to gain an understanding of the processes that account for the movement of substances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes

When Chemicals React! Mr. Bell’s honors level chemistry class conducted an experiment during their lab demonstrations‚ this consisted of elements such as phosphorus and calcium chloride in their experiment. This along with another hydrogen based sunstance produced‚ what looked like a pinkish-looking substance inside of their flasks that were at their lab stations. Sophmore Kelly Caudel said‚ “ I actualley enjoy doing the experiments in this class‚ because it gives us a chance to get away from

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

The Differences in the Number of Stomata amongst Three Different Life Stages of Leaves Introduction Stomata control a tradeoff for the plant: they allow carbon dioxide in‚ but they also let precious water escape. A plant that could get enough carbon dioxide with fewer stomata would have an advantage since it would be better able to conserve its water. Levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere change over time — so at times when the atmosphere is carbon-dioxide-rich‚ plants can get away with

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

able to use this process to make their own food. This chemical reaction takes place in Chloroplasts‚ cells that are found in any green part of the plant. Chloroplasts are in green fragments of the plants because it contains a green pigment called chlorophyll. Although Photosynthesis can occur in any green portion of a plant‚ it mostly occurs in the leaf. Chloroplasts are primarily located in the cells of mesophyll‚ which are located inside of the leaf. In order to synthesize‚ plants are in need of

the percent yield by dividing the expected yield‚ the amount of product that should be produced based on your stoichiometric calculations‚ by the actual yield‚ the amount of product that is experimentally obtained from a chemical reaction. In this lab‚ I have determined the reaction for mixing two reactants together; I measured out 0.005 moles of each reactant‚ lead (II) nitrate and potassium chromate. I dissolved‚ mixed‚ and made them react to make products; I compared the mass of the two reactants

zmosis The IB Lab Report Measuring osmosis 1. Introduction My experiment is about osmosis on a potato and if or the quantity of salt affects osmosis. I would do the experiment with 5 potatoes cut into squares all the potatoes weight the same so the weight can`t be a variable the I put the potatoes on 5 different plastic cups with different amounts of salt and then I weight them again to see if the quantity of salt affected the osmosis of potatoes 1a. Research question ¿Does the quantity
