I lived on a potato farm in Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. It was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. This famine started in September of 1845 and ended in 1852. During this time‚ life in Ireland was extremely difficult. We suffered from much starvation and disease. Approximately one million of us died and another million emigrated to other countries‚ especially America. The population of the country dropped 20 to 25%. The Great Famine began mysteriously. My family

Reverse Osmosis For Wastewater Recycling Reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes‚ such as agricultural and landscape irrigation‚ industrial processes‚ toilet flushing‚ or groundwater basin replenishment‚ is growing in response to environmental and economic concerns. One of the key factors involved in recycling wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent for another use is the need to reduce total dissolved solids (TDS). This is often done by using a reverse osmosis (RO) system‚ which

reaction will take place because there will be more hydrochloric acid particles to collide with the marble chip particles therefore resulting in a quicker reaction. The lower the concentration‚ the weaker the reaction will be as there will be fewer particles so less chance of a collision and a lower rate of reaction. Equipment: Conical flask – to hold the hydrochloric acid and marble chips Boiling tube – to hold and indicate whether or not carbon dioxide has been formed Delivery tube – to allow

coursework I will investigate about enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying kinetic energy

The process of osmosis and its importance to living organisms Osmosis is the process by which there is a net movement of water through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential. Within a cell‚ osmosis has the following effect. If the water potential of the cell is lower than that around the cell water will move across a concentration gradient into the cell. If this is the case‚ the increase in water in the cell‚ may cause the cell to swell

Effect of Osmosis on Egg Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to test the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic environments on the weight of a shell-less egg. We tested the weight of the egg after thirty minutes in water as well as corn syrup. I hypothesized that when the egg was placed in water‚ it would swell and gain weight because it was in a hypotonic environment. That hypothesis was correct as the egg grew slightly and the weight when up. I also hypothesised that when the egg

Introduction A computerized simulation experiment will be conducted in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is
