Exercise 1: Correct Use of the Scientific Method and an Experiment with Macromolecules I. Objectives In this lab‚ students will: a.) Learn how to utilize the Scientific Method to develop a testable hypothesis b.) Generate an effective experimental design from a hypothesis c.) Understand the chemical differences between different macromolecules and how these differences can be used to design tests for each molecule. d.) Identify macromolecules in solutions using chemical analyses. e.) Practice

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

Introduction: This investigation used spectroscopy to evaluate light absorption in different solutions. A spectrophotometer was used in the lab to determine these values. A spectrophotometer is an apparatus used to “measure the absorption of radiation in the visible and UV regions of the spectrum and allows precise at a particular wave length” (Jones et al.‚ 2007). The amount of light absorbed by a substance is directly in relation to the concentration of the solute and also the wavelength moving

Lab 1 : Scientific Method 20 Table 2: Water quality vs. fish population 1. Based on the information in Table 2‚ (in the lab manual) what patterns do you observe? 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

Will the current horizontal cabling suffice for the new network? If it will not‚ what type of cable should be used for the horizontal cabling? Provide detailed specifications for this cable. (10 points) The current horizontal cable will work with the new network. The only issue with the current cabling is there should be no cables laying on the floor. All

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

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) In the event of a chemical splash to the eyes‚ flood the eyes for at least 15-30 minutes with water. Flush from the eye outward. If you were not wearing proper eye wear‚ a chemical could splash into your eye and would make it necessary to use this. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Used in order to put out a small fire. If a small area of the lab caught
