Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

Epidermis Cells Aim: To see if rhubarb changes when it is placed in solutions of different concentrations. Introduction: "Plasmolysis in Rhubarb Epidermis Cells" is an experiment to see whether or not rhubarb changed its cell structure when placed within different types or solutions. "A single layer of plant cell is placed on a micrscope slide and either distilled water or 5% NaCl solution is added to the cells. Osmosis will occur resulting in either turgid cells or plasmolysed cells." (www

Erica Osorio 5057497 Christian Roque and Rogerlio The Mechanisms by which E.Coli Cells Developed Immunities toward Ampicillin due to Plasmid and DNA Consumption U34 Abstract During the ampicillin experiment the ability to transform cells to make them adaptable to their environment was studied. The E.coli bacterial cell was used in order to observe how its DNA was able to change and develop immunity towards ampicillin. In order for this change to occur the use of several

bottom with the root cap‚ then the zone of cell division next is the zone of cell elongation‚ and at the top of the root is the zone of differentiation. To figure out what section of the root has the highest number of cells in mitosis we did an experiment where we found out cells that are closer to the root tip are more likely to be doing mitosis than the cells that are further away from the root tip. Through the experiment‚ we looked at the zone of cell division‚ which is

Purpose: Examine the role of the cell membrane in the cell by disrupting its function using temperature (Biology 107 Laboratory Manual 2014). This will improve the general understanding of optimal growing temperatures and the breakdown of the cell membrane Procedure: Betacyanin solution of a known concentration was diluted to create a dilution series‚ then placed in a spectrophotometer set to 525 nm. The absorbance of the dilution was used to create a standard curve for betacyanin. Discs of living

Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The

DETAILED DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUKARYOTIC AND PROKARYOTIC CELLS Cells are divided into two categories namely the Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. These two have varying differences between them. Speaking in simple cell biology words‚ prokaryotes are primitive‚ simple organisms that lack membranous cell organelles. The opposite of this are eukaryotes‚ which are advanced and complex organisms having membrane bound cell organelles. Seemingly simple in structure and markedly different from eukaryote and

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

In prokaryotes‚ it’s easier to make DNA replication because of the lack of a nucleus‚ but to do DNA replication in a eukaryotic cell is more difficult. DNA of an eukaryotic cell is in chromatin form to fit into the small nucleus for the replication to occur‚ first the DNA should open. This is because it is harder for eukaryotes to carry out DNA synthesis. Replication of DNA in a prokaryote is different from a eukaryote. In a prokaryote they have a single origin where the replication process starts
