Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled

UNIT 1 – What is Biology? What is biology? the study of living organisms‚ divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology‚ physiology‚ anatomy‚ behavior‚ origin‚ and distribution. Biotic vs. abiotic factors Biotic- living factors i.e. plants‚ animals‚ fungi‚ bacteria‚ and protest Abiotic- nonliving factors that affect living organisms. Environmental factors: habitat & weather 7 Characteristics of living things (Bio 3 Book Ch. 1) Uni-cellular vs. Multi-cellular Uni-Cellular-

Introduction When we eat such things as bread‚ meat‚ and vegetables‚ they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Our food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. The things we eat turn into things such as carbohydrates‚ fats‚ and proteins. Carbohydrates are‚ any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars‚ starch‚ and cellulose

EXPERIMENT 13 DIGESTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINES ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The small intestine serves as the site of major digestive and absorptive processes. In this experiment‚ the action of pancreatic enzymes on representative samples of each food group under different conditions‚ such as increased/decreased pH and presence of other substances‚ were observed. A pancreatin solution was first prepared from a hog pancreas and was completely neutralized using

Positive control: gives positive result if experimental conditions were followed correctly Negative control: gives negative result if experimental conditions were followed correctly 2) What are the most abundant elements in living material? Carbon‚ Hydrogen‚ Oxygen‚ Nitrogen‚ Sulfur and Phosphorus 3) What are the 4 major biological macromolecules? Carbohydrates (monosaccharides &

Introduction In this Lab the students dealt with Osmosis‚ movement of water molecule or solvent from a high concentration to a low concentration‚ through selective permeability‚ a protective barrier that provide some particle the ’direct ’ passage in and out of the plasma membrane ( Lacerda L.2011) Allowing some molecules enter and exit the cell membrane‚ to create a balance in concentration inside and outside of the cell‚ by doing so the cell often become hypotonic‚ where the concentration

PATTERNS IN NATURE – Summary Notes 1. ORGANISMS ARE MADE OF CELLS THAT HAVE SIMILAR STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.1 Outline the historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular‚ the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown The Cell Theory states that: All living things are made of cells (Theodor Schwann & Matthias Schleiden) Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of organisms (Theodor Schwann) All cells come from pre-existing cells (Rudolf Virchow) The historical
