    Growth Dynamics of E. coli in Varying Concentrations of Nutrient Broths, pH, and in the Presence of an Antibiotic Abstract The purpose in this experiment of growth dynamics of E. coli in varying media was to determine which media produces the maximum number of cells per unit time. First a control was established for E. coli in a 1.0x nutrient broth. This was used to compare the growth in the experimental media of 0.5x and 2.0x, nutrient broths; nutrient broths with an additional 5

  • Investigating the Rate of Reaction Between Marble Chips and the Varying Concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid

    705 Words  | 2 Pages

    Investigating the Rate of Reaction Between Marble Chips and the Varying Concentrations of Hydrochloric Acid Planning Before starting the experiment I had to work out how much marble chips would be needed and how much HCl would be needed. I decided that 20 grams of marble chips would be needed and I measured this on a pan balance. The chips would have to be of medium size as from a previous experiment done in class I realize that changing the surface area of the marble chips would change

  • Investigate the Effect of Varying Solution Concentration on Osmosis in a Potato Chip

    3441 Words  | 7 Pages

    Investigate the Effect of Varying Solution Concentration on Osmosis in a Potato Chip Prediction A definition of osmosis is: 'the movement of water molecules from an area of high water concentration to a low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane' (Oxforddictionary 2000). In a high concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is low. These solutions are usually known as a dilute or weak solution. But in a low concentration of water the amount of solute (e.g. sugar) is

  • Investigating the Effects of Varying Sugar Concentration on the Amount of Osmotic Activity Between the Solution and Potato Tubes

    1264 Words  | 3 Pages

    Investigating the Effects of Varying Sugar Concentration on the Amount of Osmotic Activity Between the Solution and Potato Tubes Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement takes place across a partially permeable membrane e.g. a cell wall. This means that the cell wall will let smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules

  • Osmosis of a Turnip and a Potato Chip

    982 Words  | 2 Pages

    What I am actually been asked to investigate is the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Background Knowledge: Osmosis is a special type of diffusion involving the movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane and is defined as the movement of water or any other solution from a high concentration to a low one through a semi permeable membrane e.g. cell wall

  • Investigating Whether a Sugared Solution Has an Effect on Potatoes

    2844 Words  | 6 Pages

    trying to see if a sugared solution (sucrose) has an effect on potatoes. I aim to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. I will also endeavour to find the exact (or as near as possible) concentration of sucrose solution when no osmosis occurs and the concentrations are equal. Preliminary Work In a sense, preliminary work is as important as the actual experiment.

  • Factors Affecting Osmosis

    5898 Words  | 12 Pages

    experiment is to investigate the factors affecting osmosis. I have chosen to investigate the effect varying concentration of sucrose solution has on the amount of osmotic activity between the sucrose solution and a plant cell. The plant cell I have chosen to use is a potato tuber from which I plan to cut potato chips of equal length which I will place in test tubes filled with varying concentrations at equal volumes of sucrose solution. After a set amount of time I will remove the potato chips

  • The Effects of Different Salt Solutions on Potatoes

    2455 Words  | 5 Pages

    Effects of Different Salt Solutions on Potatoes Plan My aim is to investigate how different concentrations of salt solution affect the movement of water through a partially permeable membrane (osmosis) in potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration through a partially permeable membrane. I will add pieces of potato to varying concentrations of salt solution, wait on each solution and then record the results. I will eventually use the results

  • An Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Plant Tissue

    2602 Words  | 6 Pages

    An Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Plant Tissue Aim: To conduct an investigation to compare the osmotic behavior of two types of plant tissue in varying concentrations of sucrose solution. To find the point at which there is no change in mass or length of a specific plant tissue in a certain sucrose solution, the point of equilibrium, where sucrose and water contents are both equal in the solution and the tissue. Introduction: When a plant cell is placed in a sucrose solution there

  • Investigating How Changing the Concentration of Sucrose Affects Its Reaction Time

    1688 Words  | 4 Pages

    Investigating How Changing the Concentration of Sucrose Affects Its Reaction Time Aim: To find out how varying concentrations of the substrate (sucrose) affects the rate of reaction with the enzyme sucrase. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that as the sucrose concentration increases, the rate of reaction will also increase. Scientific Knowledge: [IMAGE] Enzymes are biological catalysts which increase the rate of a chemical reaction without directly taking part in the reaction. For

  • Investigating the rates of reaction of Sodium thiosulphate and hydrochloric acid

    2403 Words  | 5 Pages

    for the reaction to take place. There are four factors which affect the rate of a reaction, according to the collision theory of reacting particles: temperature, concentration (of solution), surface are (of solid reactants), and catalysts. I have chosen to investigate the effect concentration has on a reaction. This is because concentration is the most practical to investigate as it would take longer to prepare a solid in powdered and unpowdered form, and it is difficult to get accurate readings due

  • Investigating the Effect of Varying Concentration on the Reaction between Magnesium Ribbon and Hydrochloric Acid

    1711 Words  | 4 Pages

    Investigating the Effect of Varying Concentration on the Reaction between Magnesium Ribbon and Hydrochloric Acid This investigation is being carried out to discover how the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid (HCL), combined with Magnesium Ribbon (Mg), diluted with Water (H20) will affect the rate of reaction. The rate of reaction will be measured by the amount of hydrogen gas (H2) released. This will be measured every 10 seconds during the experiment. Each time the experiment is conducted

  • Varying Definitions of 'America' in American Literature

    1851 Words  | 4 Pages

    Varying Definitions of 'America' in American Literature Denotations and connotations inherent in the word "America" in different works of American literature have a number of similarities and differences. Often, the definition of the word is not known at the beginning of a work and one of the thematic elements is the search for the true "America," whatever it may be for the author in question. Many American authors raise the question, "What is America?" and go about answering it in their

  • Changing the Meaning of Conrad's Heart of Darkness

    2741 Words  | 6 Pages

    Conrad's text in redefining artistic. By shifting from synonym to synonym in a redefining of lies and the reason for Marlow's hatred of them, Thomas is able to conclude that, in the end, Marlow accepts lies. Miller puts more distance between his varying definitions, but it is in his redefining of aspects of parable that he is most crafty. He changes the explicit narrative of parable from commonplace to historical (and bizarre), he confines the implicit narrative to being oriented to the future (in

  • American Democracy

    peaceful kinds of government in the world although it is a long way from utopia. The democracy in which we live has many strengths and weaknesses. Neither strengths or weaknesses out weigh one another, but it is necessary to have both due to the varying definitions. A democracy is a government that is run by the people. The politicians that we elect to run our government are human and they are susceptible to mistakes based on their own strengths and weaknesses. The strengths and weaknesses they possess
