to observe how three different solutions with various sucrose concentration influenced osmosis in relation to three onion cells and the impact on the cells structure. A small square of a red onion skin (membrane) was observed under a microscope at high power (X40) magnification. The observation showed a large number of onion cells. The structure of one onion cell had a general rectangular shape with a developed cell wall‚ which gives the rectangular shape to the cell and a cell membrane just

In “Extra large‚ Please‚” Alice M. Davies focuses on the increase of obesity with children‚ which schools are provoking. There are many various social problems in kids of America today ranging from poverty to drug abuse. One alarming factor that is rapidly exploding is childhood obesity. Alice Davies’ article‚ “‘Extra Large‚’ Please‚” which describe the alarming social problem of childhood obesity connected to the fast food industry in America today. Davies stated: “the number of American kids

Stem Cell Controversy Stem cells were first isolated and cultured in November of 1998 and have been surrounded with much debate and controversy since day one. “Although the ethical debates have been mostly static and have closely mimicked the ethical debates over abortion‚ the political determinations concerning federal funding of stem cell research have gone through numerous evolutions in the years since the first hESCs were isolated and cultured” (Saltzberg 505). Research is currently being

Cell Membrane Transport The purposes for these experiments is to be able to understand osmosis and its relationship to tonicity of solutions‚ and the transportation of molecules across cell membranes. It’s also used to understand‚ and how temperature affects diffusion. You also learn how to test for presences of starches and sugars in solutions. In the first exercise I will be testing for diffusion through an artificial membranes. This one has forty five steps to it. I will not go into

Most school administrations regard cell phone use as disruptive and distracting‚ and have implemented policies that prohibits using them on school grounds. Cell phones are a disruption in school. Text messaging can be used to cheat on tests. Students who are text messaging are not able to give full attention to the lesson. If a student cell phone rings in class‚ it totally disrupts the class for a considerable period of time. Many cell phones are also camera phones. Camera phones present an invasion

(cheek) cell under a light microscope. The stain methods I am going to use are iodine for my onion cell and methylene blue for my cheek cell. Introduction All animals and plants are made up of cells. Animal and plant cells are made from millions of tiny cells‚ so small that we are unable to see them with our naked eye. Animals and plants have many features in common within a cell such as a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ mitochondria‚ ribosomes and the nucleus. Plant cells also have a cell wall‚ chloroplasts

Abstract Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder that results from the abnormal structure of red blood cells. The peculiar shape of the red blood cell prevents the normal absorption of oxygen. This disease results from the abnormal production of hemoglobin S (HbS). Therefore‚ a mutation in this gene causes a lower supply of oxygen to the cells‚ which results in occlusion of the blood vessels. Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit

CHAPTER 1 Cell Structure and Organisation Cells * All living organisms are made up of cells * The simplest living organisms have one cell only * His name is unicellular-e.g. bacteria. * Most other living organisms have many cells- his name is multicellular- e.g. Man‚ plants‚ animals. * Cells can be seen only under microscope Cell structure All cells have the following structure in common: a) Cell membrane- a very thin layer of protein and fat‚ surrounding the cell. It is
