Exercise 1: Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid‚ such as water. Since virtually every living organism requires oxygen to survive‚ it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams‚ lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measure in units of ppm—or parts per million. Examine the data in Table 2 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally‚ answer

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens

AMDG THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS The Factor of Carbon Dioxide I. Introduction In this lab‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be measured by manipulating a variable that is needed for the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water to produce oxygen and glucose. This release of products provides the necessary nutrients for all forms of life. In water‚ leaves‚ usually float in water due to the gases such as carbon dioxide and

Acids & Bases Lab Write Up Lab 2 Introduction There are many acids and bases all around us. An acid is known as a hydrogen ion donor (H¯)‚ and a base is known as a hydrogen ion acceptor (H⁺). Acids and bases are represented by the pH scale. The pH scale shows the strength that an acid or base has. This scale ranges from 0-14‚ with 0-6 being acids‚ 8-14 being bases‚ and 7 being neutral‚ such as water. This is defined as the negative log of an ion atom (pH=

AP Biology notes: Chapter 2- The Chemical Context of Life 1. Overview * The bombardier beetle fights the ants that plague it by using chemistry. * The natural systems and environment that organisms live in involves chemistry and physics. * Biology is not the only category of science. There is also chemistry‚ physics‚ and engineering. * Organization of life is separated into a hierarchy of structural levels. 2. Elements and Compounds * Matter- anything that takes up

Cellular Biology Lab – Homework #3 Due to the week of Nov. 10-14th You may use the lab manual‚ pre-lab lectures‚ and credible internet resources‚ however you may not use your cell bio lab classmates as a resource. You will most likely see this material again on the Final and I highly encourage you to work individually and seek help from myself or your TA.Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero. 1.

Evidence of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process during which a plant’s chlorophyll traps light energy and sugars (glucose) are produced. In plants‚ photosynthesis occurs only in cells with chloroplasts. Water (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) and light energy are required. The light energy is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll‚ and is converted into chemical energy‚ which causes the water drawn from the soil to split into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen combines with
