Saturation of landfill In the densely populated city of Hong Kong‚ where land resources are rare‚ waste is a troublesome issue. According to the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department(EDP) Hong Kong is running out of landfill space far earlier than expected‚ and the existing landfills will be filled up‚ one by one‚ in mid to late 2010s if waste levels continue to increase at current levels.) Unless solutions are identified immediately‚ we could face a crisis in the next decade of having

The aim of this experiment was to show the water potentials of young‚ old and damaged potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn

Box 1 In a dilution‚ the number of solute particles does not change‚ just the concentration with respect to the volume. This relationship is _____________________ proportional. Initially‚ there is 275mL 0.125M stock solution of a substance. -Determine the amount of moles of solute present. -What is the concentration

BIOLOGY OSMOSIS LAB REPORT 1. Research Question/ Aim How do the different sodium chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be

Abstract The experiment was carried out to investigate at which point the potato has reached its isotonic environment. From the results‚ when the concentration increase to 0.3M‚ the mass of the potato slices decreased by -3.26%. We can conclude we see that as we increased the sucrose concentration it was a decrease in the percent change. Introduction All cells have membranes that are selectively permeable. In other words‚ they allow certain things in and certain substances are not allowed to

adequate oxygen and nutrients. While oxygenation is provided in the incubator‚ the health care team must maintain oxygen within a fine range‚ as the retinas appear to be very sensitive to the amount of oxygen supplied. In the NICU‚ the nurse provided me with a chart for ROP guidelines – Red‚ yellow‚ and green – which was dictated by the premature infant’s gestation. Depending on where the infant placed on the chart‚ nursing interventions were given‚ including the preferred range of oxygen saturation

This reaction is far too quick and will prevent me from analysing the effects different substrate concentrations have on enzymes if I decide to continue. I will therefore lower my yeast concentration to 1%. I will also measure the volume of oxygen produced every 15 seconds‚ instead of every 30 seconds. This will make my results more reliable and allow

and the time that used for the experiment to last was enough to allow sufficient osmosis to occur. However if I was to repeat the experiment I might well increase the time of the result to allow more osmosis to happen and possibly find out the saturation point of the chips. The range of concentrations was adequate but I would possibly create more concentrations if I repeated the experiment so that I would have more varied results‚ i.e. 0.10m‚ 1.15m‚ 1.20m‚ and so on. This way would have allowed
