Diffusion Labs: Guidelines to Lab Report: Due tuesday 11/65

Labs to be included in Purpose
1. Limits to Cell Size
2. Cell Membrane Model (for structural components)
3. Diffusion thru a Membrane
4. Osmosis thru a Membrane
5. Observing Osmosis in a Plant Cell
6. Osmosis Challenge: Finding the molarity of a vegetable and Identifying Tonicity of Solutions
7. Osmosis Challenge: Finding the molarity of unknown sucrose solutions using osmosis
8. Cell-to-Cell Communication Demo

Identify testable variables

Hypothesis

It is my recommendation that you bundle your purpose/ID testable variables/hypothesis for each lab.

Graphs and discussion of Errors

Conclusion & Summary
Include but not limited to:
          Structure of cell membrane
          Functions of cell membrane as seen in labs
          How does diffusion/osmosis work?  As seen in labs (can use Egg Lab)
          Factors that affect diffusion (site examples as seen in labs)
         
Applications to real life
         Discuss importance of Diffusion to life functions (go back to chapter 1 for list of lifes properties)  Also include active transport.

Big Ideas
      They are all in there!!


NO EXTENDED INQUIRY LAB IS NEEDED FOR THIS LAB REPORT.

Diffusion and Osmosis labs...Keep up with the FLOW!

10/19--Cell Size Demo

11/5 Cell Diffusion and Osmosis Lab and Analysis Questions Due

What in the Cell is going on here??

With the successful completion of the Biochemistry Unit, we will now begin to investigate the functions of all those organic compounds.  It is important that you go through the functions of all the parts of the cells.

BioChemistry Unit

Carbs, Fats, and Proteins....Oh My!!!

We are beginning our Biochemistry Unit.  This is going to be one of the fundamental units for this course.  It is very important to learn the structures and functions of these macromolecules, for this will be the basis of the Cellular Processes unit which is to follow.  The date in parenthesis is the date I plan to talk about these molecules.  The biozones are Page : Questions.
