The hypothesis if water is added to the cup then the mass and volume will decrease because water will go into the tubing to decrease solute concentration was supported by the data found in Table 1 and 2 because the cup holding the dialysis tubing with the protein solution’s mass decreased by 7.61 grams and the volume decreased by 17.3 milliliters while the mass of the cup with the tubing holding glucose solution also decreased by 1.19 grams and the volume decreased by 2.2 milliliters (Emma Ricks and

Motion; the random movement and tendency of particles of a substance to move from an area of greater concentration to lower concentration via diffusion until equilibrium has been attained. In addition to observing the passive process of diffusion‚ the experiment demonstrated how a semipermeable membrane will only allow certain substances to diffuse across a membrane. Materials Needed • Dialysis tubing • 2 pieces of thread • Funnel • Culture dish 8 test tubes • 2 disposable pipets • 100mL beaker

After the seven days of quantitative and qualitative data collection‚ the results showed that the substances individually had a significant effect on their respective plant. Furthermore‚ the original hypothesis was shown to be accurate regarding the sucrose and caffeine receiving plants‚ and inaccurate in the case of the plant receiving carbonated water. To begin with‚ it is important to note the control plant experienced unusual results‚ as the plant had a sharp decrease in the quantity of blooms. However

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

Abstract Literature on Van’t Hoff’s law states that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t

Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

In this context‚ vascular permeability drives tumor-induced angiogenesis‚ blood flow disturbances‚ inflammatory cell infiltration‚ and tumor cell extravasation. This can directly restrain the efficacy of conventional therapies by limiting intravenous drug delivery. Indeed‚ for more effective anti-angiogenic therapies‚

Abstract: During the lab a better agent for absorbing Procion Red Dye was trying to be found. Using the different dilutions of a stock solution and a spectrophotometer an Absorbance vs. Concentration graph was created and using the trendline from that graph it was determined which agent‚ zeolite‚ magnetic zeolite‚ or charcoal were better at absorbing the dye. From the results collected it was found that charcoal was the best at absorbing the dye‚ when moles of dye per gram of agent used were calculated
