I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

Blood Cells Leukocytes (WBC’s) Leukocytes also known as white blood cells (WBCs) are cells which play a defensive roll in the body against injury and infection. They migrate towards tissues where they are needed and become functional performing various activities. WBCs can be divided into 2 groups: Polymorphonuclear granulocytes and mononuclear agranulocytes. Both types are spherical while suspended in blood plasma but when they invade tissues after leaving the blood vessels they become amoeboid

Chirag Patel Biology 157 Determining the Effect of Varying Substrate Concentration Question: How does concentration of potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered

Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

The Effect of Concentration Gradient on Osmosis Abstract: Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration‚ usually across a membrane (Thorpe 2013). Tonicity is the ability of a solution surrounding a cell to gain or lose water (Reece 2011). There are many factors that affect the rate of osmosis. These include temperature‚ surface area‚ difference in water potential‚ pressure‚ light and dark and most importantly what we will be talking

Substrate concentration and yeast catalase Aim: To see how the substrate concentration in hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction using yeast catalase. Introduction: An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. Enzymes are protein molecules found in living organisms and in this case I will use a yeast catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by-product of metabolism‚ so it is very

The experimental samples for the pH concentration experiment were put together by using a 10ml-graduated cylinder to obtain 4ml of each pH buffer to insert into cuvettes‚ a micropipette was then used to obtain 0.5ml of catechol and 0.5ml of the catechol oxidase. The pH buffer was made first to avoid any denaturation of the catechol oxidase. Our positive control for this experiment was pH 7 because that is the pH level of most cell membranes in the cytoplasm (Whitson‚ 2016.) Our negative controls
