31 October 2011 Identification and observations of Citrobacter Freundii Introduction Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections‚ diarrhea‚ and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly‚ it is

et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away from the light source. In this lab the independent variable is the light

The main purpose of this lab is to explain what emulsifiers and emulsions are and how emulsifiers affect emulsion stability. An emulsion is a mix of to or more liquids that usually do not mix together. One liquid is evenly dispersed in small droplets throughout the other liquid. Many emulsions contain water as one of the phases. There are two different types of emulsions. One type of emulsion contains oil droplets that are dispersed within water. It is considered oil in water emulsion. The other

decrease the yield of yeast cells. This statement above is misinforming because antibiotics are used to kill bacteria‚ and yeast are not bacteria. Bacteria are prokaryotic while yeast‚ Saccharomyces cerevesiae‚ is eukaryotic. Yeast is used for fermentation to produce alcohol‚ and as well as to help give bread its shape (formation). Antibiotics have the same effect on both yeast and bacteria although they do not have the same structure. The experiment was carried out to compare the growth of cells

salt solution is 6.3grams and the 15% salt solution is 6.8 grams. My hypothesis was that the carrot would shrink and be very small and gooey‚ but it was wrong. The controlled variable in this lab is the carrot and time‚ the manipulated variable is the salt solution‚ and the resulting variable in this lab is what happens to the carrot. Materials and Methods: . Salt solution ( 0-15%) . 4 Carrot pieces from same Carrot( Cut carrot in half if needed) . 4 Beakers . Water . Triple beam balance

In the humus lab were were trying to find out if hydrogen peroxide would cause a reaction and show us the amount of humus in the soil by putting gas into a graduated cylinder with water to make the water level lower therefore showing us how much humus the material being tested contained. It showed that the sand was lacking humus but the mushroom compost was the most rich in humus. My hypothesis was correct because I predicted that the mushroom compost would produce the greatest amount of humus out

Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

6 November 2012 SUBJECT: Lab Report Analysis This memo proposes the observations and claims I collected from reviewing three different lab reports. Three fields of study are composed within this memo that includes Electrical Engineering‚ Environmental Engineering‚ and Petroleum Engineering. “Electrical Filters‚” (Electrical)‚ written by Joe Schmoe‚ is a lab report made by a student at a university. The College Board produced an environmental lab report named‚ “Monitoring Air Quality‚”

Session #1 Lab 1 OBSERVING BACTERIA AND BLOOD D Haynes BIO-218A Microbiology Lab Friday‚ January 17‚ 5:00pm Objective(s): Our objective is to gain knowledge of the functions and operations of the microscope through observation of bacteria and blood slides that are available for this assignment. We are also learning to “see” and observe various bacteria and their shapes as well as live yogurt cultures‚ blood‚ plaque and cheek swab samples and their arrangements. We

additionally helps in the transportation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen particles back to the lungs. Haemoglobin has the ability to bind to vaporous nitric oxide (NO) and in addition oxygen. As RBCs go through the slim beds of the lungs or other respiratory organs‚ oxygen is diffused into the erythrocytes and haemoglobin binds oxygen and NO. Haemoglobin at that point dumps its load in the vessels. There oxygen can diffuse into the body cells. The NO unwinds the dividers of the vessels‚ enabling them
