Increment in temperature / production of CO2 or O2 consumption would hence be good indicators for the experiment. 1) Hypothesis [What other statements can I make‚ other the ones they mentioned about in the preview of the experiment?] 2) Procedures a) Weigh a mealworm and record its mass (0.61g). b) Set-up: Put 5 NaOH pellets into an Eppendorf tube. Place in inverted into a testtube. Place a layer of netting over it. Put the mealworm into the test tube. Put into water bath. Make

Spatula * Heating plate * A test tube cleaning brush * Tray * Beaker * Distilled water * Pipette ( comes with reagents since they are in bottles) Method/Procedure: Step #1: poor the solution into four different test tubes Step #2: In the first test tube put a few drops of a reagent called "biuret". If the solution turns purple‚ then the solution contains protein. Step #3: In the second test tube‚ put a few drops of a reagent called "Iodine". If the solution turns black then

the four different pigments types of a leaf. As the filter paper with the solvent will separate the pigments in terms of solubility‚ a clear segmentation of each is expected to show off. As various chemicals were used in the whole process of this lab‚ certain variables might have influenced the results in terms of the purity of each chemical or purity of the used filtrate. Background The chloroplast‚ basically‚ is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis. Structurally it is very similar to

aim of this study is to modify knowledge of genes and enzymes for carotenoid biosynthesis in plant and also put some light on the challenges that are currently being faced by plant developmental biology and biotechnology. What is the author’s hypothesis? Was it supported or refuted by their research? [2 marks] The author’s hypothesis was that‚ “ Carotenoids protect photosynthetic organisms against potentially harmful photooxidative processes and are essential structure component of the photosynthetic

Theories of Biology pg.1 The major theories of biology are evolution of natural selection‚ biological classification‚ inheritance‚ cells‚ bioenergetics‚ homeostasis‚ and ecosystems. Evolution by natural selection is a process that occurs over successive generations. Inheritance is a theory of how characteristics of one generation are derived from earlier generations. Cells theory is that all organisms are composed of cells and that all cells come from preexisting

Biology coursework: Substrate specificity in yeast AIM: To find out which substrate (glucose‚ starch‚ maltose‚ sucrose or lactose)‚ does yeast‚ the organism containing the enzyme‚ breaks down the quickest. Introduction: Usually‚ every enzyme has a specific substrate that is what we call the “lock and key” theory. We can try the reaction of an enzyme with different substrates and this enzyme will just work well with one of those substrates. One type of reaction catalyzed by enzymes is anaerobic respiration

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species

Biology revision -keeping healthy Diet and Exercise What should a balanced diet include? Carbohydrates‚proteins‚fats‚vitamins‚minerals‚fibre‚water. Don’t get enough of these? Become malnourished. How much energy do we need? The energy you need depends on various things : 1. Gender- Males need more energy then females‚ Bigger size‚ have a bigger ratio of muscle to fat than women. 2. Age- Young people are still growing‚ they are reproducing and are more active (exercise) than old people
