Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

In biology‚ energy is needed for any process or reaction. Life would not exist without the presence of enzymes (Phillips‚ 2017). Through chemical reactions‚ this energy is created and is controlled by a catalyst‚ enzymes. Enzymes are known as proteins that are produced in living cells that speed up the metabolic processes of an organism. These catalysts speed up these reactions by decreasing the activation energy‚ how much energy is needed for a chemical reaction to happen (WBC‚ 2015). An enzyme-substrate

Natasha Tenen Lab: Thursday (3-6 pm) OSMOSIS LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where water molecules move down a concentration gradient across a cell membrane. The solute (dissolved substance) concentration affects the rate of osmosis causing it either to speed the process up or slow it down. Based on this‚ how does different concentrations of sucrose affect the rate of osmosis? If sucrose concentration increases in the selectivity-permeable baggies‚ then the

most pennies if we were to tape them to two stools 16 cm apart‚ dropping pennies into a cup tied around the noodle? Expiremental Variables - We will be able to identify the mass of a penny and how it can test the strength of a pasta noodle as a result of the downward pull of gravity on the penny. Test Variable: The type of noodle is what I’d be changing throughout the process Outcome Variable: I would be observing how many pennies each noodle could hold counting every single one that drops into the

The Results from the Gram positive tests indicated that the unknown #4 was Streptococcus pyogenes. All seven tests on the unknown matched S. pyogenes perfectly. The blood agar plate proved the unknown to be β hemolytic‚ meaning the unknown bacteria was capable of complete hemolysis. This test separated the unknown into the β Streptococcus group‚ narrowing the possible bacteria to S. aureus or S. pyogenes. The Catalase test was used to determine if the unknown could break down hydrogen peroxide

The Gene Lab 1. Introduction The purpose of this report is to inform dog breeders of a very common genetic disease known as Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). The report will also inform buyers of the disease so they are aware of the disorder and they can check to dog’s pedigree for the disease. PRA could affect any dog‚ as a result of this it is recommended that the offspring should be examined by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and screened for the existence of the disorder.

Conclusion In a prior lab‚ it was given that the enzyme Aspergillus oryzae (fungus) works best at warm temperatures and an acidic pH‚ porcine (pig) works best at body temperature (37 ºC) and

composition of plant extracts has beenshown in Table 2. It was found that all extracts were positive for carbohydrates while as Cleome amblyocarpa was free of flavonoids and alkaloids. Aervalanata‚ Nerium oleander and Rhazyastricta Decne all showed negative test for saponins (Table 2). The effect of medicinal plant extracts on mycellial dry weight on P. notatumis presented in Table 3. All plant extracts showed effective reduction on growth of P. notatum biomass ranging from 2.0 to 77.2% (Table 3). Rhazyastricta

in more carbon dioxide. During those high-carbon-dioxide times‚ plants with fewer stomata will have an advantage and will be common. On the other hand‚ when carbon dioxide levels are low‚ plants need many stomata in order to scrape together enough carbon dioxide to survive. During low-carbon-dioxide times‚ plants with more stomata will have an advantage and will be common. (Understanding Evolution) Therefore‚ the question to be tested will be if you count the number of stomata of the same species
