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 #2 QUESTIONS PART A: ENDOCRINE GLANDS OF THE HUMAN 1. Complete the following chart: Please see the attached chart for the Endocrine System. 2. Explain the mechanism of communication‚ control‚ and integration in the endocrine system. The Endocrine systems mechanism of communication is sending messages from the cells of the endocrine and nervous system to the cells in other systems by releasing hormones. The Endocrine systems control feature is part of negative feedback because it

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

Evolution Lab “Evolution by Natural Selection” The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population‚ and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining

Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently

The hypothesis for this lab was that Core B will be the least flexible due to a loss in water. Unfortunately‚ my results led my hypothesis to be incorrect. The results that were received was that Core C was the most flexible‚ Core B was somewhat flexible‚ and Core A was not flexible and stiff. Core A was the most non-adjustable due to it being hypertonic which means that the total concentration of all the dissolved solute particles is greater than the other solution. Core B was isotonic meaning

DESIGN: Research Question What effect does varying the alcohol concentration of yeast have on its fermentation? Introduction Fermentation is the stage during which most CO2 is produced. When no oxygen is available‚ yeast will switch to an alternate metabolic pathway utilizing sugars for energy and producing‚ primarily‚ CO2 and ethanol. Yeast divides rapidly in this phase‚ reaching its carrying capacity (about 50 million cells/ml) in the wort‚ or must‚ and remains suspended

NT1110 Lab 7 Task 1: Hardware firewalls provide a strong degree of protection from most forms of attack coming from the outside to the internal network. Hardware firewalls can protect computers on a local area network and they can be implemented without much configuration difficulty. Software firewalls are installed on individual computers and they need sufficient configuration to be effective. Software firewalls contain a set of related programs‚ usually located at a network gateway

experiment we compared the hemagglutination reaction of control Con A solution at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer with the hemagglutination reaction of your own purified Con A sample that you diluted previously at 2 mg/ml in Con A buffer. The purpose of this lab was to determine the strength of the reaction by performing serial dilutions on both the Con A sample and the control Con A sample‚ and determine through observations whether or not addition of galactose or mannose will inhibit this reaction. I hypothesize

Effect of Enzyme and Substrate Concentration on Reaction Rate by Zachary A. Poché Biology 155 Laboratory October 15‚ 2014 Lab Partners: Cade White‚ Hannah Ragas‚ Russheka Aremillion ABSTRACT In order to increase the reaction rate‚ substrates attach to the active site of enzymes which decrease the activation energy required to convert substrates to products. We examined the effect of enzyme concentration and substrate concentration on the overall rate of the reaction. To determine
