What are the Effect of Different Environments and the Movement of Pill Bugs? Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to analyze pill bug’s activity in different environments and determine the effect of wet/dry or dark/light environments have on them and how taxis takes place in their choices in living in areas. Background information: Terrestrial isopods are commonly referred to as sow bugs and pill bugs and have other nick names as well. These pill bugs are also related to lobsters‚ crabs and

DNA Extraction Lab Purpose: To compare the amount of DNA extracted from two different species‚ despite using the same method. Hypothesis: I predict that the liver will produce a higher quantity of DNA than the strawberry. This is because I believe that animals have a higher DNA yield because our structure is more complex than a plant’s structure. Materials: -Sample of Strawberries -Zip lock bag -DNA extraction buffer -Cold ethanol -Glass rod -Double ply cheese cloth -Two test tubes

Electrical Components and Circuits Course: PHY101 Purpose: The purpose and objectives of this lab was to be able to draw completed electrical circuits using the correct symbols for selected electrical components‚ including batteries and diodes. Another focus was to calculate the proper resistance using Ohm’s law‚ use proper electrical currents and quantities‚ and lastly measure voltage and resistance in an electrical circuit using a multimeter. Materials:

Bio Lab: The Effect of Exercise on The Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Ellie Cookson Communication: 2. As the graphs show‚ both breathing rates and pulse rates spike significantly between the resting rates and immediately after exercise. Average breathing rates went from 26.7 breaths/min at sitting rate to 46.4 breaths/min during or immediately after exercise. Pulse rates also increased quite dramatically‚ going from an average of 65 beats/min at rest rate to an average of 100.3 beats/min

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

extract DNA from a strawberry using limited household items. This was accomplished with the prior knowledge that the DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell‚ and that is an extraction buffer would be needed to acquire the DNA. This experiment had no control group‚ however‚ if there was a control group it might be a group with no extraction buffer. The independent variable in this experiment is the extraction buffer. The dependent variable in this experiment is the ability to extract DNA. The constants

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

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
