Today, Atticus and I began a lab activity on the cell membrane and surface area to volume ratio. In the lab, we explored how a cell's ability to absorb enough nutrients is affected by its size. We observed differently sized cubes of egg white and soaked them in blue-dyed water overnight. We will cut them open tomorrow to see how far the blue dye penetrated the large and small egg white cubes and observe if the dye penetrated further into the small or large cubes.
