Positive And Negative Controls: Questions And Answers

Decent Essays
1. Why is it necessary to have positive and negative controls in this experiment?

It is necessary to have positive and negative controls in this experiment to see how variables are affected; therefore, without controls there would be no way to now what would normally happen with the chemical reactants.

2. Describe the movement of each substance in the dialysis bag and the beaker.

The movement of glucose in the dialysis bag was that is crossed the dialysis membrane; therefore, it was found in the beaker solution. The starch solution on the other hand remained in the dialysis bag and was not found in the beaker.

3. Which substance(s) crossed the dialysis membrane? Support your response with data-based evidence.

Glucose was the

    We can use this explain the change of color being due to the exchange of electrons going on when the starch and iodine connected. 6. If a balance was available, describe how you could use it in this experiment and what the purpose would be. If there was a balance than you could use it in the experiment to show that an isotonic state is available.…

    In this lab the dialysis was used for the diffusion and osmosis of iodine, glucose, starch and water. However, starch was unable to pass through the membrane due to it being too large. This is where it does not fully resemble a cell membrane because it can not transform and undergo things such as endocytosis to allow all the molecules to pass through. Conclusion…

    In realizing the weaknesses of the control theory during my internship at the VWU, I would have to say that the power and authority that looms over many people’s heads in the court house is strikingly identifiable. The way in which the courthouse runs is what I would call “not user-friendly” to the average person. The parking is obviously set up for the elites (lawyers, judges, advocates, etc.), the “normal” people have to use the parking deck a few blocks away, if we were lucky to get a spot, regardless the majority of parking is $5.00. The judges and lawyers are extremely intimidating, in that they would rather ignore you than acknowledge you are in their presence. The people who are employed at the facility seem extremely judgmental (no…

    The hypothesis stated that sucrose, because the particle is too big to diffuse through the dialysis tube membrane, will remain it its beginning location. Sucrose in the dialysis tube will remain in the dialysis tube, sucrose in the outside solution will remain in the outside solution. Water on the hand possesses the proficiency to diffuse freely across the membrane. As osmosis state, water will move down its concentration gradient across the membrane (Tandy 2016). Referring to graph 1.2, the dialysis tube containing sucrose shows a gain in volume at 45 minutes will the distilled water tube reported loses in volume.…

    If we were to carry out this experiment again, we would brainstorm before the lab to point out any possible factors discrepancies that would hinder our results and try as best as possible to avoid those systematic errors. We would also tie the knots of the dialysis tubing closer to the edge because the 0.60M and 1.20M sucrose concentrated tubes looked like they were about to burst. The independent variable in the experiment would be the concentration of sucrose that goes into the model cells and the dependent variable would be the rate of osmosis through the semipermeable membrane. A controlled variable would be the amount of water that goes into the beakers.…

    The experiment that I will be conducting focuses on how fast one tablet of Alka seltzer can dissolve in various temperatures of water. The core of this procedure is to determine the impact that temperature has on how fast something dissolves. My hypothesis for this experiment would be that the Alka Seltzer that dissolves the fastest would be the one that was placed in the water with the highest temperature. There will be controlled and manipulated variables explained throughout the experiment. The two main things used in this experiment will be the solute and the solvent, which is Alka Seltzer and water.…

    The experiment and the control group are different in this experiment is that the experimental group is fertilized with Growmore. The reason why there is only one experimental variable so that i can test my hypotheses. If there were more than one variable we would not know which variable is causing the change. A control is necessary because we would not know the standard comparison on our experiment. A controlled experiment provide data to test our hypotheses and solve our problem.…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    In the United States, one out of every 100 adults is incarcerated (Collier, 2014, p. 56). Strictly based on this number, it would appear that America has a rather large criminal population that needs acknowledging. However, upon closer inspection, it appears that conditioning may hold some responsibility for this long-standing and self-perpetuating issue. If we observe and take into consideration how criminal behavior and attitudes can spread through learning, and how the criminal justice system as it currently stands is ill prepared to reverse these learned attitudes and behaviors, we may begin to understand the larger, more systemic, issues. Theoretically, there is strong evidence that shows how differential association can provide insight…

    According to our text, desistance is defined as “a person’s cessation of criminal activity or termination of a period of involvement in offending behavior (Schmalleger, 2012). ” Persistence is “a person’s continuity in crime or continual involvement in offending (Schmalleger, 2012).” Social control theory is “a perspective that predicts that when social constraints on antisocial behavior are weakened or absent, delinquent behavior emerges. Rather than stressing causative factors in criminal behavior, social control theory asks why people actually obey rules instead of breaking them (Schmalleger, 2012).” Social process theorists would utilize developmental pathways to explain that many children begin offending at early ages.…

    Society and the health care community’s perception of health has greatly evolved over the past few centuries. The 19th century was regarded as a century of linear ideologies, especially in the biomedical field (Ogden, 2012). Illness was seen as the result of an invasion that causes physical damage to the body. Humans were the victims of illness and not the culprit; illness was out of the individual’s control (Ogden, 2012). Medical intervention governed by medical professionals was the only appropriate way to overcome illness (Ogden, 2012 and Nettleton, 2006).…

    Data Analysis The scientific question for this experiment is:” Does the amount of baking soda added to vinegar affect the amount of CO2 produced?” “If more baking soda is added to 50mL of vinegar, then more CO2 gas will be produced,” was the hypothesis. The independent variable was the different amounts of baking soda. Therefore, the dependent variable was the amount of CO2 produced.…

    “The control balance theory states control imbalances produce deviant and criminal behaviors, and has two distinct elements: the amount of control one can exercise over others and the amount of control one is subject to by others” (Siegel, Ch. 9-5b). Gypsy Blanchard was being controlled by her mother De De (Clauddine Blanchard) for a majority of her life, until she killed her sometime in June. Gypsy was controlled in various ways and was forced in a world of lies and exploitation. “She was said to chromosomal defects, muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, severe asthma, sleep apnea and eye problems” (Dean).…
