Osmosis Investigation We are trying to find out what the concentration of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1. Temperature

Describe the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the functions of the main cell components. A typical animal cell is seen as a tiny‚ three dimensional sac which is in fact made up of many components‚ each as important as the other. The microstructure of an animal cell was in fact uncovered mainly through the use of both cell fractionation and electron microscopy. Each main component has its own‚ individual function which helps a cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The components that

1. Standarization of NaOH with Potassium Hydrogenphthalate (KHC8H404) The hygroscopic nature of NaOH requires its solution to be standardized with a stable primary standard such as potassium hydrogen phthalate. The exact molar concentration of NaOH solution can then be accurately determined. 1.1) Prepare the stock NaOH solution by dissolving about 4 g of NaOH pellet in 100 mL of deionized water. Note that NaOH is a hazardous chemical which is corrosive to skin and irritant to eye‚ be cautious and

find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration is called

conclusion is that the higher salt concentration in the solution the greater the decrease in mass of the potato will be‚ the graph I have drawn supports my conclusion. The 10% salt concentration shows that on average the potato loses 2.6% of its overall mass. 20% salt concentration shows a further decrease in mass this time it is an average of 13% overall mass decrease. 30% salt concentration shows an average decrease of 18.8% in overall mass. The 0% salt concentration actually shows a mass increase

stereotyping‚ racists’. I also see people of all colors getting jobs everywhere and work places being very diverse‚ so affirmative action has accomplished what it set out to do. Now all its doing is discriminating against the majority. Another reason was ‘Students starting at a disadvantage need a boost” (balancedpolitics.org). No‚ that is what scholarships are for not affirmative action. Students so as to begin at a disadvantage may perhaps need to work harder to keep up among the competition‚ not

What is K-12? According to the K to 12 Deped Primer (2011)‚ “K-12 means “Kindergarten and the 12 years of elementary and secondary education.” Kindergarten points to the 5-year old child who undertakes the standardized curriculum for preschoolers. Elementary education refers to 6 years of primary school (Grades 1-6) while secondary education means four years of junior high school (Grades 7-10 or HS Year 1-4). In addition to this‚ two years are now allotted for senior high school (Grades 11-12 or

OF CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE AND SDS CONCENTRATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF BEETROOT CELL MEMBRANES. Introduction Cellular Membranes or cell membranes are biological membranes that separate the interior of a cell from the outside environment. Cell membranes are selectively permeable to ions and some molecules and control the movement of substances in and out of the cell. (Danyk‚ 2013/14) Cell membranes separate and organize chemicals and reactions within cells by allowing selective passage of materials

The Effect of Salt Concentration on Osmosis in Potato Cells We should first explain what Osmosis is. It’s a passage of water from a region of high water concentration through membrane to a region of low water. Semi membrane is a very thin layer of material‚ which allows some things to pass through them but prevent other things from passing through. The cells allow small molecules like Oxygen‚ water‚ Carbon Dioxide‚ Ammonia. But will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose‚ Starch‚ or protein‚ etc
