Osmosis Lab: Potatoes and Elodea Background Information: Cells have a need to regulate their internal environment. They need to be able to this because cells often find themselves in environments where the concentration of dissolved solids outside the cell is different from the number of dissolved solids inside the cell. Since the solids can not move across the membrane‚ the cell responds by moving water either into or out of the cell in an attempt to balance the number dissolved particles.

STEM CELL RESEARCH AND THERAPYAND ITS IMPACTS ON SOCIETY Abstract There are several types of stem cells being used in stem cell research and therapy today. They are embryonic‚ adult and induced pluripotent stem cells. Each will be discussed further. This topic has stirred much moral‚ ethical and political debate as whether cells from fetuses should be used in this research. This impacts governmental policies on laws and funding. Another issue that must be analyzed is the

EXPLORING THE EGG CELL By: Christina Vu SNC2D3 Mr.Ram FUNCTION OF THE EGG CELL: The egg cell is the female gamete used for sexual reproduction. The egg cell is responsible for providing half of the genetic material required for reproduction. When the egg cell joins with the sperm cell.... The egg cell is large and bulky structure which allows the sperm cell to get in easily. WHAT ORGANELLES DOES AN EGG CELL HAVE AND THEIR FUNCTION? Mitochondria: Produces energy for the cell by a process called

Chemical Composition of Cells Testing for Proteins: The independent variable is the biuret reagent. The dependent variable is the solutions being used as follows; distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and starch solution. If the protein is present‚ then the biuret will change to a violet color. Authors: Eliza Koundry and Jody Cote Eliza was in charge of adding equal amounts of biuret reagent to the distilled water‚ albumin solution‚ and the starch solution. Jody was

body‚ there are billions of cells that are essential to living – these are called nerve cells. Nerve cells‚ also known as neurons‚ “are the basic information processing structures” (Stufflebeam). There are about 100 billion of these neurons in our nervous system and are the most essential cell in it. Located in brain as well as the spinal‚ there are different types of nerve cells; including: sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ and interneuron (Boeree). The neuron is a cell that is structured similarly

Eukaryotic cells contain its DNA within its nucleus‚ while prokaryotic cells keep it within the nucleoid. Prokaryotic cells are also more minute than the eukaryotic cells. Also although they both contain ribosomes‚ they are composed differently. 3. The central vacuole (takes in water and chemicals)‚ cell wall (allows the plant to be strong enough

How Greasy Are Your Potato Chips? Dr. Camille Passalacqua January 31‚ 2014 Potato Chips 1 Introduction When people eat a bag of potato chips they do not usually look to see how many calories are in each bag. Potato chips come in a variety of flavors‚ including: barbecue‚ sour cream and onion‚ and salt and vinegar. According to Harvard University analysis the average person eats about 6 lbs of potato chips a year. The purpose of this experiment was to inform readers

The prokaryotic cell precedes any forms of Bacteria‚ Archaea‚ and eventually Eukaryotes by approximately two billion years. This cell was the original life form on the planet and represents the smallest and least complex of all organisms. Through the process of mutation and adaptation they were able to survive to evolve into our modern day Bacteria‚ Archaea‚ Fungi and Protists. These post organisms have benefited from their early ancestor‚ by way of Endosymbiosis. Intricate protest and fungi are

Cell Fusion Introduction: The fusion of cells is a fundamental biological event that is essential for a variety of developmental and homeostatic processes. The importance of cell-cell fusion during development and disease is displayed in a variety of biological processes including‚ but not limited to‚ fertilization‚ development of tissues‚ the immune response‚ and aspects of tissue regeneration due to stem cells (Chen and Olson‚ 2005). Fertilization‚ which is the fusion of sperm and egg‚

The story of potato chips dates back to late 1850s‚ when a New York chef presented deep fried crisp potato chips to the railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. Although the invention was made out of curiosity‚ it became an instant hit after Vanderbilt gave it an approval. Till date‚ potato chips are one of the most favorite snacks among many Americans. To keep up with the healthy trend at present‚ many chips makers now have baked alternatives to traditional chips. Here are few choices of our top chips
