I’m not as glamorous as I might seem. I’m just an ordinary student in 10th grade‚ who likes to learn things. Others may be more charismatic or handsome‚ but I have something that they do not. I posses an essential life skill; initiative. You (as the readers from the National Honors Society) may think that what I am saying is absurd‚ but I am here to prove my worth one paragraph at a time. I am a well educated individual who has repeatedly demonstrated initiative and high standards of reliability

The purpose of the lab was to test how temperature will affect the rate at which starch hydrolyzed. In the experiment conducted‚ bacterium; Bacillus Licheniformis and the fungus; Aspergillus Oryzae was used to examine how changes in temperature of the enzymes affects the rate of the reaction with starch. Amylase is an enzyme‚ found chiefly in saliva and pancreatic fluid‚ that converts starch

Identification of A Mixed Culture Unknown An experiment such as this one serves the purpose of allowing us‚ the students‚ to apply what we already know about any organism and any laboratory procedure to the difficult task at hand. It is possible to identify a mixed culture by running familiar experiments on the unknown bacteria and taking information already known about specific bacteria and applying it to the results. This helps to slowly eliminate any bacteria that do not correspond with the

I assessed a patient with hip problem who came to the physical therapy department in the medical complex. After the clinical examination‚ i suspect there may be a Hip Labral tear that requires further investigations and testing to confirm the clinical diagnosis. i gave the patient a written note for his physician that suggests further diagnostic testing which may help to set an accurate diagnosis of the hip problem. His doctor wrote a letter back stating that the patient should have been at first

Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia In a clinical setting signs and symptoms can lead a care taker down a treatment path‚ but if a bacterial infection is suspected‚ a definitive answer from the “lab” is needed before prescribing medications. In this instance a yellow sputum was produced by the patient‚ which will be taken to the lab an analyzed under a microscope. There are three suspect bacteria‚ which are Bacillus‚ Mycoplasma‚ and Escherichia. A discussion of staining procedures‚ as well as

Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain

organism you think it may be. That is why eighteen different tests are performed so that you can compare your results with the table of possible unknowns. My unknown bacterium after performing the tests and comparing the charts is identified as Bacillus cereus. Bacillus cereus is a bacterium that grows best around 30-37°C. B. cereus cannot grow in high acidic‚ below pH of 4.5‚ or high alkaline environments of a pH above 9.3. You are likely to find this organism in the soil. This bacterium is able to form

INTRODUCTION Bacillus anthracis has recently become popular as the causative agent of anthrax infections. Belonging to the bacillus species‚ the bacterium is considered‚ along with Bacillus cereus‚ to be of extreme medical importance. Until recently‚ the condition caused by the bacterium was rarely heard of. Although the bacterium is naturally found in the soil‚ its rare occurrences in humans have only been observed in those working with livestock or imported livestock products‚ therefore the

I started out as an ignorant 7th grader who barely made AIME to a slightly less ignorant 8th grader who barely made USAJMO. In 7th grade‚ I did not even know what the nine-point circle was‚ and now in 8th grade‚ I am able to prove its existence. In 7th grade‚ I could not work with polynomials and roots very well‚ and now in 8th grade‚ I can use polynomials quite efficiently. In 7th grade‚ I failed the AMC 10 with a pathetic score of 123‚ and now in 8th grade‚ I was able to score well enough on the
