    The Observation of organism in a drop of pond water (Paramecium) under LPO and HPO Compound Microscope Doreenda A. Sabao BS Biology I-A .Lab 1 August 01‚ 2013 INTODUCTION A pond is a body of freshwater smaller than a lake. Ponds are naturally formed by a depression in the ground filling and retaining water. Streams or spring water is usually fed into these bodies. They can also be man-made ponds which can be created by damming a stream‚ digging a hole. Ponds are usually

    Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent across a selectively permeable membrane that occurs in response to differences in solute concentrations (Allen and Harper 2014).Osmosis can fall under the category of passive transport which does not require energy. With osmosis being a type of diffusion it is viewed as molecules moving from a high concentration to a low concentration. To further explain if there is a low water concentration‚ high amounts of solutes will be present. Water will most likely move

    : Osmosis in Quail’s Eggs Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sodium Chloride (NaCl) on the mass of the de-shelled quail’s eggs? Introduction Osmosis is an example of passive transport. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules‚ down its concentration gradient‚ from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (high solute concentration) through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis doesn’t

    Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch

    actuality and egg itself is a cell. An egg has several main parts‚ including the egg shell (that acts as the cell membrane)‚ the egg yolk and the egg white. There’s also a tiny white mass that is very important‚ it’s called the ovum‚ and it is the living part of the cell. If a hen lays an egg without mating with a cock then the ovum will not develop. If the hen does mate‚ then the egg will be fertile and it develops into a little chick. The egg being worked with in this experiment is not fertile (Lawrence

    • 17 Pages

    INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules 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 a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium

    Osmosis Experiment Subject: Professor Egg-avier Duration: 3 weeks (Oct 2nd – Oct 16th) Week 1 On October 2nd my group was giving a raw egg (weighing 58.8 grams) and placed it into a clear mason jar with 200mL of vinegar. The ph levels of our vinegar equaled a 2 which tells us that vinegar is a fairly acidic liquid. Once submerged in the vinegar‚ little bubbles began to appear around the egg’s shell. We believed this to be carbon dioxide escaping from the shell. We left our egg to sit in the

    Introduction Regulating the water in living organisms is very important. Throughout the body‚ water transports nutrients and removes excretory products. The human’s total body weight is about sixty to seventy percent water (age‚ gender and weight can be a factor in this statistic along with many others). Furthermore‚ water is very crucial to living organisms‚ because it maintains the body temperature and metabolizes body fat. If your body doesn’t receive enough water‚ it will take water from other
