BIOL 112 Combined Study Guides for Exam – Fall 2012 Chapter 22 Study Guide 1. Briefly describe contributions of the following to Darwin: a. Aristotle: species are fixed and unchanging‚ recognized several affinities‚ or similarities among organism. Life arranged on ladder‚ most complex to least. Each form is perfected. i. In line w/ old testament view of creation b. Linneaus: developed binomial nomenclature system‚ nested classification system (KPCOFGS). Did not ascribe

This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s

the minimum‚ maximum‚ and optimum pH levels for growth of specific bacterial species. It was found that lower pH levels between 2 and 4 inhibited or promoted little to no growth for E. faecalis‚ S. epidermidis‚ and L. casei. It is evident that these bacteria were resistant to alkaline environments‚ however‚ it should be noted that certain mechanisms must have been acquired or involved in maintaining equilibrium within the bacterial cell. High alkalinity generally leads to physiological problems within

In the first experiment to investigate how E. coli survives in food‚ bacterial growth significantly differed between my group’s nutrient agar and MAC agar plates. In courgette‚ there was moderate growth in nutrient agar while it was heavy in Mac agar. In beef broth‚ there was slight growth in nutrient agar while it was negative in MAC agar. In fresh basil‚ growth was heavy in nutrient agar while it was heavy in MAC agar. Where cottage cheese was the ingredient‚ both plates had heavy growth. For walnut

know which group an unknown microbe belongs to on a general level. When a microbiologist needs to identify a specific bacterium‚ biochemical tests are used. PART ONE: GENERAL BACTERIA IDENTIFICATION Review the dichotomous key in Figure A‚ the bacterial shapes in Figure B‚ and the Gram stain information below. You will use all three to determine to which major group unknown bacteria belong. Gram Stain Results: Purple = Gram positive Red = Gram negative Neither purple nor red = No cell

Mechanisms of Silver Nanoparticle Action in Bacteria and Potential for Bacterial Resistance The antimicrobial activity of silver in general‚ and of silver nanoparticles in particular‚ is of significant interest because it appears to be independent of the strain of bacteria. Crucially‚ antibiotic resistant strains‚ MRSA (methicillin‚ or multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)‚ E. coli O157‚ and others are affected by silver [6]. The reasons for this are not fully clear as yet‚ but could be related

The films are set to air dry before wafting the slide gently on the Bunsen flame to fix and kill pathogenic bacteria. 4. The slide was place on a rack then the stain were apply. B.

Aldol Condensation: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone Aldol Condensation: Synthesis of Dibenzalacetone Leah Monroe May 15‚ 2003 Organic Chemistry Lab II Experiment performed on May 6 and 8‚ 2003 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. This was done by mixing the two reactants with NaOH and ethanol‚ then allowing the reaction to sit for thirty minutes. The crystals were then washed with

intentionally chose to breed among individuals. Antibacterial resistance is the process in which strong and highly resistant bacterial is selected against weaker bacterial. The selected bacterial then continue to reproduce and create a stronger bacterial population‚ which is resistant to antibacterial materials. Antibacterial resistance is the result of natural selection because the bacterial with highly adaptable
