Hypothesis - If the glucose and starch solution stays within the beaker of water for a longer period of time‚ then more water will travel through the selectively permeable membrane due to the effects of diffusion on the solution. If the level of sucrose within the solution increases‚ then the effects of osmosis will cause the change in mass to also increase due to higher concentrations of sucrose and the increased net movement of the water molecules within the solution. Analysis - When the glucose

Introduction: Diffusion and osmosis are passive processes of transport. Passive transport involves no disbursement of energy by the cell. Diffusion movement is from high concentration to low concentration‚ which the driving force for this type of movement is kinetic energy particles themselves. Which crystal (Methylene blue‚ solid or Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-purple) will move further than the other due to the driving force (kinetic energy)? My prediction is that Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-

enzyme’s activity are temperature and pH‚ and each enzyme works best at a particular temperature and pH. The purpose of this enzyme kinetic experiment was to observe the effect of temperature and pH on the reaction of barley alpha-amylase enzyme with starch substrate and establish the optimum temperature and pH for this reaction. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction of alpha-amylase and starch was predicted to be a temperature of 50°C and a pH of 5. The optimum temperature and pH for the reaction

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution

This occurs because these forests are exposed to cold and warm air‚ which makes them encounter all four seasons. Temperatures in the deciduous are estimated to be up to 50°. They also have precipitation of 30 to 60 inches a year. One of the traits these trees have is thick bark that protects them from cold or really hot weather. Deciduous forests can be found everywhere

Investigating the effect of temperature on the action of a protease enzyme on exposed developed film Plan Aim: The aim of the experiment is to find out what effect temperature has on the action of a protease enzyme on exposed developed film. Enzymes are biological catalysts. They are made in livings things built up by amino acids to make protein. Enzymes are able to speed up reactions and can repeat reactions. There are various factors that affect the activity of enzymes they are: "Y Temperature "Y pH

surroundings‚ it tries to make concentration of solution inside and outside itself equal. However‚ the solutes are too big to pass the cell membranes without the help of channel proteins‚ or transport proteins. Water may freely pass through the membrane by osmosis‚ which requires no energy. Thus‚ the cell starts to take in‚ or release‚ water until it is isotionic to its

Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

thermoregulation Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable environment inside the body. For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into
