28/09/12 Grace Masters Woodlice Behavior Experiment Aim: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the behavior of woodlice (Porcellio scaber) in regards to their change in speed. Variables: Variable How can it be controlled? (IV) - Light intensity - The light intensity will be controlled by the knob on the lamp throughout the experiment. In addition‚ the light intensity will be controlled by closing the windows and doors in the classroom as well as turning

Acids & Bases Lab Write Up Lab 2 Introduction There are many acids and bases all around us. An acid is known as a hydrogen ion donor (H¯)‚ and a base is known as a hydrogen ion acceptor (H⁺). Acids and bases are represented by the pH scale. The pH scale shows the strength that an acid or base has. This scale ranges from 0-14‚ with 0-6 being acids‚ 8-14 being bases‚ and 7 being neutral‚ such as water. This is defined as the negative log of an ion atom (pH=

Cellular Biology Lab – Homework #3 Due to the week of Nov. 10-14th You may use the lab manual‚ pre-lab lectures‚ and credible internet resources‚ however you may not use your cell bio lab classmates as a resource. You will most likely see this material again on the Final and I highly encourage you to work individually and seek help from myself or your TA.Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero. 1.

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely

Jennifer Anatomy and Physiology Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch. The enzyme that is being studied is amylase. This experiment is looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature the faster the hydrolysis of the starch would occur. The rationale behind this is that heat

larger; intensity of (4). The solution got a little warmer‚ but the difference in temperature was hardly distinguishable by simply touching the test tube. The reaction lasted about 10 minutes. 4. a) The hydrogen peroxide is used up and the manganese dioxide remains unchanged. Part two Title: Enzyme Function Purpose: To observe the role of enzymes in chemical reactions and to determine the kinds of cells that contain more of the enzyme catalase. Prior Knowledge: Enzymes are proteins that assist

Misael Acosta Photosynthesis Lab Report Ms. Rocha AP Biology 4th Period II. Intro/Background 1. In order for oxygen to be present photosynthesis must occur. Photosynthesis takes in light and CO2‚ and through a series of steps produces oxygen. Photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. Examples include the production of O2 or the consumption of CO2. All the oxygen within the leaf disks will be removed before being placed

Why are some colors of light more effective than other colors? Answer Photosynthetic saturation is the maximum rate of photosynthesis. What was the value for photosynthetic saturation in tomato leaves? Answer Light quality does not effect the rate of photosynthesis. Answer Based on what you know about photosynthesis‚ provide possible reasons for what causes photosynthetic saturation (these cannot be determined from the graph). Answer Which color

Lab Report (Effect of concentration on enzyme activity) Biology Noor Alawadhi 11- KC Introduction: An Enzyme is a protein‚ which is capable of starting a chemical reaction‚ which involves the formation or breakage of chemical bonds. A substrate is the surface or material on or from which an organism lives‚ grows‚ or obtains its nourishment. In this case it is hydrogen peroxide. This lab report will be explaining the experiment held to understand the effects of the changes in the amount of
