Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and

It’s important to maintain a correct balance in the body and avoid dehydration or over-hydration. The hypothalamus of the brain monitors the body’s fluid salt concentration and responds with a signal to take in fluid when water levels are low or salt concentration is high. The body produces two hormones‚ antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone‚ to help maintain hydration. Antidiuretic hormone is released by the pituitary gland in the brain to signal the kidneys to retain water. When ADH causes
