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 there was a high water potential‚ into the beetroot. The percentage increase in the mass of beetroot increased as the

Questions 1. Given that cell A has significantly more nongated K+ channels than cell B‚ which cell has the larger resting membrane potential? Explain. If the permeability to K is higher in A than in B‚ then the resting membrane potential (rmp) will be closer to the equilibrium potential in cell A‚ which means the rmp will be more negative in cell A than in cell B; or in other words‚ the potential difference will be LARGER in cell A. 2. Predict the effect of a reduced extracellular concentration

Aim: Investigate the effect of different temperatures and chemicals including various pH levels‚ alcohol and detergent on the cell membrane structure as well as function. Hypothesis: Increasing the temperature and pH levels which the beetroot membrane cells are exposed to will increase the amount of dye that passes out of the membrane. Materials: Part A • Bunsen Burner‚ Tripod and a Wire Gauze • 250mL Beaker • A 100° thermometer • Matches • 10mL measuring cylinder • Sticky labels and a Pen

Experiment 5 Title: Membrane Permeability Objectives: 1. Define solvent‚ solute‚ solution‚ selectively permeable‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ concentration gradient‚ equilibrium‚ turgid‚ plasmolyzed‚ plasmolysis‚ turgor pressure‚ tonicity‚ hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ hypotonic; 2. Describe the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic solutions on Elodea leaf cells and onion scale leafs. Introduction: Membrane permeability is a quality of a cell’s plasma membrane that allows substances to pass in
Premium Osmosis Cell Cell wall
The cell wall maintains the integrity of the cell. The cell wall helps protect the cell against the environmental changes it it allows most molecules to pass through it. This layer is composed of molecules called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing

of the cell membrane with the correct terms integral proteins‚ channel proteins and bilipid construction. Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane. Peripheral proteins are bound to the inner or outer surface of the membrane and are

investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as

In this laboratory experiment is stating that organic lipids have the ability to dissolve lipids membranes‚ and in this exercise acetone would be the main source to be used to have the reaction of dissolving the lipids inside the tubes. This exercise was to be able to observe how the chemicals reacted in rare temperatures such in heat and in cold weather‚ also this type of changes can create a new color either making the color lighter or darker. The reaction of a light color would be that it did

Salt and Its Uses As we know‚ salt is the most useful resource found on earth. In Ancient Rome‚ salt was used as part of the salary to the soldiers. From this‚ we can see that salt was as valuable as gold in the past. In our daily life‚ besides making nutritious food more palatable‚ salt is very useful in making bakery products‚ canned and frozen foods. Salt is a good preservative that retards the growth of micro-organisms to make food storage possible for a long period of timie

Bath Salts Since synthetic drugs have become a common theme in the news I wanted to look more into “bath salts” otherwise known as synthetic cathinones. The questions I was pondering were: what exactly do these “bath salts” do‚ how is this latest development in drug abuse affecting the brain and how can you treat someone on these dangerous chemicals? I used Google Scholar to research my topic. http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=Minnesota+Bath+Salts&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C24&as_sdtp=
