The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different

Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

Beet Cell Lab Purpose: The purpose of this Lab was to see how much pressure or stress the beet tissue would hold. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the higher % of the solvent that the higher the colour intensity will be shown on the ph colour scale. The lower the solvent then the less colour shown. Materials: *Test Tubes (4) *Cork Borer *Beets *Water *1% Acetone *50% Acetone *1% Methanol *50% Methanol Procedure: *Cut 4 uniform cylinders of beet using a cork borer with a 5-mm
