and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential to life‚ assists cells in executing crucial chemical processes. Molecules travel by two means; active transport or passive transport. Active transport is the movement of a substance from a low to high concentration against the

Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and they

EVALUATION OF NEWLY RECOMMENDED SWEET POTATO VARIETIES UNDER COCONUT BY NELSIE MODINA FERNANDEZ Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the growth and yield performance of different sweet potato varieties grown under coconut‚ and to determine which variety of sweet potato would perform best under coconut. Among the agronomic characteristics measured‚ only herbage yield differed significantly among sweet potato varieties and was lowest in PSB-Sp 16. Based on ocular observation‚ this might

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water

An investigation to compare the reaction rates between potato and hydrogen peroxide against liver and hydrogen peroxide through loss in mass. Background information: Catalase is an enzyme that is found in all cells. This means that it is an intracellular enzyme. And enzyme is a biological catalyst. A catalyst is some thing that speeds up a reaction without being changed itself. Because of this enzymes and catalysts can be used again and again. Enzymes are protein chains that have a primary‚ secondary

Potato Battery Chapter I: Introduction I. Background of the Study Do you have like 500 unused sacks of potatoes and don’t know what to do with it? Does your low class battery always die out on you at the exact moment you look at the last digit of you clock? If you answered yes‚ then here is the solution to your problem! Potato batteries are designed for you! So why do you spend so much money in buying new batteries for your digital clock if you can use the alternative resource. II. Statement

a.1 Eukaryotic Cell vs Prokaryotic Cell All cells can be classfied into prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes were the only form of life on Earth for millions of years until more complicated eukaryotic cells came into being through the process of evolution.
