Diffusion across Biological Membranes: A simulation Introduction Diffusion is the process by which collisions between molecules cause to spread apart. This movement is described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Hence‚ diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed. This is to ensure that molecules have reached a state of equilibrium. Diffusion occurs spontaneously‚ no energy is involved. In cells‚ Diffusion occurs through

Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and

Plasma membranes are selectively permeable. The purpose of this experiment is to reveal how a form of diffusion in a semipermeable membrane works by creating a real life simulation of a semipermeable plasma membrane. This is done by building an imitation of a caterpillar’s digestive tract using dialysis tubing and glassware. The first material in this experiment is a small beaker representing the head and crop of the caterpillar. This beaker is filled with both starch and the enzyme α-amylase. This

Membrane Behavior Lab Abstract: Introduction: The permeability of a cell to solutes in an aqueous medium depends upon the physical and chemical make–up of the membrane. The maintenance of the living cell depends upon the continued presence and functioning of a selectively permeable membrane. If the nature of the membrane is changed or altered in any way‚ this may well affect its permeability and thus the properties of the cell of which it is a part. Irreversible changes in the permeability

Materials: (per student group): red onion epidermis forceps‚ dropper distilled water NaCl solution paper towels microscope slide cover slip Procedure 1. Make a wet mount of the red onion epidermis. 2. Examine under low power. When you have a clear view of several cells‚ switch to high power. Make a labeled drawing (cell wall‚ membrane

Electrochemical Cells Lab Report AP Chemistry Block 1 Analysis: The purpose of Part 1 of this laboratory is to construct a table listing the reduction potentials of a series of metal ions in order of ease of reduction. The series of half-cells is constructed by placing a piece of metal into a 1.0 M solution of its ions for each metal in the series. The metals are Cu‚ Fe‚ Pb‚ Mg‚ Ag‚ and Zn. The half-cells are connected by a salt bridge constructed of a strip of filter paper soaked in a solution

CELL TRANSPORT MECHANISMS AND PERMEABILITY Zack Johnson Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 2101 Instructor: Alan Byboth‚ M.S. 10/4/12 Abstract- The cell is invaluable building block of all biological life on this planet‚ and one of its most important and unique characteristics is its ability to be selectively permeable with its plasma membrane. This outer membrane’s sophisticated mechanisms of transport through its bilayer are vital in maintaining homeostasis in the cell and the entire

The cell membrane is made up of fats‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and carbohydrates‚ and is a permeable structure. However‚ this permeation is very discerning because it only lets certain things pass through it. The cell membrane has a layer of phospholipids with hydrophobic ends and hydrophilic tops. The “tails” are made out of phosphate‚ while the “heads” are made up of two strings of fatty acids. There are two layers of these phospholipids‚ called the “bilayer”‚ and the tips of each phospholipid are facing

the size of cheek cell and onion cell DCP: Introduction: In this experiment‚ Onion cells (Allium cepa) Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) were measured and compared. The aim of this experiment is to find out how both cells differ by comparing their size. Onion cells (Allium cepa) is plant cell and Cheek cells (Homo sapiens) is an animal cell. Hypothesis: The size of an animal cell (Homo sapiens) should be smaller than a plant cell (Allium cepa). Because a plant cell has cell wall which is to maintain
