“Scorched earth. Abandoned farms. Skies black with dust. Houses buried under great dunes of earth. Decades after the drought and depression of the 1930s ended‚ images of the Dust Bowl are still familiar to millions of people worldwide” (Wesson.) That is what a normal day during the 1930’s was like. Back then people farmed to get their profit‚ especially in the southern plains of the U.S. People’s lives revolved around farming. If they didn’t get their crops planted on time‚ there wouldn’t be food

Genetic transformation of Escherichia coli with pGLO (Adapted from: Biotechnology Explorer: Bacterial Transformation: The pGLO System. Instructors Guide. BIO-RAD). Objectives a. To understand one of the most commonly used techniques for introducing DNA into E. coli cells and its use in molecular cloning. b. To become familiar with the concept of using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a molecular tag for studying gene expression in bacteria and other organisms.

AP BIOLOGY Lab 5 Cellular Respiration Objective: To calculate the rate of CR from the data. To then relate gas production to respiration rate. Then test the rate of CR in germinating versus non-germinating seeds in a controlled experiment and then test the effect of temperature on the rate of CR in the germinating versus non-germinated seeds in a controlled experiment. Analysis: 1. The CR is higher in the germinating peas in the cold water rather than in the beads or non-germinating peas

Helicopter Lab (Print and Due Monday) Problem: If we change the length of a paper helicopter’s wings‚ what length of wing will make the helicopter fall slowest? Hypothesis: If we increase the length of a helicopter’s wings then it wall fall slower because the wings will spin slower. Procedure: Materials: • Scissors • 3 Paperclips • Stop Watch • Ruler (metric) • Helicopter paper template(5cm X18cm) Step by Step: 1.) Gather Materials

Lab 6.C Hypothesis: If enzyme activity is affected by the pH of a solution‚ then the enzymes will experience the greatest activity at a pH of 6. Variables: Independent Variables Dependent Variable Controls Four different pH values (10‚ 7‚ 6‚ and 3) Change in color of the solution The amount of potato extract‚ pH solution‚ and catechol used (1 cm +/- .1cm) Size of the test tubes Amount of time allowed for the catechol to sit with the potato extract and pH solution (20 minutes with 5

to have in the body. A substrate is the material that is being broken down. In this case‚ the substrate would be hydrogen peroxide. The catalase‚ located in the liver‚ is being used to break down the substrate. Problem The purpose of this lab is to see if the enzyme‚ catalase‚ can be manipulated. We are testing the effects of pH‚ temperature and enzyme concentration. Hypothesis Controlled When we add peroxide to the liver it will bubble a lot and break down faster. When we add peroxide
