The outmost layer of cells (the epidermis) contains root hair cells that increase the surface area of the root These cells absorb minerals from the soil by active transport using ATP for energy The minerals reduced the water potential of the cell cytoplasm; this makes the water potential in the cell lower than that in the soil. Movement across a root: The movement of water across the root is driven by an active process that occurs at the endodermis; this is a layer of cells surrounding the xylem

Practical 4 Determination Of Fruit Firmness Introduction The development of sensors to measure fruit internal quality variable is one of the challenges of post – harvest technology. Several variables can currently be measured‚ including sugar content‚ firmness and internal disorders. Fruit quality is related to both internal variables (firmness‚ sugar content‚ acid content and internal effect) and external variables (shape‚ size‚ external defects and damage). Increasing consumer demand for high

Acid. The resulting factor was the HCl exhibited a greater rate of diffusion‚ directly resulting in a lager diameter. This implies that the HCl ultimately has a smaller molecular weight. The next experiment was based off osmosis of an animal cell; a chicken egg. After submerging two different chicken eggs in distilled water and 10% salt water‚ once again intervals of 15 minute data collection was taken for a total of one hour. After each interval the weight in grams was taken and then the eggs

The osmotic concentrations were greater than zero in sucrose solutions of 0‚ 0.1‚ and 0.2 M; these cells were hypertonic‚ meaning the solutions had more solute. The osmotic concentrations were less than zero in sucrose solutions of 0.3‚ 0.4‚ and 0.5 M; these cells were hypotonic‚ meaning the solutions had less solute. Osmotic concentration decreased as sucrose concentration increased and cells became more concentrated. Figure 1. The relative osmotic concentration of the potato tissues

citizens swarmed the Berlin wall standing in the middle of their country. A huge celebration had been formed around the wall that had been a symbol of oppression for the German people for decades. People were hugging‚ kissing‚ singing cheering and crying. While some crossed over‚ traveling safely into West Germany for the first time since August 13th‚ 1961‚ many brought hammers and picks and began to destroy the symbol of barefaced Communist oppression. Before the Berlin wall was built the Soviets felt

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Foot odor is a disease which is scientifically known as bromhidrosis- sweaty and smelly feet. While neither painful nor contagious‚ foot odor causes unmitigated social suffering to those who are burdened with it. Under normal conditions each of your feet produces half a pint of sweat by means by means of some 20‚000 sweat glands. In most people‚ this perspiration evaporates. In people with bromhidrosis‚ however ‚ more sweat is produced‚ and it doesn’t evaporate

Review of Literature The question being asked here would be “Does a plant grow bigger if watered with milk? Or water?” In my opinion the answer would be milk because milk contains vitamins and calcium that water does not have‚ but the answer is to be found out later during the project. Well‚ it is known that for a plant to survive it will definitely need air‚ soil‚ water‚ light‚ and space to grow‚ but maybe if we replaced water with milk‚ plants could grow bigger and quicker‚ you never

order to create glucose. The fact that water has an unusually high specific heat capacity makes it a very useful substance for living organisms. Water does not change temperature very easily and therefore minimizes fluctuations in temperature in cells and creates a remarkably constant sea temperature for aquatic organisms. Water has a high latent heat of vaporisation which means that when animals sweat and plants transpire water‚ takes energy from the organism when it
