Sara Creed SC1040 Assignment Week 3 Kendrick McQueen April 6‚ 2013 Living things and The Sun’s Energy Most of the energy we use is from the sun. This energy from the sun is called solar energy‚ plants convert it into energy‚ and animals eat plants and convert that into energy. Humans eat plants and animals and convert those into energy; humans also use solar energy to create electricity. How exactly then is the sun’s energy converted into a sustainable energy source? One process is photosynthesis

Binomial nomenclature Each organism is assigned a 2-part Latin name. E.g. Carl Linnaeus Castor canadesis beaver from canada Homo sapien? Taxonomy: The Classification of living organisms. Dichotomous Keys A tool used to identify species based on their physical characteristics. Constructed as a series of choices (2 choices) leading to new branches of other choices‚ narrowing the organism down to a

The Osmosis Scientific Paper Emily N. Charbonneau Grand Valley State University The point of this experiment was to observe if the different concentrations of sucrose would change the speed of osmosis. Osmosis is a process of a fluid that will pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution which most of the time has a higher concentration. Osmosis will be demonstrated throughout the lab. The importance of osmosis in a plant and animal cell there is a cell membrane‚ which helps liquids and

Investigation: A factor that affects the movement of water in and out of cells. Osmosis: movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. High water potential = lots of free water molecules‚ low solute concentration Low water potential = very few free water molecules‚ high solute concentration Factors That Affect the Movement of Water in and out of Cells * Solute concentration * If one solution

Osmosis Aim: To determine the concentration of cell sap in a potato cell. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. It starts from a weak solution and becomes a more stronger solution until the concentrations on both sides are equal. To investigate the range of solutions needed to find the point at which the surrounding solution is the same as the cell sap in the vacuole.

Joshua Annan Biology Section-04 Diffusion and Osmosis December 14‚2012 Alexis‚ Adiba‚ Elliot and Joey Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to get a better understanding of osmosis and diffusion in molecules. We will do this by studying different solutions and how they move through the permeable membrane. Hypothesis: The three different possible predictions were the lab were that the mass would stay the same‚ the mass will increase‚ or the mass will decrease

Task one A). How do living things interact? Living things find a way to live off the land. Not with artificial flavouring or stuff like that. But it may not last unless we take good care of it. Living things interact by: 1). Viruses Learn about viruses and their surroundings‚ and how they are created. What is a Virus A virus s a small‚ NONLIVING particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell. Viruses are considered nonliving because they are not cells. They cannot: * use energy

structure of the cell keeping all organisms in alignment. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. We didn ’t know anything about osmosis except that it was a word in the dictionary that we never picked up. Osmosis and diffusion are similar because osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. If two solutions of different
