Ben Zaré 9MK Biology Investigation - Osmosis in Potato Cells 9/7/04 Section 1 Planning Aim What is the aim of your experiment? What do you want to find out? The aim of this experiment is to investigate how potato tissue changes when placed in sucrose solution of different concentrations. Therefore‚ I want to find out if and how osmosis differs‚ when the concentration is changed. Variables What is the variable you are going to change in the experiment?

address this question: “Propose a possible explanation on why the light caused depolarization of the off-center ganglion cell?” we first have to describe the structure of the center -surround in the receptive fields of retinal. In the receptive field‚ there are cone photoreceptors that communicate with On and Off center bipolar cell and finally On and Off center ganglion cells that carry the action potential to the cortex. When light comes to the retina (eyes) it causes closing of channels in the

Cell Yell In this generation‚ people tend to speak their mind regardless of their surroundings. Thinking back to a few years ago‚ everything was private. Not too many people were broadcasting personal business in public settings. Nowadays when using public transportation services‚ it’s rather annoying to hear the next person’s conversation. What ever happen to keeping your conversation private? Privacy plays an important role in my life. Everything isn’t for everyone to hear‚ see‚ or understand

SPECIALIZED CELL ANIMAL Sperm cells PLANT Xylem cells are specialised to find a female cell (egg cells) and join with it. They have tails‚ that makes them move in water to find and fertilize the female cell. They can move because they have many mitochondria located between the tail and the head‚ which gives them energy. In the head‚ there is a vacuole filled with acrosome‚ which is a specialized Lysosome that releases enzymes in order for the Sperm Cell to break into the Egg Cell‚ through the

The cell wall is the tough‚ flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection. Just as the wall of the factory is for the factory. The wall also is the structure and strength. The cell membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

The Cell Theory The Cell Theory‚ formed by Anton van Leeuwenhoek‚ Robert Hooke‚ Matthias Schleiden‚ Theodore Schwann‚ and Rudolf Virchow‚ refers to the idea that cells are the basic unit of structure in every living organism. The theory justifies three principles: all living organisms are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the most basic unit of structure‚ function‚ and organization in all organisms; and all cells come from pre-existing‚ living cells. The formation of the cell theory
