13 THE MEMBRANES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN MANY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS – 25 MARKS Membranes are found in all organisms‚ around and within cells. They control the movements in and out of cells‚ as well as protecting cells. They also allow different functions to occur. They have the same basic structure called the plasma membrane. All plasma membranes‚ around or inside cells have a same phospholipid bilayer structure. Phospholipids contribute to the flexibility of membranes and transfer

AP Bio Lab Report Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction When a substance is released into an area‚ the random movement of its molecules results in a multitude of collisions. These collisions‚ in turn‚ lead to a dispersion of the molecules. The overall movement of the molecules will be from an area of high concentration‚ where there will be more collisions‚ to areas of low concentration‚ where the number of collisions will be much less. This process of dispersion will continue until there is no

Title- Protista Lab Concept- the concept of this lab was to explore what is in the pond water as living organisms and try to identify what it is. Some types of Protista are multi-cellular like giant kelp. Although they look much like plants‚ multi-cellular protists lack specialized tissues. Being eukaryotes‚ they have a membrane-bound true nucleus with linear chromosomes‚ and they have membrane-bound organelles. The kingdom Protista contains all eukaryotes that are not plants‚ animals‚ or fungi

To measure the tendency for a readox reaction to occur‚ special apparatus called voltaic cell can be used. It is made by connecting a voltmeter between

The plasma or cell membrane exhibits ability for the cell to discriminate in its chemical exchanges with its environment and this makes cell membrane fundamental to life. This property can only be possible because of the cell membrane’s selective permeability (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). The structure of the membrane can be best illustrated by the fluid mosaic model where the membrane is said to be a fluid structure with various proteins embedded in or attached to a bilayer of phospholipids (Campbell

For this to happen‚ the molecules need to dissolve through a partially permeable. Osmosis is the diffusion of water as it goes from dilute to a more concentrated solution. Active transport is the movement of molecules from low concentration to high concentration against the concentration gradient. Energy is required for movement to occur. Water Balance- Salt concentration in blood depends on how much water is reabsorbed by kidneys

stated Katz. He remembered a scene of two boys‚ one swinging his bag towards the head of his friend‚ who kept ducking away from it. When the boy called his friend “Chicken”‚ the friend braced himself and stopped still‚ letting the boy slam him across his face with the bag. “I am no Chicken”‚ said the boy‚ sending a message and not admitting the fear he was feeling inside. Both boys were becoming men; one testing the other and the other boy proving that he had nothing to fear because he had become

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

Osmosis Lab Report Hypothesis: Osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The higher the solute in solvent‚ then there will be a higher rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We
