Medical Sciences. Wiley‚ Chichester. APPENDIX- Safety Assessment 1. General Aspects Gloves must be worn at all times to protect from pigment staining. Safety glasses must also be worn throughout the lab to protect the eyes from chemicals. Potential injury may arise from razor blades and cork borers. Lab coats must be fully fastened to protect clothes from staining. 2. Chemical Hazards The solvents (acetone and methanol) should not be inhaled as it can cause damage to mucous membranes. They can also

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

Big Idea 2 Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow‚ to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Living systems require both free energy and matter to maintain order‚ grow and reproduce. Organisms employ various strategies to capture‚ use and store free energy and other vital resources. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms; they also can cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Biological systems must both

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

For this lab‚ the expected outcomes are that when the heart rate and blood pressure are measured‚ both will increase when the heart has to pump against gravity‚ after exercise the heart rate will increase then return to normal‚ and as the subject inhales‚ it will be lower than when they exhale. Methods For this lab report‚ the laboratory manual (2009) was used for all labs. While completing lab five‚ electrodes were hooked up to the subject. After calibration for this lab‚

The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right
