development of the light microscope many scientists were able to view microscopic objects such as cells. The first to accomplish this was Robert Hooke when he used a light microscope to observe a thin slice of cork. Hooke observed that the cork was made of tiny structures of which he called cells. Hooke was in fact looking at the cell walls of dead plant cells that make up the cork. After Hooke‚ a Dutch scientist named Anton van Leeuwenhoek used the light microscope to observe living cells inside stagnant

Biology Investigation: Effect of different concentrations of sucrose solutions on the mass of potatoes Research question Is the mass of potatoes going to be smaller or bigger in different sucrose concentration? Introduction Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water

August 15‚ 2012 COMPOUND MICROSCOPE A compound microscope is an optical instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. A compound microscope is a microscope fitted with two or more convex lenses. The high magnification produced by these lenses together enables a detailed study of micro-organisms‚ cells and tissues. These types of microscopes are therefore widely used in scientific and medical research. The basic design of a compound light microscope consists

Partner: Unur Abdul Kader T.A: Katie Experiment 22: Molar Solubility‚ Common-Ion Effect Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the molar solubility‚ the solubility constant‚ and the effect of a common ion on the molar solubility of calcium hydroxide. To accomplish this the experiment was split into two parts; part A and Part B. in Part A of the experiment a standardized 0.05 M solution of HCl was titrated into a 25 mL solution of saturated Ca(OH)2 which contained 2 drops of orange

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

Compound Microscope Parts A high power or compound microscope achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope. It is used to view smaller specimens such as cell structures which cannot be seen at lower levels of magnification. Essentially‚ a compound microscope consists of structural and optical components. However‚ within these two basic systems‚ there are some essential components that every microscopist should know and understand. These key microscope parts are illustrated

The rate of fermentation is faster when there is more sucrose concentration because it means there is more glucose‚ which in return means more carbon dioxide production. The sucrose concentrations were 0%‚ 1%‚ 5%‚ and 10%. The 0% sucrose concentration is just normal‚ plain water. Yeast‚ a single celled eukaryotic fungi‚ was put into the solutions. It uses fermentation to make more carbon dioxide and alcohol. In the 0% solution‚ no carbon dioxide had been produced. At the start‚ the depth of the
