Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

1. (10 points) Write out your pre-lab prediction‚ including what evidence or previous knowledge you have to support that prediction. --Answer below: Things "rising" and "setting" give the appearance of something rising or setting. In reality objects like the Sun or Moon aren’t physically rising from the horizon. Most of the motions we see in the sky are caused by the Earth’s motion‚ both its rotation and orbital motion. So all of the "motions" described below are really apparent motions and not

this lab was to a digital oscilloscope to measure various signals. The goal of Part 1 was to measure the mean value‚ the frequency‚ peak to peak voltage‚ and the RMS voltage of a triangular input signal. To meet this goal‚ a function generator was used to generate a 1 kHz triangular wave signal with a 1 V amplitude‚ and the oscilloscope was used to measure the values of that signal. Using the oscilloscope‚ the mean value was found to be -37.6 mV‚ the RMS Voltage was 292 mV‚ the frequency was 1 kHz

things. One important part of a cell is the cell membrane. The cell Membrane is a thin protective coating around a cell that regulates what goes in and out of the cell. An important part of regulating this is passive transport. Passive transport is the movement of materials through membranes without any input of energy. One type of passive transport is diffusion. Passive transport is the diffusion of substances across a membrane. In diffusion‚ molecules will usually move from where the substance

In this experiment diffusion and osmosis is the main idea. When using diffusion and osmosis you are trying to separate different solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Only a solute’s relative concentration‚ or water potential‚ affects the rate of osmosis. The higher the concentration of solutes‚ the faster water will flow through the membrane to equalize the concentration. The way we describe the movement from higher to lower concentration or lower to higher concentration is called

mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic because

Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would

They consist of Enriched media‚ Nutrient media‚ Selective media‚ and differential media. Enriched media is a growth media supplemented with complex biological molecules. This type of media is used for blood‚ coagulated blood‚ amino acids‚ etc. Nutrient media provides nutrients necessary
