Biology Lab #1: Chemical Diffusion Purpose To discover how the size of a cell affects the diffusion of chemicals throughout the cell. Hypothesis I predict that as the cell size increases the diffusion depth and the diffusion rate will decrease. Equipment • Eye protection • 250 mL beaker • Timing device • Scoopula • Ruler • Scalpel • Sodium hydroxide solution • 3 different sized cubes of phenolphthalein agar • Paper towels Purpose

Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

Lipids and Phospholipids The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The head which is hydrophilic contains a group of phosphate‚ a diglyceride and a simple molecule e.g. choline. The tail is hydrophobic and is made up of fatty acids. Phospholipids receive and transmit signals across the cell membrane and act as a store room for energy. The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The

The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion‚ as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion‚ that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments‚ each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration‚ by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases‚ the

The effect of size on the effectiveness of diffusion Aim: To use agar blocks infused with 0.1 Molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and phenolphthalein to investigate the relationship between shape and surface area: volume ratio on the effectiveness of diffusion. Hypothesis: That for a cube of agar‚ the time taken for complete colourisation due to diffusion of HCl is directly proportional to the cubes volume. Materials: |A block of agar (10cm x 5cm x 3cm) with 0.1M NaOH and |1x 250mL

Introduction: Diffusion and osmosis are passive processes of transport. Passive transport involves no disbursement of energy by the cell. Diffusion movement is from high concentration to low concentration‚ which the driving force for this type of movement is kinetic energy particles themselves. Which crystal (Methylene blue‚ solid or Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-purple) will move further than the other due to the driving force (kinetic energy)? My prediction is that Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-

Introduction This essay will focus on the relationship between price‚ income‚ taste and consumer demand. It begins by reviewing related theories and then will be followed by a series of empirical evidences to support the theory explained before. Finally‚ the essay will briefly summarize what have been discussed. Price and consumer demand “Price” in the question can be viewed by 2 ways. First‚ it means the price of good itself. According to Perloff (2009‚ p12)‚ the price of good itself has negative

Diffusion is the molecular net movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For instance‚ when a person is smoking‚ the smoke diffuses into the air. The molecules in the smoke‚ released from the cigarette‚ travel through the air. Here is how it occurs. When molecules are close enough‚ they collide with each other‚ their kinetic energy changes. Due to the direct relationship between diffusion and molecular kinetic energy‚ the molecules move away from the point of the collision as
