Effect of Concentration on Osmosis
Aim
To find out how the concentration of sucrose solution affects the mass
of the potato chip left in the solution for one day.
Prediction
I predict that when the sucrose concentration is low the potato chip
will gain mass. This is because there will be a higher sucrose
concentration in the potato chip so water will go into the potato from
the solution. I predict that when there is a high concentration of
sucrose the potato will lose mass. This is because there is a higher
concentration of sucrose solution in the solution compared to that in
the potato chip so water from the potato will go into the solution to
even it out.
Osmosis is "the movement of a solvent through a selectively permeable
membrane (as of a living cell) into a solution of higher solute
concentration that tends to equalize the concentrations of solute on
the two sides of the membrane"
Osmosis is the movement of water from high water concentration to
lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane.
Selectively permeable membranesare very thin layers of material (cell
membranes are selectively-permeable), which allow some molecules to
pass through them but prevent other molecules from passing through.
Cell membranes will allow small molecules like Oxygen, water, Carbon
Dioxide, Ammonia, Glucose, amino-acids, etc. to pass through. Cell
membranes will not allow larger molecules like Sucrose, Starch,
protein, etc. to pass through.
In my experiment I will have a test tube with a potato chip in. The
outside wall of the potato chip is selectively permeable so it lets
water pass through it but not bigger molecules such as sucrose. In the
test tubes I will put different concentrations of sucrose solution.
When the concentration of the solution is lower than that in the
potato, water will pass through the selectively permeable wall into the
potato.

When the sucrose solution is stronger outside if the potato chip water
will move out from the potato chip into the solution.
When the concentration is the same on both sides of the selectively
permeable wall nothing passes through it and the mass will stay the
same.

had two in a test tube if one of them was a long way out it made the
graph not follow the line well when I plotted the averages.
There was one anomalous result at 0.5 mol. I think this was because we
patted them dry when we got them out of the test tubes as we did not
want to weigh there water on the outside of the potato but I think
that we may not have dried them all equally so this anomalous result
may have been due to it having water left on the outside of it.
Also the potato itself was not from the same part of the potato and
was not exactly the same size, although I did try to cut them to 36mm
each.
I could also try the same experiment but with different volumes of
cell tissues and see if the percentage change differed with a bigger
and smaller surface area.
I could now investigate the smaller range near to 0.25 to see the
sucrose concentration equivalent to the potato.
Finally, I could extend the experiment to a more exact level by
looking at the potato cylinders under a microscope, then I would be
able to see the cells in greater detail and draw some more
observational results.
Golf is a very physical sport. You use 17 muscle groups in the swing of a golf club. Sports require coordinated muscle use and using 17 groups of muscles takes coordination. Golf also can burn lots of calories. If you play a nine-hole course without a golf cart and no catty (someone who carries clubs for you), you walk 2-2.5 miles and you burn 721 calories. Professionals play in a four day tournament where they play 18 holes each day. After the tournament, they would be burning around 5,000 calories in total. This
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a costing method that is usually used as a supplement to a company’s usual costing system, and is therefore used for internal decision-making. It is designed to inform managers of costing information for decisions (strategic and others) that potentially affect capacity and consequently “fixed” as well as variable costs. In addition, ABC can also be used to pinpoint activities that would benefit from process improvements.
The Effect of Solute Concentration on the Rate of Osmosis Aim: To test and observe how the concentration gradient between a potato and water & sugar solution will affect the rate of osmosis. Introduction: Osmosis is defined as, diffusion, or net movement, of free water molecules from high to low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. When a substance, such as sugar (which we will be using in the experiment we are about to analyse), dissolves in water, it attracts free water molecules to itself, and in doing so, stops them from moving freely. The effect of this, is that the concentration of (free) water molecules in that environment goes down. There are less free water molecules, and therefore less water molecules to pass across a semi-permeable membrane, through which sugar molecules and other molecules attached to them are too big to diffuse across with ease.
Troy is a fighter of equality between blacks and whites. He strives for it by asking his boss Mr. Rand “Why you got the white men driving and the colored lifting” (1.1.2); when his friend Bono and his wife are afraid he will get fired. He himself is also aware the fact that his query might lead to job losses. He is acting so irritable that Rose asks him to “stop worrying about what happened at work yesterday” (1.2.23). Pursuing equality for blacks by demanding the same job as white workers, he demonstrates integrity. Knowing what the consequence might be of this pursuit but still fighting for it, he proves himself as a brave man.
should not use the traditional method over the ABC costing method. Although the Traditional method is easier to implement, this method doesn’t take into account that Woodward Farm Inc. uses an automated process in order to produce goods.Therefore in this method, due to the automated process, direct labour hours is most frequently used in order to calculate the overhead cost. Under the traditional method other cost drivers such as quality control and soldering activities would not be accounted for which results in an inaccurate representation of the actual image of the company 's progress. Therefore if traditional method is used to compute the overhead, this could lead to inaccurate and wrong managerial
“Golf is the fastest growing competitive sport in the United States today” (Fossum 87). This game is rapidly growing In the United States, but is also a very expensive game to play. Today, it is a $25 billion business in the United States. (Dobrian). Golf is a game of dedication and patience that has a very interesting history. There are three main parts when it comes to the history of golf and how it can about. The creator of golf along with its origin, the advancement in equipment over the years, and the first golfers and courses are all major things in the history of the game.
Bowling and Golf both share unique aspects of their individual sport. Bowling is considered an anaerobic activity, while golf is an aerobic activity. In bowling, one usually does not get sweaty or become suddenly out of breath, however, in golf, since one is consistently walking to retrieve their ball to where they the ball landed, both sports have their own purposes of exercising. In addition, in a Chicago Tribune article, Bowling may be a sport, but is it work?, by Marla Krause, interviewed the head coach of a boys' bowling team at New Trier High School in Winnetka, he says,” As exercise, it may not be like running or swimming," Durkin said, "but it takes some leg and upper-body strength to throw hard and hook the ball.” As this course taught
2. Increase accuracy in the product cost calculating. While using ABC, direct materials and direct labors can be classified into products, manufacturing overhead will be classified into the homogeneous cost pool. Then, apportioned the manufacturing overhead into products according to reasonable distribution cost standard. The standard of cost allocation becomes more direct and specific, leading to many traditional uncontrollable indirect cost changes into controllable direct cost. And this provides more accurate information to cost control.
...“Remember why you play the game. You’re probably not trying to win a Major, just trying to enjoy some exercise, meet with your friends, and hit some good shots” (217). That is the true enjoyment of golf. It is about trying to hit shots that seem impossible, accomplishing goals, and having fun while learning with every shot, one shot at a time.

The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of changing the concentration of sodium chloride solution on the rate of osmosis in tubes of potatoes. This was maintained using equal measurements of the potato tubes and applying them into the different concentrations of sodium chloride, 0%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 26%, in beakers then measuring the change in mass of the potato tubes afterwards. The time taken for all potato tubes to be placed in solution was 15 minutes. Can the concentration gradient of the sodium chloride solution influence on the rate of osmotic diffusion undergone by the potato tubes?
Golf. A sport that started out with just a wooden stick and ball, is now a very well know game by many people all around the globe. The sport that also just started out as a way to mess around has become a job for some of the people and is making some golfers millions of dollars each year. A sport that many people spend their whole lives playing or watching used to not be exactly what is today. Even though golf is a very well known sport now, golf has been around for hundreds of years and is played by people all over the world. The sport of golf has been dated all the way back to years before 1,000 and has kept growing exponentially ever since. According to the International Golf Federation, they have 144 different countries a part of the organization, leaving out 51. The game of golf is played at many different levels all the way from junior tournaments, all the way to professional events. The evolution of the sport of golf is made up of a couple main things. These two main things are how golf got its start, and what has changed about the game.

As such, there is material cost regulator, manufacturing control, labor cost regulator, excellence control and so on. Conversely, control over the price is implemented through the methods of financial control and typical costing (Meigs, 1998). The control methods aid the management in understanding the operating competence of a firm. Cost accounting also determines the selling price. The intention of all business firms is minimizing costs and maximizing profits. The costs incurred in producing goods and services may be reduced through incorporating alternate but cheaper resources of
