Population Ecology: Clover Distribution and Density Method This lab consisted of the use of various materials. We used four orange flags in order to mark a 30x15m sampling area in which we collected our data from. To measure out the area‚ we used a thirty meter measuring tape and to determine the density (plants per meter squared) of clovers in the lawn‚ we calculated the total area of the plot (30x15meters squared). For this lab‚ a frisbee was used with the area of .053 meters squared as the

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=

Introduction: Living‚ microscopic‚ unicellular organisms can be identified as microorganisms. Fungi‚ Protista‚ Bacteria‚ and Archaeans are four kingdoms in the phylogenetic tree of life that consist of microorganisms. Amongst these microorganisms the prokaryotes were the first ones to arrive through evolution. The rest of the life forms as we see them evolved from these simple creatures‚ prokaryotes. The smaller prokaryotes were swallowed by bigger prokaryotes setting the stage for the origin of

the straw on top of the bromothymol blue indicator‚ the solution will turn the color blue into a yellowish-green color. When there is a presence of something that is acidic the BTB indicator changes its color into yellow/green. So in this case‚ the water with BTB and carbon dioxide exhaled into the flask creates a carbonic acid. As an aerobic activity increase than the carbon dioxide rate increases as well. 2. By exercising more‚ one’s body requires more energy in their muscles. As the exercise becomes

Yeast Population Dynamics Lab How Environmental Factors Affect a Yeast Population’s Ability to Reproduce OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to emphasize the influence that limiting factors have on a population. This lab tests yeast‚ a common component in baking‚ against two environmental factors (changes in temperature or concentration) to see what effect these have on the population dynamics of the yeast over a period of 72 hours. There are two sections of tests included in this

Osmosis Lab Report by Evan Gerber Claire Cambron First Lab Report Wednesday 10:30am February 20‚ 2013 Theresa Gburek Abstract The major objective of the experiment was to test the effect of the concentration gradient on the diffusion rate. It was hypothesized that the greater the stronger the concentration gradient‚ the faster the rate of diffusion would be. To test this‚ dialysis tubes were submerged in different concentration fructose solutions. We weighed the tubes at specific

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

Water has many unique properties that make life possible on Earth. One property is cohesion. The cohesion property is properly defined as the binding of water molecules by hydrogen bonds. Water has this property as a result of the chemical bonding between water. Cohesion of the strong hydrogen bonds allows the water molecules to stick together‚ almost as a unit of one. A force exerted on one of the molecules will be exerted on all of the adjacent molecules as a result of cohesion. Cohesion‚ often

AndrewGuerrero BIO 125 Lab Due November 14‚ 2012 Practical Exam 1. a. The symbionts (Paramecium) of the termite belong to the kingdom Protista b. Paramecium living in the intestines of termites breaks down the cellulose walls of wood fibers releasing proteins that are absorbed by the termites’ digestive system. Paramecium benefit by having an environment to thrive and they ingest the wood fibers for their own nutrition as well. 2. c. An important ecological effect
