Permeable Membrane Semi Permeable
1,935 wordsI chose to experiment with the effects of salinity changes on the polychaete, Nereis succinct. Along with the other members of the group, Patty and Jeremy, I was curious to see whether the worms would engage in adaptive behavior when placed in a tank of water of foreign salinity, or whether they would simply continue changing osmotically until they reached equilibrium with the environment. The first step in our experiment was to simply observe the worms and get a "feel" for the ways in which the...

In the case of PIH, the late deceleration types will most likely be the pattern seen due to the compromised utero placental blood flow. Another risk associated with preeclampsia points to the propensity for decreased maternal renal blood flow due to vasoconstriction. Vasospasm, with the resulting decrease in blood flow, leads to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), decreased clearance of uric aci...

Active Transport Membrane Potential
2,258 wordsEffects Of Solutions On Ion Transport Across Membranes Abstract Concentration gradients exist between two different salt molarity solutions on opposite sides of a membrane. Movement of ions across these sides can be achieved by either active or passive diffusion. In our first three experiments we used these concentration gradients to determine the characteristics of selective permeability of an artificial membrane to potassium chloride (KCl), the potential difference across the skin of a frog, R...

Mental Retardation Mentally Retarded
3,168 wordsRunning Head: Cognitive Impairments The definition of mental retardation is made up of three classifications. The onset must be recognized before the age of 18, the individual must show deficits in adaptive behavior and have a sub-average intellectual level. (Wong, D. , 1995) General intellectual function is determined by IQ, which is measured with one or more standardized and individually administered intelligence tests. Mental retardation is not based solely on IQ. Adaptive function must be si...

Sodium Chloride Permeable Membrane
2,568 wordsScenario Plants in the soil have their roots in a dilute solution of mineral ions. When they are suddenly flooded with seawater, concentration of which is 0. 3 molar Sodium Chloride, they are observed to wilt and become flaccid. Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of plant cells by osmosis. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers as they provide a ready supply of uniform material. Background Information Any substance dissolved i...

The current problem is that a 1922 compact for dividing the Colorado River assumed it would flow nearly 17 million acre-feet per year to be divided between 7 states, 20 million people, and 2 million acres of farmland. Currently, the Colorado is flowing at only 9 million acre-feet per year. And 1. 5 million acre-feet are for Mexico every year. The upper basin states (Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah) believe that the lower basin states get too much of the water. T...
