Investigating The Effect Of Carmine Particles On Distilled Water

Decent Essays
In exercise 1, experiment A, the students will need a microscope slide, a coverslip, a compound microscope, carmine powder, distilled water, and a pipette. The students will begin by placing a drop of water on the microscope slide. Then they will add carmine powder onto the slide. Then they will place a coverslip on top of the solution. This will aid in mixing the solution. Then the students will observe the movement of the carmine particles on low power and high power.

In exercise 1, experiment B, the students will need a rubber band, 30% glucose solution, starch solution, I2Kl solution, Benedict’s reagent, hot plate, 200 mL beaker, distilled water, 3 standard test tubes, disposable transfer pipettes, and 30 cm strip of moist dialysis tubing.
The students will begin by preparing the beaker in which the dialysis tubing will be placed. They will start by adding 150 mL of water to a 200 mL beaker. Then they will add enough drops of I2Kl to turn the color of the solution yellow.

They will do this by first folding one end of the dialysis tubing in an accordion style several times. They will do this first horizontally, then vertically. Then they will secure that end of the dialysis tubing by wrapping a string around it and tying it securely. Afterwards, they will open the opposite end of the bag and add 4 pipettesful of 30% glucose and 4 pipettesful of starch solution. Then they will mix the solution. Next the students will completely submerge the dialysis tubing in the beaker with both ends hanging out. They will secure the bag by placing a rubber band around the top of the beaker over the dialysis tubing. Then the students will wait 30 minutes till they observe if there was a color change in the

    Demonstration of the Relationship between the Surface Area to Volume ratio on the rate of Diffusion Introduction: The surface area to volume ratio determines the rate of diffusion, the larger it is the faster nutrients will diffuse. Phenolphthalein acts as an acid-base indicator, turning pink in bases like NaOH and being colorless in acids like HCl. Using agar blocks as cells, a model was made to measure the rate of diffusion of different sized pink agar blocks changing to colorless ones. Procedure:…

    Hannah Anderson Biology 111- Assignment #2-Properties of Water 1.) Hypothesis and Null Hypothesis: Hypothesis: Adding starch will keep from diffusing across the membrane. On the contrary, amylase will cause the starch molecules to break apart into smaller molecules of glucose allowing diffusion of glucose and Lugol’s reagent across the dialysis tubing. Null Hypothesis: Adding amylase to the beaker will have no effect on starch molecules and diffusion of the glucose and Lugol’s reagent across the dialysis tubing will not be present.…

    Aseptic Technique The principles of the aseptic technique are easy to understand, however, they are invaluable if a proper procedure is to be executed in such a laboratory setting. Primarily, to understand its importance, it must be understood what is aseptic technique. In essence, aseptic technique is the collection of procedures and steps performed to ensure both the cleanliness of the laboratory setting, and more importantly, the purity of the components used; that is to say, to ensure that no unknown contaminants such as bacteria or cells can compromise the procedures of the experiment (examples of such techniques include wearing the proper personal protective equipment, cleaning important surfaces with ethanol, and pipetting liquids in…
