2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What classes of biological molecules are most readily

Analysis Questions: Cycles of Matter 1. Explain the role of decomposing bacteria in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. In the carbon cycle‚ decomposing bacteria release carbon from the decaying bodies or waste into the atmosphere. Without them‚ it won’t be able for any organism to access the carbon stored in dead bodies. In the nitrogen cycle‚ decomposing bacteria breaks down animal waste‚ which creates ammonia and nitrate products rich in nitrogen. Although no animals or plants cannot directly

Photosynthesis is the process of transforming light energy into chemical energy that is used to build carbohydrates. Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast‚ sunlight and water are the substrates for this reaction. The conversion of light energy can go through two pathways: noncyclic and cyclic. In noncyclic light transport‚ both Photosystems II and I are involved producing ATP and NADPH. Photosystem II absorbs 680 nm of light energy‚ with the oxidation of water; chlorophyll

are carbon‚ phosphorus‚ sulphur and nitrogen. Bacteria play crucial role in recycling phosphorus‚ sulphur and nitrogen. This essay covers sulphur and nitrogen cycles. Nitrogen Fixation The fixation of the nitrogen is crucial for the terrestrial plants. Nitrogen fixation in other words is the process of conversion of atmospheric nitrogen in to a form that growing plants can use. A little number of conversion occur in lightning strikes‚ all the rest is done by bacteria. Nitrogen fixation is done

An ecosystem is a biological environment consisting of all the organisms living in a particular area‚ as well as all the nonliving or abiotic‚ physical components of the environment with which the organisms interact‚ such as air‚ soil‚ water and sunlight. In a typical ecosystem‚ plants and other photosynthetic organisms are the producers that provide the food. (Leibold) Ecosystems can be permanent or temporary and they usually form a number of food webs. Examples of ecosystem include: Marine Ecosystems:

for organic carbon percentage. The deepest layer showed the highest percentage of organic carbon at 47% and the lowest organic carbon percentage (23%) was found at 15cm (Figure 3). Organic carbon stored in lake sediments is mostly dependent on the amount of productivity in the lake at that time. During photosynthesis‚ diatoms are able to turn carbon dioxide into organic carbon which generates oxygen. However‚ since the shells are heavy the diatoms that die will take the carbon out of the

1. How plants grow and develop? Just as humans have essential needs for survival‚ all plants require several basic elements to grow and thrive‚ including… Soil minerals (the more nutrient-rich the soil‚ the better the plant will grow) Water Air (carbon dioxide‚ hydrogen and oxygen) Sunlight Proper soil temperature Proper air temperature How much a plant needs of each element initially depends on the plant’s original habitat. For example‚ a rainforest plant that requires consistently moist and warm

process that occurs in the cytosol/cytoplasm. It breaks down glucose into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. Key terms: glucose‚ glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) Activation: Substrate-level phosphorylation adds 2 phosphate groups to glucose. Uses 2 ATP molecules and produces fructose 1‚6 – biphosphate. Lysis: The 6-carbon molecule (glucose) turns into G3P and DHAP (the dhap is converted to G3P). Basically split into two 3-carbon molecules of G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate). Oxidation: G3P is oxidized by
