trying to find out what the concentration of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1. Temperature 2. Surface area of potato

Effects on Survivors of Concentration Camps Many people during the 1940s were put into concentration camps‚ and after getting out‚ if they did get out‚ suffered many problems. The stress and torment these people went through was pure murder (Nelken). The humans put into these concentration camps were from many different races‚ and also included the mentally retarded‚ severely handicapped‚ insane‚ and very sick people (Austin). Survivors of concentration camps faced psychological‚ spiritual‚ physical

bloomberg beta interpretation Beta definition A measure of an asset’s risk in relation to the market (for example‚ the S&P500) or to an alternative benchmark or factors. Roughly speaking‚ a security with a beta of 1.5‚ say‚ will move 50% more than the market. So if the market goes up by 20% the security’s price will go up by 30%. According to asset pricing theory‚ beta represents that part of the risk of the security called systematic risk that cannot be diversified away. When using beta‚ there are

Beta Management Group is a small investment management company based in Boston‚ which was founded by Ms. Sarah Wolfe (The founder and CEO of the Beta Management Group) in 1988. Ms. Wolfe follows a market timing investment strategy based on two portfolios; the Vanguard index and money market instruments. The goals of Beta Management were to enhance returns but reduce risks for clients via market timing. Ms. Wolfe would keep the vast majority of Beta’s funds in no-load‚ low-expense index funds; and

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

project is to demonstrate how water temperature affects the dissolving of sugar in liquid. Everything in our universe is made up of particles which are in constant motion. In a solid state particles move the slowest while in a liquid state particles move the fastest. Under the right conditions‚ solid particles (the solute) when mixed in liquid (the solvent) can form a solution. This occurrence is called dissolving. I wanted to answer the question; does the temperature of water affect the speed at which

test for the effects of temperature on catalase activity. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and help complex reactions to occur everywhere in life. Enzymes affect a chemical reaction by acting as a catalyst‚ which is to say‚ it speeds up the reaction. However‚ extreme ph and temperature hinders enzyme function. Optimal activity of an enzyme is the optimal environment that an enzyme requires to function‚ which means having the optimum ph and temperature to catalyze a

Stress and Cellular Membranes Bio Lab SBI 4U1 Due: Sept 24th‚ 2010 For: Ms. Barton By: Ameema Saeed Introduction: (See attached lab) Purpose: (See attached lab) Hypotheses: Tap water will cause no damage to the membranes. The extreme temperatures of the water cooled to 0°C‚ and heated to 94-100°C will greatly damage the membranes. Extreme heat will be more damaging than extreme cold. The more concentrated the solvent‚ the more damage it will cause to the membranes‚ therefore the solvent
