detection, antibiotics have been diversified into many different forms and classes which are arranged by mode of action. Glycopeptides are a class of antibiotics which are composed of glycolsylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptides that inhibit cell wall synthesis in susceptible bacteria (2). However, it was soon discovered that the use of these antibiotic drugs would lead to antibiotic resistance. This paper will discuss the history, function, and resistance associated with vancomycin, a glycopeptide

It also plays a part in helping cells keep their shape. Cell walls, along with cellulose, provide support for plants so that they can grow tall while maintaining their shape. The size of the plant will determine the amount of cellulose it will need, but all plants require some
Investigating the Effects of Different Concentrations of Sucrose Solution on Potato Cells Aim: to investigate the different effects of various concentrations of sucrose solution on potato cells. Introduction: Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. Osmosis happens when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a selectively permeable membrane. A selectively permeable membrane has holes in it which are just big enough for water molecules to pass through, but not the
Both animal and plant cells undergo osmosis. The results of the cells vary due to the movement of water from high to low concentrations. Hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic solutions all results with in the cell. In the animal blood cell experiment, the cell under goes a hypotonic solution in which water moving from the outside of the cell to the inside of the cell causes the cell to swell up and burst this processes is called hemolysis. In the plant cell experiment, the cell under goes, a hypertonic
Osmosis Experiment Experiment to investigate how equal masses of potato are effected in different concentrations of 1molar sucrose soloution. Aim: To investigate if osmosis occurs in potatoes, and if so, how it affects potatos of equal mass (2.5g) in different molar solutions of sucrose and water. Apparatus: -Cutting tile which will be used to cut the potato on. -Knife which will be used to peel the potato with and to cut to correct mass. -Burette which will be used to measure
Osmosis in Plant Cells Aim To investigate the effects of changing the sucrose concentration on osmosis in plant cells. Plan Water passes into cells through a special type of diffusion called osmosis. Water molecules diffuse through the membrane from a weak solution into a strong solution until the concentration is the same on both sides. A membrane that allows only certain molecules to pass through is called a semi-permeable membrane. In a plant, water passes from a weak cell sap solution to
1.0 INTRODUCTION Fungus exists in a form of mycelium or can occur as sclerotia, a resistant structure. The production of additional hyphae and asexual spores, conidia are due to the germination of the sclerotia. The product then will be freely introduced in the soil, water and air. Fungi that are being introduced into body of water which subsequently change the taste and odours of the drinking water. Drinking of the infected water will cause fungal infections in human. Despite through water, human
concentration (Major Differences). Tonicity is the ability of a solution to ?alter the internal water volume of a cell? (Difference Between Solution, 2013). An isotonic solution should keep their normal shape; the osmotic pressure outside the cell has the same pressure within the cell. A hypotonic solution, are more dilute and contain a lower concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than cells. In contrast, a hypertonic solution have a higher concentration of
polymers accumulate within secondarily thickened walls, making them rigid and resistant. Lignin evolved when plants began adapoting to terrestrial life. Lignin was needed to provide them with structural support that is needed for erect growth. Recent studies have shown the presence of lignin in the marine red alga, Calliarthron, which diverged from vascular plants more than one billion years ago (Vanholme et al. 2010). Lignin is a major component of the cell wall in vascular plants and provides support for
Investigating Osmosis in Potato Chips Planning Introduction: the definition of osmosis is the movement of water particles from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. Aim of investigation: I am trying to find out how external concentration of liquid surrounding a potato chip affects it - does it increase or decrease in mass etc. Method, diagram and equipment: Diagram of experiment Equipment · 5 Boiling tubes · weighing scales
The continuous depletion of fossil fuel resources and their increased demand has changed the outlook from ancient resources of fuel to new resources especially biomasses of plant origin. Plant biomass is a promising raw material for fuel generation to sustain fuel requirements in the modern age. Basically biofuel these days can be divided into first generation and second generation depending upon the type of biomass used. Biofuel derived from sugars, oils, cereals, sugarcane and starch are categorised
effects on Plant & Animal Cells In order to understand the concept of the three solutions; hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic, used in the experiment one must learn to understand the concept of how and why molecules move by processes of osmosis. As conducted, this hands-on experiment will help you examine water molecule movement when exposing the plant cell that make up the potato to be either hypertonic or hypotonic solutions. Although, plant cells have rigid cell walls external to the plasma membrane
level the cylinder will contract, and if the concentration is less than that it will expand." Aim 1. To investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of sucrose solution on the rate of osmosis in potato cells. 2. To investigate the internal concentration of potato cells in terms of sucrose solution. Hypothesis For this investigation I think that the lower the concentration of the sugar solution in the test tube the larger the mass of the potato will be. This is because the
rigid cell walls in which is accountable for the shape of the organism. Within the cell wall of the bacteria it identifies whether the bacteria is gram positive or negative. In the cell wall there a lot of difference that determines the bacteria is gram is positive or negative for example the thickness and the amount of peptidoglycan later presences or absence of outer membrane and teichoic acids. Where gram positive have two later and negative has three layers. Gram positive the cell wall is a
The duration of the experiment also affects how much water is gained/lost by osmosis as the longer the duration is, the more osmosis would take place (osmosis would stop as soon as it reaches an equilibrium of water content inside and outside the cell. I will only change the concentration of the solution as my aim is to find out how the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis. To make it a fair test I will test each concentration three times and use the average. My tests will be
Investigate the effects of different concentrations of salt solution on potato cells Introduction Osmosis is the way in which many living things take up water (source: GCSE Biology for You). During osmosis, water moves from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane. This membrane allows water molecules to pass through easily, but does not allow solute molecules to do this. The movement of these water molecules gradually dilutes the solution
Investigating Whether a Sugared Solution Has an Effect on Potatoes Osmosis is the passage of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. In this case, Osmosis applies to our practical because we are trying to see if a sugared solution (sucrose) has an effect on potatoes. I aim to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip
The hypothesis that states that “if pectinase and cellulase are added into different containers of applesauce, then pectinase will produce the most apple juice because pectin, which is very abundant in applesauce, is broken down by pectinase to make apple juice” is supported by the data. According to the data, when water was added to applesauce, the amount of apple juice created on average was 8.2 ml. When cellulase was added to applesauce, the amount of apple juice created on average was 8.26

Data Analysis Does the mass of a substance, borax, sugar, or Epsom Salt, affect how wide a crystal will grow? The hypothesis is,”If crystals are grown in borax, then the crystal will have a bigger width than the crystals made with Epsom Salt and sugar”. In this experiment, the independent variable is the mass of the substance added to water, such as borax, sugar, or Epsom Salt. The dependent variable is the width of the crystals after having seven days to form. Some control variables are using
