ABSTRACT. In this experiment‚ we test factors which affect friction. We pulled a wood block across a surface to determine whetherthe surface area ofthe block orthe type ofsurface affectsfriction. We found that the surface area of the block did not change the coefficient of kinetic friction‚ while the types of materialsin contact were directly related to the coefficient of kinetic friction. INTRODUCTION Friction is a part of our everyday life. Nearly every movement we make involves friction

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

behavior is based on its response to evolution‚ ecology‚ social organization and sensory abilities of an animal (J.Morgan‚ Investigating Biology p.677). There are three types of behaviors: agonistic‚ orientation‚ and reproductive. Orientation is when the organism is placed in their beneficial environment consisting of two behaviors‚ taxis (movement directly towards or away something) and kinesis (random movement). Reproductive is detected using drosophila in this lab‚ it consists of finding courting

(3 points) Score 1. How do you calculate magnification on a microscope? Answer: The shortest lens is the scanning objective; you use it to locate the object on the slide. The medium-length lens is the low-power objective. The longest lens is the high-power objective. Multiplying the power of the eyepiece

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

Introduction: This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are
