Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab Purpose: To investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Gummy Bears are made of gelatin and sugar. Gelatin is a polymer that forms large three-dimensional matrices that give structural support to jellies and jams. Hypothesis: circle the response that you believe will happen. Record in lab journal â¢ If I place Gummy Bears in tap water, then the size of the bears will (increase, decrease, remain the same). â¢ If I place Gummy Bears in distilled water, then the size of the bears will (increase, decrease, remain the same). Materials: â¢ 2 plastic cups (8 oz) â¢ 2 aluminum screens (4âx4â) â¢ Distilled water
A: Buccal swabs are used to collect cheek cells from inside your mouth. These cheek cells provide DNA for HLA testing, which is used to determine a match between a donor and a patient. Buccal swabs provide the least invasive way of collecting DNA samples for HLA testing.: This method of collecting DNA is similar to what is seen on TV. However, the NMDP uses your DNA ONLY for HLA testing. HLA testing is used to determine an individualâs tissue type so it can be listed on the NMDP Registry where it will be matched against the tissue types of patients who need marrow donors.
