of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1. Temperature 2. Surface area of potato 3. Volume of sucrose solution 4. Same

1998-99 growing season to study the effect of nitrogen and plant spacing on the growth and yield of potato (var. Diamant). Different nitrogen levels viz. 0‚ 127.0‚ 190.5 and 254.0 kg N/ha significantly influenced plant height‚ foliage coverage‚ number of main stem per hill‚ days required for 80% maturity of the crop‚ fresh weight of haulm (g/hill)‚ number of tubers per hill‚ weight of tubers per hill‚ total yield of tubers per hectare and yield of seed and non-seed tubers per hectare.

Investigating the Osmosis Effect in Potato Cores Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the osmosis effect in potato cores while they are submerged in different concentrations of sucrose solution. Osmosis will take place while the potatoes are fully submerged in the sucrose solution. Apparatus æ Scalpel (1) æ Tile (1) æ Pr.

Effects of Sucrose Concentration On Cell Respiration In Yeast Abstract This lab investigates the effects of Sucrose concentration on cell respiration in yeast. Yeast produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct of anaerobic cellular respiration‚ so we measured the rate of cellular respiration by the amount of CO2 produced per minute. The results show a trend wherein increased concentrations of sucrose increase the rate of cellular respiration. Introduction All living cells require energy

Research Project: Potato The potato originated in the South American Andes‚ but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela‚ Colombia‚ Ecuador‚ Peru‚ Bolivia‚ Argentina‚ Chile‚ Uruguay‚ Paraguay‚ southern Brazil‚ northward into Central America‚ Mexico‚ and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago‚ some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13‚000 years ago. Potato is the third most important

percentages. Sucrose is the leading added sweetener in in the manufacture of foods in the Unites States and is the biggest source of fructose. Sucrose and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are metabolized identically and react the same way to insulin‚ leptin and ghrelin. Sucrose is indifferent from HFCS in causing obesity. Compared to glucose‚ sucrose is extracted directly from the liver while glucose goes directly to the bloodstream causing larger sugar spikes. HFCS and sucrose have an identical effect on glucose

The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

Water is an essential ingredient for life as well as a key element for our environment. The pollution of water has a great impact on all living things. According to James Roth‚ the US‚ 40% of rivers‚ lakes‚ and coastal waters are so contaminated that they are unfit for humans to fish in‚ swim in‚ or drink. As stated by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)‚ it is estimated each year that seven million Americans become sick from contaminated tap water‚ some cases being lethal. There

The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize
