Q

figure statements

A

1) give the graph a title that describes what you are measuring and what process (should be different than axis and tell you about experiment
2) write a few sentences on the instruments used/ samples that you are measuring ex bag A contains 2 percent sucrose solution

16
Q

does particle movement change with heat

A

heat increases the motion and more collisions occur

17
Q

molecular weight and diffusion

A

less weight should diffuse faster and further

18
Q

small molecules

A

sodium ion, hydroxyl ion and iodine pass through the semipermeable membrane because they are smaller moleculesq

19
Q

osmosis requires

A

a steep free energy gradient

20
Q

what caused the curves for bags in osmosis to become horizontal

A

increased pressure in the bag

21
Q

how to find concentration of solute in cell based on microscope

A

if the cells don’t lyse, it is that concentration, on graph, the line would be horizontal

22
Q

permeability of cell membrane

A

very permeable to water

23
Q

what causes plants steps to be crisp

A

turgor pressure due to adequate water in cells

24
Q

how do cells stop lysis

A

they have rigid cell walls

25
Q

how is data statistically significant

A

if the 95% confidence intervals don’t overlap

26
Q

_________ are molecules like enzymes and self splicing RNA.

A

biological catalysts

27
Q

Brownian motion explains diffusion;

A

molecules hit each other until they become evenly distributed

28
Q

rate of diffusion depends on

A
  • concentration
  • size
  • temperature
  • density
