Susans Consulting Company (SCC) – Problem OverviewSusans Consulting Company (SCC) has been in business for ten years and has experienced a significant turnover in the project management group, which has prompted senior leadership to investigate. A preliminary review by senior leadership has determined that Project Managers are frustrated with the amount of required project management documentation, which has impacted their ability to manage projects successfully. A recent review of the project management process has determined that SCC has spent between 30-40% of its total project budget on projects’ overhead costs to include project management costs. A review of industry standards is between 5-15% higher than most companies. In addition, senior leaders found that projects are being delivered between 25% and 50% over budget and late 95% of the time.Note: Project Management overhead includes the PM’s time managing the project, attending meetings, and developing the required documentation.

For each of the tubing pieces, identify whether the solution inside was hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution it was placed in.

Data Tables and Post-Lab QuestionsTable 6: Sucrose Concentration vs. Tubing PermeabilityPost-Lab Questions 1. For each of the tubing pieces, identify whether the solution inside was hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution it was placed in. 2. Which tubing increased the most in volume? Why? 3. What does this tell you about the relative tonicity between the contents of the tubing and the solution in the beaker? 4. What would happen if the tubing with the yellow band was placed in a beaker of distilled water? 5. Osmosis is how excess salts that accumulate in cells are transferred to the blood stream so they can be removed from the body. Explain how this process works in terms of tonicity. 6. How is this experiment similar to the way a cell membrane works in the body? How is it different? Be spe­cific with your response. 7. If you wanted water to flow out of a tubing piece filled with a 50% solution, what would the minimum con­centration of the beaker solution need to be? Explain your answer using scientific evidence.
