Egg-speriment Write-up Part 1- Purpose: Why did we do the experiment? The purpose of this experiment was to understand how osmosis works and that the cell membrane is selectively permeable. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Many cells cannot function without adequate water‚ so cells depend on osmosis. When a cell is selectively permeable‚ it means some substances can pass through while others can’t. Many examples of these were shown throughout

Practical 5: determination of activation energy of an enzymed catalyzed reaction Introduction: enzymes are complex chemicals that control reactions in living cells. They are biochemical catalysts‚ speeding up reactions that would occur too slowly to be of any usefulness to an organism. Although in organisms‚ it is not necessary for the reactions to be at maximum rate at all times. Enzymes interact with other molecules to produce a stable system in which the products are made when they are

HYPOTHESIS Using train conductors as representatives for all of human kind we can postulate with some accuracy the percent of the population of Earth that are complete and total assholes. If you have ever lived in a small town with train tracks running through it you will know that the conductor of the train is required to sound the whistle at every crossing. This is a 4-part whistle; 2 long‚ 1 short‚ 1 long. My hypothesis is that we can calculate what percentage of the population of planet Earth

waterBoiling chipProcedureA Separation of a Sodium Chloride and Charcoal Mixture#1 Place 4 g of the salt/charcoal mixture in a 100 mL beaker and add about 15 mL of distilled water. Stir the mixture for about two minutes to allow the salt to dissolve. #2 Set up a filter funnel with filter paper on a filter funnel stand. Filter the mixture and collect the filtrate in a 100 mL beaker as shown in Figure 1.1. #3 Wash the solid with a further 5 mL of water but do not add this to the filtrate. Note and record

March 18‚ 2013 Spirometry Lab Write-Up A. Subject History The subject is a twenty eight year old female. She stands five feet eight inches tall and weighs approximately one hundred fifty pounds. The subject is a non-smoker and although she has never had any respiratory issues‚ asthma does tend to run in her family on the maternal side. The subject does however admit to feeling out of breathe easily when doing intense exercise for an extended period of time. B. Effect of CO2 on Breathing

EXPERIMENT WRITE-UP INTRODUCTION: Information entering the memory can take on different forms‚ e.g. images‚ sounds or meaning. A way in which information is processed is through encoding‚ which is when information enters the sensory memory and is changed into a form that the memory can store it in. Information can be encoded as visual‚ acoustic or semantic. Evidence suggests that the primary encoding method for information to be stored in the short term memory (STM) is through acoustic coding

pigments of spinach leaves can be separated. The knowledge gained in this experiment is relevant to understanding how the process of photosynthesis works. A Real-world application for this includes the harvesting of clean energy sources‚ as scientific advances have led the way to artificial photosynthesis on the path to replace fossil fuels (Nath‚ 237). Photosynthesis converts light received from the sun into chemical energy known as ATP. Visible light is absorbed by the pigments found in plants. Carbon

Jordan Alyce Norris November 7‚ 2014 Biology 111-J3 Predicting Patterns of Inheritance Using Monohybrid and Dihybrid Crosses Introduction This experiment was on Mendelian Inheritance; which is the inheritance of biological features that are based on the rules proposed my Mendel. The purpose of this experiment was to show how to predict patterns of inheritance by using Punnett Squares to perform monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. Two crosses were performed. Cross one consisted of heterozygous alleles
