EXPERIMENT 2 Measurement of g: Use of a simple pendulum OBJECTIVE: To measure the acceleration due to gravity using a simple pendulum. Textbook reference: pp10-15 INTRODUCTION: Many things in nature wiggle in a periodic fashion. That is‚ they vibrate. One such example is a simple pendulum. If we suspend a mass at the end of a piece of string‚ we have a simple pendulum. Here‚ the to and fro motion represents a periodic motion used in times past to control the motion of grandfather and cuckoo

Organic Lab 2 February 14‚ 2009 Experiment 4: Borohydride Reduction of 2-Methylcyclohexanone Introduction: When learning about reduction reactions‚ we know that the addition of nucleophilic hydride anion (H-) to the carbonyl group will in turn result in the reduction of aldehydes to primary alcohols. Borohydride‚ and Lithuim aluminum hydride are commonly used as reducing agents. We can note that both of these reagents have a (H-) anion‚ hence it will be a powerful base and also take the

Introduction Allozyme analysis is a technique which is used in study of genetics because it reveals the genetic variation that exists within a wide range of organisms (Gómez‚ 1998). Allozymes are different forms of an enzyme expressed by alternative alleles on the same gene locus (Micales & Bonde‚ 1995). Analysis of these allozymes can be done by protein electrophoresis. Protein electrophoresis involves the movement of proteins within an electric field with mobility being dependent on factors such

Stinson‚ Margie Biology 210 Lab Questions: Phylum Annelida You will learn the answers to most of these questions in class and in lab. Great resource: http://www.bumblebee.org/invertebrates/ANNELIDA.htm 1. What does the word annelida mean? 2. Recall‚ some of the nematode worms appeared superficially to have external rings. Describe true segmentation in annelids. How is the true segmentation in annelids differ from having rings around the ectoderm as in nematodes? 3. What two layers

Title: Catalase enzyme detection Objective: To understand the function of catalase in cells that produce the enzyme‚ interpret the results of a catalase test and know their value in differentiating bacteria. Materials: 1 clean microscopic slide‚ 3% H2O2 solution‚ swabs. Micrococcus luteus‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ patient G Procedure: 1) Scrape some cells off from each bateria to the slant and place them on glass slide. 2) Place one or two drops of H2O2. Watch for bubbling as an indication of

Lab Practicum‚ Micro 200‚ study guide When you did your hand wash experiment‚ you decided a variable to test‚ say‚ hot vs cold water‚ you called this variable an “experimental variable” since it was the variable you were testing experimentally. In order to get meaningful data‚ you need to keep other things the same‚ for example the washing time had to be the same for both‚ you called the washing time a _Control_______ variable. Through the semester‚ you have used two bacteria that produce

Enzymes- reduce the amount of energy required for the reactions they catalyse [accelerate]. -thus‚ increasing the rate of reactions that occur in living organisms. WITHOUT enzymes : metabolism would be so slow at body temp. that insufficient energy would be available to sustain life. -Many enzymes are “Intracellular”- used within the cell that produced them e.g. enzymes in respiration & photosynthesis -Others are “extracellular”-they act outside the
