Direction and concentration gradients Bradley Benton ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will investigate the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. A semi‐permeable membrane (dialysis tubing) and sucrose will create an osmotic environment similar to that of a cell. Using different concentrations of sucrose (which is unable to cross the membrane) will allow us to examine the net movement of water across the membrane. INTRODUCTION A major determinant of diffusion in a biological system is membrane

respiration is defined as an enzyme mediated process in which organic compounds such as glucose is broken down into simpler products with the release of energy (Duka‚ Diaz and Villa‚ 2009). It is a series of metabolic processes and oxidation-reduction reactions. Oxidation of substrates‚ such as glucose‚ is a fundamental part of cellular respiration (Mader‚ 2009). As a catabolic process‚ it may or may not require the presence of oxygen. The process that requires oxygen is called aerobic respiration while

enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the concentration of protease in the solution increases so it will take less time for the reaction to take place . This is because the rate of an

Chemical Equation Chemical Reaction: C10H8+ 12 O2 → CO2 + 4H2 O (Naphthalene) Combustion Introduction of the Product: Naphthalene is an organic compound with formula C10H8. It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon‚ and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass. As an aromatic hydrocarbon‚ naphthalene’s structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings. It is best known as the

IS Concentration and Career Analysis Introduction Coming from a family that owns a small business‚ I decided to pursue a degree in business administration with concentration in management and marketing. By the time I graduated from college‚ I realized how important it is to implement information technology into a small business like ours. Our competitors have created online shopping websites which result in increasing sales and expanding territories. It would be cost insufficient for us to hire

Emily Rasichanh Essay 4 Professor Marshall November 9th‚ 2012 How was it like at Auschwitz’s Concentration Camp? “Why is it that nobody cries out‚ nobody spits in their faces‚ nobody jumps at their throats? We doff our caps to the S.S. men returning from the little wood; if our name is called we obediently go with them to die‚ and—we do nothing. We starve‚ we are drenched by rain‚ and we are torn from our families. What is this mystery? This strange power of one man over another? This

Coralde Institute of Chemistry‚ University of the Philippines‚ Diliman‚ Quezon City 1101 Philippines Results and Discussion A combustion reaction is a reaction that liberates heat and light. Magnesium is a stable element and reacts violently with evolution of much heat and light. The reason the magnesium burned in carbon dioxide was because it combined with the oxygen in the CO2 leaving elemental carbon behind. CO2(g) C(S) + O2(g)

World War II brought up many ethical issues. One of these was the ethical treatment of prisoners. As the Allied forces pushed into Nazi territory and came upon the concentration camps‚ the true horrors of World War II were seen. Dachau Concentration Camp in Southeast Germany‚ was the first of the concentration camps built by the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ‚ commonly referred to as the Nazi party. At the camp‚ the prisoners were forced to do hard labor and were unjustly executed

There are two types of chemical reaction that occur one goes only in one direction and the other one is reversible. A reversible reaction is when a products starts to form the backward reaction starts where the products turns back to reactant molecules. When the rate of forward and backward reaction is already equal and the concentrations of the reactants and products no longer change with time we can say that chemical equilibrium is already achieved. A reaction is said to be at equilibrium when
