In this insightful lab, students will explore the relationship between cell size and diffusion rates. The experiment aims to understand why cells are small by predicting which cube will experience the most diffusion. Students will follow a structured procedure to document their hypotheses, predictions, and experimental results. The lab emphasizes the calculation of surface area and volume, helping students see the significance of these measurements in biological contexts. Ensure to submit your lab sheet to Mrs. Liggett for credit and deepen your understanding of cellular dynamics!

Presentation Transcript

Diffusion & Cell Size Make up Lab - Make sure you get a copy of the lab sheet from Mrs. Liggett
Purpose: Why are cells small?
Hypothesis • On your lab sheet, using the correct hypothesis format state which cube you believe will experience the most diffusion.
Procedure • Using your lab sheet, read over what was done in class and then go back and state your prediction in the hypothesis section of the lab sheet.
Data Table in Procedure # 5 Fill this in on your lab sheet !
Postlab Questions • Answer on the lab sheet • Equations you need  surface area = h x w x 6 volume = h x w x d simplify the ratio to a #:1
For Credit • Hand in the lab to Mrs. Liggett!!!!
