Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

for the plant. Also‚ overwatering can kill the seed by drowning it and making its tissue fragile to rotting‚ not even growing the plant. From these researched observations‚ it can be assumed that the in-between amounts of water are favorable to the growth of the seed and plant lifespan. Hypothesis: The intermediate amounts of water will grow the plants the best‚ since too little water won ’t grow the plant much and too much will drown the seed. Method: To begin this experiment‚ you need to

Necrotizing Fasciitis is a bacterial skin infection that is caused by one or more bacteria that enters one’s skin through a cut or wound. It can be fatal if not treated in time. Necrotizing Fasciitis is commonly known as the ‘flesh eating infection’ that occurs suddenly and spreads extremely fast. It corrodes the skin and the tissue beneath it. It can be caused by one or more bacteria‚ for example Streptococcus pyogenes‚ Kebsiella‚ Bacteroides and more. Approximately 700 hundred cases are recorded

and identification of Bacterial isolates An enrichment culture technique was used for the isolation of bacteria responsible for biodegradation of phorate in soil. Screening of these bacterial species for phorate degradation in liquid cultures in our previous study (Jariyal et al.‚ 2014)‚ resulted in identification of bacterial species B. aerophilus strain Imbl 4.1 ‚ Brevibacterium frigoritolerans strain Imbl 2.1 and Pseudomonas fulva strain Imbl 5.1. However‚ these bacterial species‚ causing complete

Microbial Growth of Consumable Products By Bryce Wilmott AIM: To calculate the quantity of observable microbial colonies on the surface of the Agar solid‚ as to determine the presence of microbes in consumable products i.e. yoghurt and blue vein cheese. HYPOTHESIS: Microbial growth will be present in two of the three Agar plates (those containing the food product) due to the suspected presence of microbes‚ whilst the control Agar plate (containing no food products)

Abstract This experiment analyzes the effects of how temperature affects bacterial and fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which
