Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

Purpose: To observe epithelial tissue by using a microscope to compare prepared slides. Introduction: Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialized to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue can be divided into two groups depending on the number of layers of which it is composes. Epithelial tissue which is only one cell thick is known as

CHM 3411 – Problem Set 6 Due date: Wednesday‚ March 23rd. Do all of the following problems. Show your work. 1) Consider the cyclic molecule C8H8‚ the eight carbon analogue to benzene. a) Write the secular detrerminant corresponding to the pi-bonding in C8H8. b) Using the secular determinant‚ the following energies are found for the pi-bonding molecular orbitals: 1 = + 2 2 = + 1.41 (two states) 3 = (two states) 4 = - 1.41 (two states) 5 = - 2 Give the electron

The Effect of Nicotine on the Heart Rate of the Lumbriculus Variegatus Introduction: Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab‚ the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity‚ especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab‚ we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control.

Chemistry lab report Experiment 32 Voltaic Cell Measurements Dinmukhamed Yeraly Partner Azamat Bashabayev General Chemistry II lab Instructor Rostislav Bukasov Nazarbayev University Introduction Most of the chemical reactions can be classified as redox reactions‚ which include two half reactions‚ oxidation and reduction respectively. To measure the tendency for a readox reaction to occur‚ special apparatus called voltaic cell can be used. It is made by connecting a voltmeter between

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Background The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound‚ which we will be doing in this particular experiment. Purpose Measure the melting points of pure benzoic acid and pure mandelic acid. Determine the eutectic composition

Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

Homeostasis Lab: The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Purpose: To discover the effect that various levels of exercise have on specific body parameters. Hypothesis: If a subject walks up and down a flight of stairs for eight minutes‚ then they start to sweat more‚ their heart rate‚ body temperature‚ and breathing rate will increase‚ and there will be a change in their skin color on their arms and face‚ because the body will be trying to maintain homeostasis. Materials: You will
