lab exam Flashcards
diffusion
movement of a solute particle from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
concentration gradient
a difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance.
osmosis
diffusion of water down its concentration gradient through a selectively permeable membrane
hypotonic
having a lower concentration of solute than another substance
hypertonic
having a higher concentration of solute than another substance
isotonic
having the same concentration as another substance
starch test
iodine turns black/blue/purple in the presence of starch
sugar test
benedict’s reagent turns green/yellow/orange/red/brown in the presence of sugar
chloride test
silver nitrate will contain a white precipitate in the presence of chloride
total magnification
objective lens*ocular lens
specimen length/width
calibrated value*number of ocular divisions
photosynthesis reaction
6CO2 + 6H2O + light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
respiration reaction
C6H12O6 + 6O2 –> 6CO2 + H2O + ATP energy
bicarbonate indicator
turns yellow with more CO2 (more acidic) and turns purple with less CO2 (more basic)
colony characteristics
size, shape, margin, surface texture, elevation, colour
colony size
punctiform, small, medium, large
