Examination of Onion Epidermal Cells Requirements: Iodine solution HARMFUL Onion Distilled Water Apparatus: Microscope Microscope slides & cover slips Tile Knife Tweezers Pasteur Pipettes Assignment: I was given the onion once it had been chopped up on the tile‚ ready for me to peel back the skin I required using the tweezers. I then placed piece of onionskin onto the microscope slide‚ making sure there were no folds or creases‚ and put a drop of iodine onto the slide

Cell Transport Mechanisms Essay There are two methods of moving molecules across the cell membrane‚ passive transport and active transport. Passive transport doesn’t use energy‚ while active transport does use energy. Passive transport allows molecules to move on their own according to natural laws of physics. The three types of passive transport mechanisms include diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and facilitated diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of materials from an area of most concentrated to

Lab 1: Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to have a better understanding of the subject matter and to understand the difference between active and passive cellular transport. It will also help to define diffusion and describe the process that occurs when certain solutes come in contact and are either stopped or move through the plasma membrane. Hypothesis I believe the plasma membrane is selective about what is able to and not able to pass

Cell Surface Glycoprotein Receptor Analysis Using Concanavalin A Purpose: During this experiment we compared the hemagglutination reaction of control Con A solution at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer with the hemagglutination reaction of your own purified Con A sample that you diluted previously at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer. The purpose of this lab was to determine the strength of the reaction by performing serial dilutions on both the Con A sample and the control Con A sample‚ and determine through observations

OBSERVING PLASMOLYSIS IN ONION CELLS (_ALLIUM CEPA_) I. INTRODUCTION Plasmolysis is the process in plant cells in which the cytoplasm is separated from the cell wall as a result of water loss through osmosis. Osmosis is a type of passive transport involving movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane. 1. RESEARCH QUESTION How does 15% NaCl solution affect the appearance of onion cells? 2. HYPOTHESIS If onion cells are submerged in solutions of NaCl of different concentrations

The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule. B. The nature of plasma membrane. If the membrane is composed of lipid portion.‚ only lipid soluble molecules can pass through while water molecules

CELL REPRODUCTION DNA is the cell’s genetic material; chromosomes are the carriers of this genetic information. In proka-ryotes‚ the chromosome is a single circle of DNA. In eukaryotes‚ each chromosome is a complex of DNA and histone proteins found in the nucleus. BINARY FISSION Prokaryotic cells reproduce via binary fission. In this process‚ DNA Is replicated‚ and the cell splits in two roughly equal parts‚ each with a copy of the cell’s DNA. EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE Eukaryotic cells reproduce

Investigating the effect of temperature on plant cell membranes The purpose of this activity is: • to practise experimental and investigative skills • to investigate the effect of temperature on cell membrane structures Procedure SAFETY: Always carry scalpels clasped to a tile and with the tip pointing away from you. Beetroot cells contain pigments called betalains that give the tissue its dark purple-red colour. The pigment is contained in the cell vacuole. Investigation a. Collect
