TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

Lab Report: Exercise 10: Organization of Nervous Tissue Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To understand the structure and function of multipolar neuron‚unipolar and bipolar neurons. Also to identify the structures of a nerve. There are no safety concerns for this lab. Step 1: Relates to Lab Exercise 10/Activity 1‚ 3‚ and 4. Assignment 1: Write a brief description

II. Genetic variation is accounted for in Meiosis I due to crossing over. No formal hypothesis was made due to the fact that this lab was a simulation and observation of prior knowledge. The lab did not go as expected for prophase was supposed to be the second longest phase in exercise 3A but Metaphase ended up with the higher percentage (Table 3.1). Because this lab was solely based on observation‚ there was little space for error‚ but as mentioned above‚ metaphase ended up with the higher percentage

dependent on each other (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Strong evidence suggests that different types of photosynthetic cyanobacteria underwent endosymbiosis that evolved into different types of photosynthetic eukaryotes (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2012). During eukaryotic evolution‚ red algae and green algae led to five supergroups of eukaryotes through a process of secondary endosymbiosis (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Three basic photosynthetic pigments: chlorophylls‚ carotenoids‚ and phycobilins‚ each absorb

substrate fits the shape of the active site‚ the enzyme will alters its shape so the active site embraces the substrate and maintains a firm grip‚ known as induced fit. This allows for great variations of enzymes. Abstract In this experiment‚ my lab partners and I tested how time effects a catalase reaction. The amount of hydrogen peroxide was recorded after the reaction for the certain time given has taken place. We used sulfuric acid to stop the reaction with the catalase from occurring. This

Summarize the concepts that you used in the lab (1-2 paragraphs). For lab 11‚ I used the concept – Stellar Evolution. It is the process of showing a star changes over the course of the time. Also‚ it relates to the mass‚ ages‚ sizes of the stars. Also‚ I used the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram concept to classify the stars and find the Main Sequence. When the stars are hotter and more luminous‚ they main sequence tends to follow a band going from the bottom right to the top left at the diagram

Aim: 1) To determine the effects of different salt concentration on the percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) The eyewash fountain is used to rinse chemical splashes off the eyes. They are used by rinsing the eyes 15 to 30 minutes with water. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Fire blankets are used to extinguish small fires. They are used by covering the small fires with the blankets until it extinguishes. c. Shower (2 points) Safety showers were made to eliminate any

Evolution Lab A. 1. a. The default value of 20 cm of rainfall is relatively low compared the range that the island may receive‚ which is anywhere between 0 cm to 100 cm. b. From an average of 20 cm of rainfall I would expect more hard seeds to be produced. 2. a. The beak size of 12 mm is relatively shallow compared to the available range from 10 mm to 30 mm. b. The shallow beak size of 12 mm is not suited for the hard seeds that are available because of the low rainfall of 20 cm.

Part I: Pre-Lab Diffusion/Osmosis Pre-Lab Introduction: Dialysis tubing allows molecules to diffuse through microscopic pores in the tubing. Molecules that are smaller than the pores can diffuse through the dialysis membrane along the concentration gradients. Molecules that are larger than the pore size are prevented from crossing the dialysis membrane. Answer questions in complete sentences. For problems‚ show equations and work with units and appropriate significant figures. Part IA: In the following
