After taking four different samples of microbes from the environment and swabbed them in two different plates one with nutrient agar and the other with sabouaud dextrose agar. After the microbes had incubated for 48 hours no results were discovered from the swabs we had taken from the environment. This lab further investigates the different swabs

Separation Of A Dye Mixture Using Chromatography ********* AP Chemistry (3rd Block) Fauquier High School 8/ 31/ 13 ABSTRACT: The Rf values of seven known color dyes and three unknown samples were observed in order to compare results and discover the hidden identities of the three samples. Three solvents‚ H2O‚ Isopropyl alcohol‚ and a 2% NaCl solution‚ were introduced to the dotted chromatography strips to show three different ratios for each dye on

Adriana Rempson Mrs. Steeger AP Biology-7 10 October 2012 Transpiration in Plants Abstract: Our group wanted to see how transpiration would happen in plants when they were in different environments. The different environments we used were humidity and room environments. We measured transpiration using the whole plant method. Our results showed that the plants in a humid environment had greater transpiration rates than the plants in the room environment. Introduction: Pants absorb and

The Effects of Environmental Stimuli on Animal Behavior AP Biology Emily Olsen April 26‚ 2012 I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to test the effect certain stimuli has on the behavior of a terrestrial isopod. These bugs are more commonly known as pill bugs and potato bugs. The objective of this experiment is to determine which kinds of habitats potato bugs favor. Potato bugs have an innate behavior called taxis which will cause the animal to move away from a stimulus that is unwanted

Introduction Enzymes are proteins that are involved in all the chemical processes in living things. As they are made of proteins they are affected by pH and temperature. Enzymes are catalysts; they speed up chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of large food molecules into smaller ones so that the blood can absorb them. Enzymes turn a large starch molecule into thousands of tiny glucose molecules. Enzymes end in ’ase’. There are thousands of

AP Lab Seven Genetics of Organisms Dan Torres AP Biology Block 1 January 24‚ 2011 Introduction & Background Fruit flies have made a huge contribution towards knowledge about genetics‚ but for most people‚ they are just annoying insects that are attracted to their fruit. Their scientific name is Drosophila melanogaster‚ and to scientists‚ they have been a key to understand many principles of heredity including sex linked inheritance‚ epistasis‚ multiple alleles‚ and gene mapping. Fruit

varying temperatures are targeted towards being at 10ºC‚ 20ºC‚ 30ºC‚ 40ºC‚ and 50ºC. It is highly improbable that each trial for each of the 5 different temperatures will be the exact temperature that was targeted‚ so it’s just important that you end up having a temperature fairly close to the targeted temperatures so that the rates of reactions that you do receive are as correct as possible. The rates of reaction will be obtained using an apparatus that will guide the carbon dioxide gas being produced

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of acetic acid in vinegar by using 0.1 M HCl and NaOH solution. By performing three titrations to determine the concentration of the base‚ the concentration of the acid was determined to be 0.600 M. It was possible to determine its concentration by standardizing the sodium hydroxide solution used for the first three titrations and by using phenolphthalein to indicate its equivalence point. In conclusion‚ although there were

Abstract There are many methods employed to precipitate proteins out of solution. In this experiment we manipulated many physical and chemical variables in order to achieve purification of a protein via precipitation. In the first part of the experiment we purified the protein casein by modifying it’s pH. In the second part of the experiment we manipulated the ionic strength of albumin in egg whites‚ in a process called salting out. By manipulating these chemical properties we were able to

Review Pg. 159 DNA is made of only four subunits‚ which are known as nucleotides. The four parts types of nucleotides adenine‚ thymine‚ guanine‚ and cytosine and they each have slightly different shape. Each of this contain three different types of materials a sugar‚ a phosphate‚ and a base. A and T pair together to form a DNA molecule and G and C together form a DNA molecule. The shape that Rosalind images were was a spiral shape. DNA unites all organisms’ means that DNA is the main
