Cellular Death: Tonicity on Potato Cells Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to test the effects of tonicity on potato cells. During this experiment slices of a potato were placed into beakers containing salt solutions with different concentrations. How will the percentage of salt concentration in solution affect a plant cells water content? This experiment will determine which salt solution concentrate will cause the potato cells to absorb water or lose water. Tonicity in…

Results Table 1 showed that oral administration of Diclofenac sodium at 150mg/kg.b.w. resulted in a significant increase in renal tumor necroses factor -α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO) and thiobarbaturic acid reactive substances (TBARS) compared to the normal control group (p< 0.01). Rat receiving extract of any of the two doses of cranberry extract used in this study (75 and 150mg/kg.b.w.) showed a significant decrease in renal TNF-α, NO and TBARS compared to the group that received Diclofenac…

3.5. Effect of surfactant Span80/Span85 (3:1) on Ni (II) extraction Span80/Span85 are playing an important parameter and determine to appropriate surfactants can be obtained through the stability of emulsion liquid membrane for Ni(II) extraction. Span 80/Span85 as nonionic surfactants. Figure (9).The study of the efficiency of the highest extractants and reached to 98.7% after studying the surfactant concentration of span 80/span85 (3:1), the surfactant ratio an important in extraction of Ni…

Some physical and chemical properties of watermelon rind and sharlyn melon peel powders Proximate composition WAC, OAC and antioxidant activity of watermelon rind and sharlyn melon peel powders Data in Table 2 showed that the watermelon rind powder had higher moisture, ash, fat, protein and carbohydrates (10.61%, 13.09%, 2.44%, 11.17% and 56.02%, respectively) as compared to sharlyn melon peel powder. On the other hand, the sharlyn melon peels had higher content of crud fiber (29.59%) as…

Abstract In this study, a CO2-respensive GM-AD-HA hydrogel derived from electrostatics crosslinks and supramolecular bond will be produced and studied about its mechanical properties and physiological performance. It is expected to have application in restoring cartilage and controllable delivery of Epirubicin Background of research Hydrogels have crosslinked microstructure and can swell up in water without resolving. Their soft and rubbery nature minimizes inflammatory reactions of the…

Cutin,Waxes and Suberin Definition: There are lipophilic barriers in all plants that prevent the water loss and manage the movement of, solutes, and gases.Cutin waxes and suberin are these lipophilic barriers. (1) (2) Introduction: Cuticle is the protective and waterproofing covering that covers the plant organs and prevent water loss and entry of microorganism.Cuticle structural component is cutin. Suberin also act as a fence for the pressure from the environment and cutting and is formed…

4.5.3 Texture Acceptability of Mushroom Soup In term of texture, the acceptance of particle in soups was determined (Table 4.3). Generally, soup prepared from freeze dried powders had higher scores for acceptability of 4.47 ± 1.10 than oven dried and vacuum dried powder that varies between 3.80± 1.06 and 4.47± 1.43. However, there was no significant difference (p> 0.05) among the soups prepared with fresh mushroom and powders in the respect of texture. The lower texture acceptability of oven…

There are six principles of pressure. One will explain each of the six principles of pressure. Also, state why it is important that the fire and emergency services personnel understand these six principles. The first principle is stating that the water is trying to burst out, therefore, it pushes and applies pressure to all confining contacting walls within a system. Water will behave differently in open containers than in confined spaces of firefighting systems (Sturzenbecker, Adams, &…

Conclusion The hypothesis stating if certain stimuli (light, darkness, bran flakes, and apple slices) are placed in a chamber near a group of ten mealworms, then during 3 minutes a portion of the mealworms will have moved towards the stimuli, was refuted by the data showing how zero mealworms migrated into the stimulus chamber, during any point in any of the trials using each of the stimuli and the one trial without using a stimulus. Discussion The student designed experiment to investigate a…

Introduction:The objective throughout the semipermeable membrane experiment was to test the permeability of the caterpillar's intestine. Through this experiment one would be able to observe a transverse of small molecules through the cell membrane. Question: Were starch and Lugol’s molecules able to cross the membrane? Hypothesis: If there is a presence of glucose among the fluids in between the intestine and circulatory system then there is to be a breakdown of starch molecules within the…
