LAB Report #3 Introduction: In this lab we have focus on Isolation of bacteria from environment. Microorganisms are found throughout the environment: in the air and water; on the surface of any object such as clothes‚ walls‚ furniture; in soil and dust; and on and in our own bodies (skin and mucous membranes). In order to demonstrate the ubiquity and diversity of microbes in the environment‚ samples from immediate areas of the environment and/or from your body will be obtained and cultured

Damage of Beet Cell Membranes Caused by Different Temperatures Resulting in Betacyanin Leakage By: Trevor Sandum‚ Lab 2‚ March 9‚ 2013 Introduction: A red pigment called Betacyanin located in the vacuole of the beet cells is released when the membrane is damaged (Danyk‚ 2013). The membrane is necessary for sustainability of the cell’s life‚ it separates the cell from the outside environment‚ and is responsible for diffusion‚ exocytosis and endocytosis‚ and transport. It

Observing Membrane Structure and Observing Effects of Chemical stress on Membrane Crystal Eve Lopez‚ Dr. Barua Madhabi Keywords: beet root model system‚ spectrophotometer‚ betacyanin‚ cellular membrane‚ phospholipid Abstract The cellular membrane separates and protects the cell acting almost as a wall. Depending on what stressors there are the cellular membrane can become damaged. The objective of this experiment was to examine the structure of the cell membrane using the beet root model system

of Beet Root Sarah Hsu Y 11 Hope Purpose The beetroot experiment is to investigate and understand the affect different temperatures have on cell membrane structures. Hypothesis The higher the temperature is‚ the higher the rate of absorbance of the cell membrane will be. Variables Controlled Variables | Independent Variables | Dependent Variables | The length of the beetroot placed into the test tube. | The temperature of the water bath. | The absorbance of the cell membrane of

Cell Membrane Transport ZOOL 2011.19 A. Introduction: Cells are the most significant building blocks of all living things. They are also the tiniest living organisms in the human body which provides structure for the body and intake nutrients that become energy. Cell membranes control what goes in and out the cell‚ it protects it. The lipid bilayer describes the membrane of both animal and plant cells where the properties that make up phospholipids are very important

LSM1102 Lab Report Introduction Transformation is a process which involves plasmid DNA being bound to the cell surface and the subsequent uptake of DNA by the cell (Panja et al.‚ 2008). For artificial transformation of E. coli cells with plasmids‚ plasmid DNA has to be extracted from bacterial cells using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit‚ which is then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin)

Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs
