Background information: Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane to create an equilibrium between the levels of concentration of a solute both inside and outside the cell. In this case the solute will be sugar as the potato core will be immersed in sucrose solution. There are 3 potential states that the cell could be in depending on the type of solution: Either the

    pre-exercise carbohydrate feeding on endurance performance at High-intensity Carbohydrates are one of the main fuel sources of energy. Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), disaccharides (sucrose) are referred as sugar molecules. Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism work together to provide ATP and energy for exercise (Baker et al, 2010). Skeletal muscles use fat and carbohydrate for energy. Therefore, at high exercise intensities, fat does not

    openings. (Capillary Action) As the solvent moves past the spot that was applied, an equilibrium is established for each component of the mixture between the molecules of that component which are adsorbed on the solid and the molecules which are in solution. When the solvent has reached the top of the plate, the plate is removed from the developing chamber, dried, and the separated components of the mixture are visualized. If the compounds are colored, visualization is straightforward. Usually the compounds
