Experiment 5 Title: Membrane Permeability Objectives: 1. Define solvent‚ solute‚ solution‚ selectively permeable‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ concentration gradient‚ equilibrium‚ turgid‚ plasmolyzed‚ plasmolysis‚ turgor pressure‚ tonicity‚ hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ hypotonic; 2. Describe the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic solutions on Elodea leaf cells and onion scale leafs. Introduction: Membrane permeability is a quality of a cell’s plasma membrane that allows substances to pass in

Title L6 – Soil Permeability – Constant Head Test Introduction Permeability is measured in term of water flow through the soil in a given time. The soil permeability is a very important factor to study the behavior of soil in its natural condition with respect to water flow. The size of pore space and interconnectivity of the spaces help determine permeability‚ so shape and arrangement of grains play a role. Often the term hydraulic conductivity is used when discussing groundwater properties

leaky blood vessel network irrigates solid tumors. In this context‚ vascular permeability drives tumor-induced angiogenesis‚ blood flow disturbances‚ inflammatory cell infiltration‚ and tumor cell extravasation. This can directly restrain the efficacy of conventional therapies by limiting intravenous drug delivery. Indeed‚ for more effective anti-angiogenic therapies‚

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

Abstract Literature on Van’t Hoff’s law states that water potentials and zero weight change osmolalities will be the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t

The relationship of casing perforations to tubing perforations is important to the performance of the well‚ whether it is a flowing well or produced by artificial lift. The lease operator must know if the tubing perforations are above or below the casing perforations or at the same level (Figure 1). This can be critical as to how much oil the well produces and the
