utilization of mathematics‚ the understanding of the mechanics of gravity and the harnessing the power of the atom. With all these pivotal discoveries and huge technological advancements‚ there have been many that have been overlooked‚ such as “The Potato.” Since I was a child‚ I have always been interested in topics that kids and even adults would find inexorably boring and absurd. My parents were at one time concerned at my unorthodox interest. At one time‚ I remember myself enraged when my dad

I lived on a potato farm in Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. It was the worst famine in Europe in the 19th century. This famine started in September of 1845 and ended in 1852. During this time‚ life in Ireland was extremely difficult. We suffered from much starvation and disease. Approximately one million of us died and another million emigrated to other countries‚ especially America. The population of the country dropped 20 to 25%. The Great Famine began mysteriously.

Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Introduction • What molecules can pass through a semi-permeable membrane? In this lab study we tested carbohydrates such as starch and glucose‚ as well as solutions like Benedict’s and Lugol’s to see if they would cross the membrane of a cell but since we can’t actually see that happen we used dialysis tubing (acts as the cell membrane). • My prediction was that glucose and Benedict’s could pass the semi-permeable membrane but starch and Lugol’s wouldn’t be able to

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for

My First Lab Report: Diffusion and Osmosis To begin‚ this is my first time doing an experiment and a lab report for biology’s class. Although‚ it was a little hard at the beginning‚ my team and I got the hang of it and we finished it on time. It was actually kind of fun. There were three steps in the experiment: 3.1 A – Molecular Movement: In this session‚ I was observing a sample and determining if there was a movement or not. 3.1B –Diffusion through semi-permeable membrane dialysis tube: In this

However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

Diffusion of innovations From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. With successive groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue)‚ its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level. In mathematics the S curve is known as the logistic function. Diffusion of Innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how‚ why‚ and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.

Why is diffusion of innovation and technology important? When I think of diffusion of innovation and technology‚ I think of evolution or how a product‚ idea or theory goes from a thought in someone’s mind to an actual working process and then through time develops into better products to meet society’s needs and wants. Many times certain societies have a special trait‚ characteristic or ability that enables them to be great at certain types of technology or maybe they produce certain products that

differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes as well as NaCl‚ urea‚ glucose‚ albumin‚ powdered charcoal‚ and KCl. The step by step process was used by the software so that we could see the different kinds of reactions. According to the data found‚ we found that with high molecular weight compounds are too large to penetrate the molecular weight cut off pores and no simple diffusion can occur. So it seemed like the easiest way for
