membrane is known as osmosis. The difference in the concentrations of solutes on either side of the membrane results in the establishment of an osmotic pressure. Water follows the direction of solutes‚ this means that in the event where there are more solutes outside the cell than there are inside the cell‚ water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside in order to establish water balance. When a cell is placed in a solution containing more solutes than present in the cell‚ the solution is

Diffusion is the molecular net movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For instance‚ when a person is smoking‚ the smoke diffuses into the air. The molecules in the smoke‚ released from the cigarette‚ travel through the air. Here is how it occurs. When molecules are close enough‚ they collide with each other‚ their kinetic energy changes. Due to the direct relationship between diffusion and molecular kinetic energy‚ the molecules move away from the point of the collision as

Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the

From the results obtained and the bar graph plotted‚ it could be seen that when there was a high concentration of sugar the mass of beetroot decreased. This happened because water moved from the inside of the beetroot‚ where there was a high water potential into the sugar solution‚ which had a lower water potential. In the other four beakers where the concentration of sugar solution was less‚ the mass of the beetroot increased. This happened because water moved from the dilute sugar solution where

enough water for everyone to have their fair share and more. Yet this sadly is not the case‚ as the majority of the water on Earth is unsuitable to drink due to the fact that it is tainted with a numerous amount of contaminants‚ such as bacteria and salt. The amount of safe drinking water is decreasing more and more each year and will soon become one of the more scarce resources on the planet. Over the years‚ many different people all over the world have tried to create and refine a water purification

The effect of increasing substrate concentration on rate of an enzyme reaction. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower a reactions activation energy making possible many of the reactions needed for life to exist. Enzymes have a high specificity which have been explained by many theories such as Fischer’s lock and key. Currently the most widely accepted theory is the induced fit hypothesis proposed by Koshland in 1958. This hypothesis solves some of the problems with the Lock and key theory

Objective: To study osmosis in living plant tissue. Biological principles: Water potential is the tendency for water molecules to enter or leave a system by osmosis through a differentially permeable membrane‚ while osmosis is the process in which water molecules move passively from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a differentially permeable membrane. Therefore‚ potato cells‚ with their differentially permeable membrane‚ are selected as the medium

Experiment: Turgor in Potato Tissue 1. We labelled three test tubes A‚ B‚ C‚ D and added initials of people in our group. 2. Used a syringe or graduated pipette to put 20 cm3water in tube A and 10 cm3 in tube B. 3. Put 20 cm3 of 17% solution in tube C and 10 cm3 in tube B; put 20 cm3 pure sucrose solutions in tube D. 4. Working on the dissecting board I cut the ends off large potato. I was careful with the knife and cut it onto the dissecting board away from myself. 5. Used a cork

The effect of different temperature on the cell respiration. Introduction： Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP‚and then release waste products. The process of cell respiration can take place in the presence or absence of oxygen. In either case‚the first stage of cell respiration is glycolysis.The effect of temperature on cell respiration mainly depends on the effect of temperature on of enzyme activity.Generally speaking in a certain

Topic: “The effect of cell phone use on need for affiliation.” Hypothesis: Teenagers who use cell phones‚ use them to feel that they are affiliated with their social groups at all times. These teenagers use their cell phones as a convenient way to fulfill their need for affiliation‚ therefore taking the place of acquainting in person. Experimental Design: An experiment to prove my hypothesis could be to evaluate a control group and experimental group based on how many times they hang out with their
