The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from

Title of investigation: The effect of solute concentration on osmosis in potatoes. Research question: What is the solute concentration of a potato? Hypothesis: Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The osmosis continues until the solute concentrations are equal in both areas. In this experiment‚ we put pieces of potatoes into test tubes with sugar solutions of different concentrations and leave them there over night

Planarian Lab Report Hanna Klein Bishop Fenwick High School Planarian Lab Report Introduction Planarian worms are free-living flatworms that are not parasitic. Planarians have a three-cavity digestive system. Planarians are usually either carnivorous or scavengers. Planarians may eat other living‚ as well as dead‚ invertebrates‚ detritus or decaying organic matter. Planarians do not realize that are eating a lot‚ and can over eat resulting in death. Most planarians are freshwater forms that can

ABSTRACT The effect of inorganic cofactor such as Magnesium to the rate of respiration of yeast was determined using Durham tube assembly with the substrate glucose. After thirty minutes‚ the test tube with the cofactor in the form of Magnesium sulphate MgSO4 showed the higher amount of carbon dioxide evolved which was measurable through volume and was one of the by- products of cellular respiration. This stated that the higher amount of CO2 evolved‚ the higher the rate of respiration. Thus‚ the

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

determine if inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive. A spectrophotometer evaluated the measurement of color change over a period time due to product being formed. Determining unknown phosphatase and effects from different inhibitors were determined by varying the pH and substrate concentrations. The unknown phosphatase analyzed showed it was an acidic phosphatase. Ph 5 had the most enzyme activity and pH 9 presented 1/3 of enzyme activity‚ while pH of 11 had little activity. The Vmax of 0mM‚ 10mM

Osmosis is a passive movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this lab‚ we can determine the direction of diffusion of small molecules by measuring the diffusion of small molecules through dialysis tubing. This tubing acts as a selectively permeable membrane‚ and allow to pass larger molecules slowly. Introduction: Cells have kinetic energy and it causes the molecules of the cell to move around

determine concentration. Molarity is found by dividing the number of moles of a solute by the volume of the solution in liters. Multiple series of solutions with different concentrations can be used by diluting the concentration. The dilution technique is: Number Moles Concentrated Solution = Number Moles Dilute Solution. An instrument called a spectrophotometer detects the amount of light that passes through the sample and the percent transmittance can be recorded from the meter. In the lab‚ multiple
