INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

concentration on the rate of osmosis across a potato’s cell membrane submerged for 94 hours in the solutation. Background Information: Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules across a partially permeable membrane. They move from a region of low concentration (hypotonic) to a region of high concentration (hypertonic). The rate of osmosis across a eukaryotic cell membrane can be affected by different factors; including temperature‚ concentration gradient‚ water potential and the surface area for osmosis

Osmosis Osmosis is a special example of diffusion. It is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution – down the water potential gradient) Note: diffusion and osmosis are both passive‚ i.e. energy from ATP is not used. A partially permeable membrane is a barrier that permits the passage of some substances but not others; it allows the passage of the solvent molecules but not some of the larger solute molecules. Cell

allows certain molecules or ions to get in or to get out of the cell. There are three types of movement of particals across the cell: diffusion(and also facilitated diffusion)‚ osmosis and active transport. Diffusion and osmosis are passive movements and they don’t require any energy. Active transport requires ATP energy. OSMOSIS is the passive movement of water molecules across a partially permeable (semipermeable) membrane‚ from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration

five factors that effect enzyme activity. They are: ·Temperature ·pH ·Inhibitors ·Substrate Concentration ·Enzyme Concentration The factor I am changing is surface area of potato containing Catalase. By increasing the surface area of the potato‚ you make more Catalase molecules be exposed to hydrogen peroxide. This will result in the rate of reaction increasing because it increases the chance of more successful collisions between the enzyme and the substrate. Catalase is an enzyme found in food

piece must be kept the same in each experiment primarily because they affect the surface area of the piece‚ and varying surface area could have a great effect on the rate of osmosis. This is because in an experiment where the potato chip has a large surface area‚ there is a larger area of partially permeable membrane and therefore more opportunity for water particles to pass through. I will keep the surface area the same by keeping the mass and length of the potato piece the same in

1. SURFACE RUNOFF INTRODUCTION: Runoff means the draining or flowing off of precipitation from a catchment area through a surface channel enters into a stream channel. It is convenient to visualize three main routes of travel; overland flow (air hujan limpahanpermukaan)‚ interflow‚ and ground water flow (air dari punca bawah tanah). 1 Runoff results from rainfall occurrence in a hydrologic catchment. Rainfall-runoff relations are Interflow/subsurface and base flow/groundwater flow
