Just like living organisms, potatoes are made up of tiny, living units called cells. Each cell is surrounded by a cell membrane assisting in the transportation of molecules as well as protecting and keeping out harmful molecules. (Tucker, 2006) The reason certain potatoes gained mass while some lose over the 24 hour period is solely affected by the relationship between the concentrations of the solute in the cell verse the concentration outside the cell. As discussion in the introduction, the…

In 1945 Germany was defeated, after World War II ended the conferences of Potsdam and Yalta were held…

The organisms used in this lab are the Ascomycota fungi Sordaria fimicola. S. fimicola is made of haploid cells in a hyphae. A diploid cell is formed when two haploid nuclei bud off of the hyphae. This diploid cell then undergoes meiosis and mitosis forming eight haploid cells called a tetrad. The cells develop within an ascospore, and a group of ascospores is an ascus. An perithecia contains the asci (Glase, 1995). S. fimicola have a unique feature in their meiotic process which easily lends…

The hypothesis could be proven. If water is filtered through a pine dowel, then this permeable wood will filter the impurities out of the water through the process of osmosis. The water will pass through leaving the impurities behind. This experiment did prove the hypothesis however, it may have worked better if more time was allowed for most of the water to go completely through the wood, if the wood were less dense, and if the dirt in the water wasn’t so fine. In my experiment I observed that…

Heavy taxes were executed onto the peasant population of the empire and the construction of the Great Wall of China also took its toll on China’s economy. Since the Han Dynasty relied largely on the peasant population for production, the government, at first, removed heavy taxation of small land owners and imposed these heavier taxes on…

The gathering together of all states in China into unity by the king of the Qin state is among the most important events in China's history.
