    by using the application of membrane have become highly demand in various industries. In this newly separation process ‚ the membrane function as a semi-permeable barrier and the separation process occur by the membrane controlling the rate of movement of various molecules between two liquid phases ‚ two gas phases or a mixture of a gas phase and liquid phase. In industries‚ many companies have high demand on both quality and quantity of water for production. Membrane process can be used to separate

    Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

    Part 1 Part 1 of the experiment investigated the effect of different temperatures on beetroot cell membranes (a type of plant cell). Through this experiment‚ the process of diffusion and osmosis was in action. Various temperatures ranging from low temperatures to high temperatures such as -5⁰C‚ 5⁰C‚ 30⁰C‚ 50⁰C and 80⁰C were used to investigate the temperature effects on beetroot cell membranes. The hypothesis predicted that the higher the temperature the darker the beetroot substance and the lower

    P5 – Describe the Structure and Function of the Cardiovascular System Changes in Stroke Volume Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped out the left ventricle‚ every beat your heart makes. It can differ from your resting heart beat and your heart beat when exercising. Normally‚ when exercising‚ your heart rate increases meaning the stroke volume also increases. The blood pumped by the left ventricle is oxygenated‚ and will deliver oxygen to the muscle. The more blood injected in a heartbeat means

    Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The

    The Cell membrane surrounds all living cells and is the most important organelle‚ there is also a similar plasma membrane that surrounds all the organelles except for the ribosome. The membrane controls how and what substances can move in and out of the cell/organelle The structure of the membrane is often referred to as the “Fluid Mosaic Model”; this is because of the way it is structured It is composed of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates‚ which are arranged in a fluid

    “The structures of body systems are determined by their functions”. Discuss this statement‚ focussing on the Circulatory System. You should include diagrams and relevant examples in your essay. In order to survive it is necessary for every cell in the body to exchange materials as not all cells are in contact with the external environment; we rely on the circulatory system to do this which is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels and blood. The heart consists of four chambers two atria and two ventricles
