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.…
Living organisms are made from cells. There are two types of cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus or membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells are more complex because they contain both. Plants and animals are made from eukaryotic cells, but they are different. Plants have a cell wall that provides more structure and the also have chloroplasts that help them carry out photosynthesis. Animal cells have neither of these. Stem cells are a unique type of…
