The purpose of this paper is to help analyze or compare pigments from two organisms. Chromatogram is the pattern that the chromatography paper has created from its substances. A retention factor‚ also abbreviated as an Rf value‚ is the measurement of the distance that the sample had traveled. The formula for an Rf value is migration distance of solvent front divided by migration distance of substance. An Rf value is the distance the pigment travels from the original spot‚ which is the dot‚ of solvent

The effect of light quantity on photosynthesis of green land plants Introduction Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy (Hoober 1984). Pigments within chloroplasts‚ primarily chlorophyll‚ absorb the incoming solar energy which excites their electrons (Hoober 1984). These pigments exist in photosystems in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast (Ladiges et al.2010). As the electrons return to ground level‚ they are captured by the electron acceptor in the

Less ringed replicas would be attacked‚ because the milk snakes would become more of a prey 25. You could do a lab experiment on the snake attacks and change what the models look like. Such as ring size or color combination to see what they attack more or less.

Shannon Yeh October 28‚ 2013 Animal Dentition Laboratory Assignment (Figure 1.) Tooth Sharpness (degrees) (Figure 2.) Relative Tooth Width (mm.) Results: The dental formula is a convention used by mammalogists to determine the tooth number and tooth arrangements. The dental formula is calculated by counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars present in the upper jaw (one side) and counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars

The effect of different coloured lights on the rate of Photosynthesis Objective: To find out which colour of light provides the best consequences for the production of oxygen/ the rate of photosynthesis Background: In photosynthesis‚ there are two main parts‚ including light dependent and light-independent reactions. Plants use the energy from light for producing sugar‚ which is being converted into ATP by cellular respiration. They also are the only organisms that produce oxygen along with glucose

IB Biology HL Y1 15 January 2009 The Effect of Humidity on Transpiration in Plants Problem/Aim How does placing a plant in a more humid location for 50 minutes affect its rate of transpiration? Introduction Transpiration is the loss of water from a plant‚ mainly through the stomata of leaves. Darkness‚ internal water deficit‚ and extremes of temperature tend to close stomata and decrease transpiration; illumination‚ ample water supply‚ and optimum temperature cause stomata to open and increase

was then examined under the low power of the microscope. 8) After the banana tissue was examined with the high power of the microscope‚ a labeled drawing of one cell was made. Discussion: Starch is a polymer of alpha-glucose. It is formed in plant cells from glucose and is stored in the form of grains. As it has compact and insoluble molecules‚ it is an ideal form in which to store glucose molecules and these can be reformed by hydrolysis later when needed. Starch is a mixture of two types

------------------------------------------------- Enzyme Pre-Lab Harry Kang 9/26/12 1) The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate of enzyme activity under variety of different conditions‚ such as‚ different amount of drops of enzymes and different temperature of water. The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with‚ 1.5 ml of H2O2‚ 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops‚ to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction
