DETERMINATION OF THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO TUBER CELLS. Method. Five sucrose solutions with varying molarity and one control containing distilled water were prepared and poured into test tubes. The potato discs were dried‚ weighed and added to the test tubes. The discs were then weighed again after a period of 24 hours. The percentage change in mass was then calculated. Apparatus.  Specimen tubes with stoppers x6  1cm3 diameter cork borer  razor

Cell Structure Vocabulary Cell Membrane → the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell. Cell Wall → a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants‚ it consists mainly of cellulose. Cellular Respiration → A series of metabolic processes that take place within a cell in which biochemical energy is harvested from organic substance (e.g. glucose) and stored as energy carriers

Various types of Fuel Cells and their working By : Divykant Vishwakarma 03996404910 EEE 2nd shift S.No. 14 Fuel Cell A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent. Hydrogen is the most common fuel‚ but hydrocarbons such as natural gas and alcohols like methanol are sometimes used. Fuel cells are different from batteries in that they require a constant source of fuel and oxygen/air

1. INTRODUCTION A solar cell is a device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight‚ while the term photovoltaic cell is used when the light source is unspecified.”Photovoltaics” the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use.

- The major functions of the cell is concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average‚ there are about 125 million rod cells in the human retina. Rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision. Rod cells do not process fine details or color differences‚ but are highly sensitive to light. A single flash of light is all that is require to produce a response from a rod cell. Rod cells function as specialized neurons that convert visual stimuli in

Henrietta’s Cells. It is unfortunate that the Lacks family did not know that research was being done on Henrietta’s cells‚ which made the family feel like they were betrayed by doctors at the Johns Hopkins Hospital‚ but it was a common practice of doctors in the 1950s and consent was not required for research as it is today. Also‚ it is unfair that Samuel Reader and Monroe Vincent‚ the founders of Microbiological associates‚ a cell distribution company‚ made millions off of selling HeLa cells. However

mammals. 3) Slide 3: Why is the nucleus of the cell in slide 3 so large? In other words‚ what is this cell doing that requires that its nucleus be so large? (Please be specific). In eukaryotic cell in slide #3 has organelles including a nucleus containing DNA and mitochondria energy organelles .Compared to the prokaryotic cell which has the DNA in the cytoplasm smaller and simpler and doesn’t contain a nucleus or other organelles‚ it does have cell membrane. Bacteria and Archea are single celled

Cell Reproduction Dr. Susan Kennedy Introduction to Biology January 28‚ 2012 Introduction Cellular reproduction is the process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield two cells with similar‚ if not duplicate contents. Life as we know it depends on the ability of cells to store‚ retrieve and translate the genetic instructions required to make and maintain a living organism. In this assignment‚ I will discuss two different types of cell reproduction

Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? There are too many differences between live in a big city and a small city. So we have to choice our own position. If you like calm condition‚ small cities are suits you. Although‚ if you want to improve yourself‚ big cities are the most important place to learn so many things will need your future life. In life‚ people’s the best thing is of course

Cell phones has affected the way we socialize these days; if you notice people are starting to text their friends and family instead if actually speaking verbally. You go out to dinner and look around and see people out with family but there is no conversations going on at the table mostly just huh… yeah… mmhm..‚ because they are busy texting someone not there on their phones. I feel human communicant is slowly disappearing among friends and family. You even see parent’s texting their kids when in
