    Lab report OSMOSIS TROUGH A SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy.  This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though).  Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached.  This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no

    Cell Fractionation * Cell Fractionation: takes cells apart and separates the major organelles and other subcellular structures from one another. * Tissue cells are the first one to be homogenate or broken apart. * Plasma membranes are broken up so that there internal contents spill out and mix together and this is called homogenate. * Homogenate is in spun in a higher rate of speed in a process called centrifugation. And that speed can vary that why it’s called differential

    ANIMAL CELL MODEL ORGANELLE FUNCTIONS Cell membrane: Separating the interior of the cell from the outside environment‚ the cell wall is selectively permeable‚ only letting certain things through. It is involved in a variety of cellular processes‚ such as cell adhesion and cell signalling. Cytoplasm: The fluid that fills the cell‚ cytoplasm uses its dissolved enzymes to break down larger molecules. The products can then be used by the organelles that are suspended in the cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton:
