(2) being able to apply that understanding of the microbial world so that the benefits to the Earth and humans are known(6). This lab specifically does not require the knowledge of what each organism does when introduced to another living organism‚ like a human. Figuring out the type of bacteria could help with further experiments. The idea of the unknown bacteria lab is to show

Behavior of Gases and Absolute Zero Determination Lab Report Experiment 4 Introduction In this experiment we measured the relationship between temperature‚ volume‚ and pressure. Objectives: Conduct a set of experiments‚ each of which illustrates a gas law. Gather data to identify the gas law described by each activity. Complete the calculations necessary to evaluate the gas law in each activity. From your results‚ derive a single mathematical relationship that relates pressure‚ volume‚ and

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Title- Protista Lab Concept- the concept of this lab was to explore what is in the pond water as living organisms and try to identify what it is. Some types of Protista are multi-cellular like giant kelp. Although they look much like plants‚ multi-cellular protists lack specialized tissues. Being eukaryotes‚ they have a membrane-bound true nucleus with linear chromosomes‚ and they have membrane-bound organelles. The kingdom Protista contains all eukaryotes that are not plants‚ animals‚ or fungi

Catalase Lab Purpose: To observe the effects of hydrogen peroxide on living tissue and non-living materials‚ showing the presence or absence of catalase as observed by the presences of bubbles. Hypothesis: If we pour H2O2 on certain substances‚ the catalase will break down and bubbles will appear at the surface. Data table: Name | Time | Observation | Raw Potato | 1 min. 30 sec. | Slow reaction‚ barley any bubbles. | Raw Liver | 5 min. 30 sec. | Extremely fast reaction‚ very foamy‚ Big

Human ECG Abstract The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore‚ the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as‚ in the right and left ankles. Finally‚ the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate. Introduction

Alyssa Caparelli Organic Chemistry 12A Professor Alston October 28‚ 2014 Isolation of Chlorophyll and Carotenoid Pigments from Spinach Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to isolate ß-carotene‚ chlorophyll-A‚ and chlorophyll-B from spinach using column chromatography. Spinach was dehydrated using ethanol‚ and the pigments were extracted with dichloromethane. The spinach extracts were dried using CaCl2. Then‚ the solid pigments were run through a column using a non-polar solvent‚ hexane

Goal(s): To study the effect of concentration on the rate of a reaction‚ and to find the order of the reaction in each reactant and write a rate equation. Background Theory: Chemical reactions occur at different rates that ultimately depend on their concentration‚ the temperature‚ the usage of catalysts‚ the nature of reactants‚ like the surface area of the particles. Concentration‚ for instance‚ increases the number of molecules or particles in a certain volume‚ so collisions will become more

not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg
