couple of key things about lab safety and procedure during this experiment. While working with the hot plates‚ I learned to pay a lot of attention to whether or not the hot plate was plugged in or turned on‚ as well as whether or not the wax was getting too hot. Measuring each substance into the cup was an important experience because it taught me to be deliberate and careful when measuring so as to not waste materials‚ making sure we did not have to start over. While this lab is a good starting point

Lab: Investigating Soils Observations/Data Record the observations and/or data you collected here. Describe the color‚ feel‚ and appearance of each soil sample. Sample 1: Play ground sand: khaki colored‚ feels rough‚ has more sand than rocks. Sample 2: Potting soil: black/brown-ish colored‚ feels some what soft‚ has little pieces of bark (woody stem‚ branches‚ and roots of plants.) Sample 3: Backyard soil: Orange-red‚ feels lumpy‚ muddy look alike. What is the texture of each soil sample

Experiment 21: Salmonella and food contamination Purpose /Objective Objective: To test salmonella in spinach sample over five lab periods. Food contamination of salmonella can cause serious illness. Only small numbers of salmonella need to be found for a food product to be considered contaminated. Tests used Pre-enrichment- lactose broth Selective enrichment broth- with Tetrathionate Brilliant Broth Selective Plating- Brilliant Green Agar Isolation of salmonella conformation- is preformed

Abstract Photosynthesis is a food making process for algae and plants. The photosynthesis process rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate

This lab activity will go over environmental factors that affect the folded structure of proteins. We used a raw egg and noted the changes that happen when there were changes in temperature‚ pH levels‚ and salinity. Five eggs were cracked open and placed into different bowls with different solutions placed into each bowl. What we looked at was the process of denaturing of proteins seeing how it affected the composition of the raw egg between the yoke and white portion. My hypothesis for this experiment

Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the
