A political party has a wider appeal than a pressure group‚ appealing to as wide a swathe of society as possible‚ to ensure re-election and power. A pressure group can‚ arguably‚ have a much narrower width of appeal‚ dependent upon what it is campaigning against or for. For example‚ it may have a

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane

Introduction: Systolic blood pressure‚ the highest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the left ventricle contracts. Diastolic blood pressure‚ the lowest pressure in the cardiac cycle‚ measures the pressure in the arteries as the ventricles relax and refill with blood just before the next ventricular contraction. We measure blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope. To measure the systolic pressure‚ place the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm and

Breaking a Ruler with Atmospheric Pressure Introduction In this experiment‚ I will try to use air pressure‚ along with some sheets of newspaper‚ to attempt to break a ruler. Air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the earth. A device called a barometer measures it in units called millibars. Most barometers use mercury in a glass column‚ like a thermometer‚ to measure the change in air pressure. I came up with this idea from when I read in a book about how some kids tried to
