Emad Abid Dr. Fuller AP Biology 13 August 2014 Animal Behavior of Isopods 1a) Do terrestrial isopods prefer to stay in a cold or warm environment that is in a neutral (room temperature)‚ mild‚ or extreme temperature difference from room temperature? 1b) If the isopods prefer to be in a mildly warm environment‚ then when they are randomly placed between a warm and cool chamber with only one warm and cold pack (mild temperature difference) on each end of the chamber and are able to move freely‚ they

Osmosis Lab Report by Evan Gerber Claire Cambron First Lab Report Wednesday 10:30am February 20‚ 2013 Theresa Gburek Abstract The major objective of the experiment was to test the effect of the concentration gradient on the diffusion rate. It was hypothesized that the greater the stronger the concentration gradient‚ the faster the rate of diffusion would be. To test this‚ dialysis tubes were submerged in different concentration fructose solutions. We weighed the tubes at specific

With the evolution of animals living on land from animals living in the water‚ many changes needed to be made in order for survival. Each problem that these organisms may have experienced in the past has been dealt with a solution of some manner. One of the main problems was water storage. Because organisms in an aquatic environment are surrounded by water‚ they do no experience problems with water storage‚ but without an aquatic environment there are bound to be problems. The land organisms need

Practical 1- An experiment to observe the features of an Onion Cells Method: Gather all equipment that will be used for the experiment and check that they are clean and undamaged. Using forceps‚ peel the membrane from the underside of a small piece of onion. Place the membrane flat on a clean‚ glass slide and add one drop of iodine solution. Use a pin to carefully lower the cover slip over the slide‚ ensure there are no air bubbles before the use of the slide. Set the microscope to its lowest

Muscle Cell at rest: As the muscle cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV. The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine binds to a receptor on the muscle

Water has many unique properties that make life possible on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

“Scientists have recently proposed a reorganization of the phylogenetic system of classification to include the domain‚ a taxonomic category higher than the kingdom category.” A. The three-domain system allows for the conclusion that the previous five kingdoms were more connected than was believed. Out of the five previous kingdoms: Animalia‚ Plantae‚ Protista‚ Fungi‚ and Monera‚ four of the five kingdoms were placed in the same domain- Eukarya. The one remaining kingdom was separated into

FRQ #3 a.) The first property of water is its polarity. A water molecule is formed by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity of the oxygen atom creates an unequal sharing of electrons between the O and H atoms of the molecule. This also gives water the ability to form hydrogen bonds between the slightly negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive hydrogen atom. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this‚ water requires

Biology Lab Scientific Paper Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms during pregnancy and how the baby’s body functions as it grows in the womb and after birth. Usually‚ a baby is born with 46 chromosomes but babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes‚ chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is trisomy. Down syndrome
