Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Part 2: Safe work with large inductances 1. One of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of

Cheese: A Home to Bacteria “Cheese is just a means of controlled spoilage‚” said Steve Jenkins‚ a Master Cheesemonger at Fairway Market. (Cheese) Bacteria‚ or starter cultures‚ control the flavor‚ hardness‚ type‚ and many more aspects of cheese. The two main strands of bacteria involved in cheese making are Lactococcus and Lactobacillus‚ which ferment sugars found in the milk. Humans have learned to manipulate bacteria and the fermentation process to produce different types of cheese such as Swiss

Experiment 21: Salmonella and food contamination Purpose /Objective Objective: To test salmonella in spinach sample over five lab periods. Food contamination of salmonella can cause serious illness. Only small numbers of salmonella need to be found for a food product to be considered contaminated. Tests used Pre-enrichment- lactose broth Selective enrichment broth- with Tetrathionate Brilliant Broth Selective Plating- Brilliant Green Agar Isolation of salmonella conformation- is preformed

Coli bacteria. We began the lab by first obtaining two sterile microcentrifuge tubes‚ one was label “GFP+” while the other one was “GFP–” because this one served as a control meaning nothing goes inside this one. With gloves on 25 microliters competent cells‚ which is e. Coli bacteria compete in calcium chloride and heat shock was added to each of the microcentrifuges. Eventually‚ both of the

AIM: Finding the gravitational field strength by using a simple harmonic motion of a spring and slotted masses. INTRODUCTION: When a mass suspended from a spring is displaced‚ due to the acceleration‚ kg s-2‚ from its equilibrium and released it will oscillate up and down with a kind of motion called simple harmonic motion‚ shm. The period (T)‚ time taken to measure for one complete oscillation‚ of this motion is: m/kg =

31 October 2011 Identification and observations of Citrobacter Freundii Introduction Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly‚ it is

The objective of this macromolecules lab was to identify the presence any of the major macromolecules in various every day food items. The three macromolecules that this lab was carried out for were carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins. There were five different experiments conducted and each of those experiments had one factor in common‚ they all had the same controls. The controls in this lab activity were already set for the lab activity. The controls were the distilled water and the baking soda

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus
