absorbance‚ which was used to calculate initial cell density. The caps on each of the samples were then loosened to allow movement of gas in and out of the tube. After a week of growth under fluorescent lighting‚ the tubes were inverted for mixing and measured for absorbance again. The values were used to calculated the corresponding final cell density. The calculations of initial and final density of cells were used to determine the algal growth rate of cells per milliliter per

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space

Coli bacteria. We began the lab by first obtaining two sterile microcentrifuge tubes‚ one was label “GFP+” while the other one was “GFP–” because this one served as a control meaning nothing goes inside this one. With gloves on 25 microliters competent cells‚ which is e. Coli bacteria compete in calcium chloride and heat shock was added to each of the microcentrifuges. Eventually‚ both of the

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound

called Alveoli. The alveoli are lined by a single layer of flat cells and supported by a mesh of fine elastic fibers. The alveoli are surrounded by a rich network of pulmonary capillaries (Couch and Berger‚ 2004). Our lungs are a network of connected tubes that bring oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste created when cells use oxygen (Natural Geographic‚ 2012). In experiment one I hypothesize

Anxiety Lab Report Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive anxiety‚ somatic anxiety and self confidence in two different situations; non-stressful and stressful. It is to examine the effects on anxiety of a simple golf putting task. The stressor used in this experiment can be described as situational‚ namely the stressor of social comparison‚ the type of stressor that leads many performers to question their own ability which in turn evokes symptoms

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly
