Final Solution

III. The Group as a System Systems Theory showed how each individual contributed and formed relationships within the group. We were a bunch of interconnected parts working together to form a whole. We each came from different backgrounds, different life experiences and personalities and this theory looks at how we all came together to be “Team Delta”. There are a few elements of a system that I will be hitting on as they pertain to our group, specifically: openness to environment, output…

Using salt solutions to observe osmosis in potatoes. D’OnJanea Washington Abstract In the lab we will be using potatoes. Potatoes are members of the family Solanaceae. Solanaceous plants originated in the new world, and the potato and its relatives were first introduced to Europe in the 16th century. The edible part of a potato, the tuber, is derived from the potato stem. It is rich is starch and has some protein just under the skin. These nutrients are stored in the potato and are intended…

compartment (with a higher concentration). In hypotonic solution, the concertation of a substance is larger within the cell; the cell gains water to dilute this concertation . in hypertonic solution, the concentration of substance is larger in solution than the cell. The cell will…

egg was removed from its solution, rinsed in tap water, and placed in a glass. Once in the glass dish, the dish was placed on a triple beam balance, and the final mass was measured and recorded. 29 Minutes after being submerged in tap water, observations pertaining to egg A (the egg submerged in tap water) were recorded, and the egg was removed from its solution, and placed in a glass dish, to be placed on the triple-beam balance. Once on the triple-beam balance, the final mass of egg A was…

letting the potatoes sit for a few days. The potato in the freshwater solution was soft and sticky, it could be easily squished it also had a bad scent because the potato had gone bad. However, the potato in the saltwater solution was firm and had become more narrow than before, it did not have a scent like the freshwater potato did. The solution that caused the potato to change the most in circumference and mass, was the saltwater solution. In the data table the potato in the fresh water had a…

It is expected that if the concentration of sucrose increases from 0.0 M, 0.2 M, 0.4 M, 0.6 M and 0.8 M (±0.01 g) in a 40 (±0.5) mL sucrose solution, then the average percent change in mass in Solanum tuberosum core will decrease. This is because if the Solanum tuberosum cores are placed in a hypotonic sucrose solution, which is described as having lower osmolarity, than the percent change in mass of the Solanum tuberosum core will increase due to the fact that water molecules will be moving…

If the solution is in an open container, Ψp is 0, so the water potential of the solution equals its solute potential. This equation will be used in the results section where we calculate the water potential of 3 plant species using the above methods. Variables The independent variables were the type of plant used (apple, potato, or yam) and the concentration of the sucrose solution. The overarching independent variable was the type of plant.…

class was interesting. The personalities were strong and people were clashing about what conflict we should do for our skit. Ben and I butt heads a few times, because he really wanted to do his specific conflict. Everyone looked towards me for the final verdict, and I respectfully said no, we could not do his conflict. That was the only major altercation that happened within the group. There was a power dynamic of girls versus the one boy in the group. The girls had a tendency to agree with each…

into the keyhole of room 715. A room that would be my home for the next year and a university that would be there for me for the next four. A mere 10 hours before that moment I was at home, getting ready to leave my house for my final day as a camp counselor and for the final day in Willow Grove Day camp’s sixty-two year history. I threw on my staff shirt and mesh shorts, grabbed a quick chocolate chip granola bar for the road, lathered up my SPF 30 lotion, compiled my backpack and waited for my…

• The facts that explain why you are concerned: Well, English is my 2nd language, and I’m re-taking this course (English 102) for the second time. I’ve been working hard in this class in order to pass it, but unfortunately, I couldn’t make it. Yes, I’ve gotten a couple of zeros on quizzes, which is my fault. And that one time where I didn’t know that we (students) aren’t allowed to use their own papers that they had before on a repeated class. I’ve been going to the writing center in almost…
