Jennifer Hauss March 4‚ 2015 Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Introduction In this lab‚ the goal was to transform the bacteria e-coli to glow in the dark (or under a black light). Four plates were set up with agar in them for the bacteria to feed on and grow. Changes were then made to the bacteria. One plate was the control plate‚ having only the LB or agar for the bacteria and negative pGLO‚ which is the liquid not containing the plasmid. This is the plate that was compared with the three others

Glowing Bacteria Lab Introduction- 1. Transformation involves the transfer of genetic information into a cell by directly taking up foreign DNA from its surroundings. This DNA is then incorporated into the host cell’s own DNA. This transformation usually occurs within plasmids‚ small circular DNA molecules separate from its chromosome. After the recipient cell is infected with the DNA‚ the cell will move on with replication‚ producing offspring with traits encoded by the plasmid. These plasmids

Water Pollution Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water such as ponds‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ rivers and even groundwater. Water pollution is mainly caused by many human activities‚ which can be harmful to animals and plants which live in these bodies of water are located. Nature also takes its toll on water pollution such as volcanoes‚ severe storms‚ and earthquakes also cause major changes in the quality of water. Water is typically considered to be polluted when it’s impaired

The importance of water Water is one of the weirdest compounds known to humans. The difference between the boiling point and freezing point of water is one of the largest ranges of any compound. It is this span of temperature that mirrors the range of where life can exist‚ from bacteria to humans. Water also has a very high specific heat‚ which means that it can absorb or lose much heat before its temperature changes. This is important in maintaining body heat in mammals. It also takes a lot of

an environmentally-safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer). Using advanced technology it is now possible to re-use sewage effluent for drinking water‚ although Singapore is the only country to implement such technology on a production scale in its production of NEWater[2].

com/kids/stories/spacescience/water-bottle-pollution/ Tap vs. Bottled Water Bottle water versus tap water‚ which is better for our health; is a question most people find themselves conflicted on which to choose. We have a fascination with bottled water. Somehow‚ somewhere‚ someone decided the tap water was not good enough for us‚ and along came the obsession that water in a bottle was better for us. Most of us would agree that the argument for drinking bottled water is basically the taste and there
