such terms as diffusion‚ dialysis and osmosis. In this experiment‚ we will be going over water residue‚ water of hydration‚ solutions and dialysis. For Water Residue section‚ place about 1 mL of tap water on a clean watch glass and gently heat it until water has evaporated. Record if there is any residue and repeat this procedure using deionized water. Next‚ for Water of Hydration

Writing of Lab Reports __________________________________________________________________________ W hy should I bother writing lab reports in the correct way?” The Foundation Programme is designed to prepare you for undergraduate studies at UTAR which will require the writing of lab reports all years generally. At the end of your third year‚ you may have an opportunity to work on scientific projects which will culminate in an official scientific report. Depending on the quality of your report

BIOLOGY OSMOSIS LAB REPORT 1. Research Question/ Aim How do the different sodium chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be
