Purpose of today’s experiment: To determine the effect osmotic pressure might have on cellular membranes‚ specifically when beet slices are placed in NaCl solutions of varying concentrations. 2. Hypothesis: The osmolarity will directly increase with increasing NaCl concentrations. 3. Control = Distilled Water – this was present in all solutions 4. The independent variable – salinity of the 6 solutions; while predetermined‚ the NaCl concentrations varied from 0% to 15%. The dependent variable – beet

BIOL 2010 ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY I Chapter 4: TISSUES AND MEMBRANES Outline of Notes I. Introduction. A. General: Cells are highly specialized and interdependent on one another. Groups of similar cells performing similar functions are called Tissues The study of tissues is called Histology. Organs are made of tissues. A detailed understanding of tissues will greatly help your understanding of organs and organ systems later in this course. Tissues are classified into 4 main types:

Effects of Tonicity on Cell Membrane Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of tonicity on a cell membrane using red blood cells‚ potato strips and three unknown solutions (A‚ B‚ C). First three slides were prepared containing RBC’s and unknown solutions A‚ B and C. A control slide was prepared only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The

light to the properties of the material through which the light is travelling. In turn‚ absorbance is proportional to concentration and the higher the concentration‚ the higher the absorbance. This experiment incorporated Beer’s Law and is focused on determining the stress that various alcohols have on biological membranes. Using five solutions of differing alcohol concentration for each of the three alcohols; methanol‚ ethanol‚ and 1-propanol and a small slice of beet‚ the stirred solution was

PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur from one area to another

1) Hypertonic refers to _______. 1) _______ A) the concentration of solutes that a cell is bathed in B) a concentration of solutes that is less than the solutes inside the cell C) the concentration of solutes inside a cell D) a solution that will cause a cell to swell 2) What happens to facilitated diffusion when the protein carriers become saturated? 2) _______ A) ATP will be utilized for transport. B)

Peer Pressure – Are You Being Influenced? If there is one inescapable aspect of being a teenager‚ it is peer group pressure. We have all either experienced it‚ or will do so at some time in our lives. It doesn’t matter what religion or ethnic community we belong to‚ or which country we live in. Peer pressure is universal. It can mean pressure to conform to a certain group norm‚ or it can be the pressure to do something. Why is peer group pressure more of an issue during the teen years‚ and how can

I feel you did a great job on your assignment for this week explaining the properties of the cell membrane with the correct terms integral proteins‚ channel proteins and bilipid construction. Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane

Developing countries want the right to vote. 2014 In the 21st century‚ trade is the most important element of economic growth and prosperity of each country. Historically established global trade began to develop at the end of World War II with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT‚ 1947) and contributed to the creation of sustainable economic and market relations between countries such as America‚ Australia‚ Europe
