The data collected from the number of each type of macroinvertebrate was calculated to determine the Modified Family Biotic Index‚ percent contribution of dominant family‚ and EPT Index number for each of the three collection sites. The number of organisms and families of macroinvertebrates along with the calculated data can be seen in Table 1. Other sets of data was recorded and compared to test the stream quality at Pricket’s Creek. The water temperatures (°C) were 16.76 ± 2.32 (mean ± St. Dev

Absorption of isolated chloroplasts To test absorption of isolated chloroplasts from spinach absorption readings were taken at a series of different wavelengths. Absorption Maxima of the isolated chloroplasts were observed at wavelengths of 440 and 680 with corresponding absorbance values of 0.792 and 0.589 were noted (Fig 1.). Absorption minima of the isolated chloroplasts was noted at a wavelength of 580 at an absorption of 0.291 (Fig 1.). This indicated that green light is reflected strongly
