Introduction: When the body exercises‚ it uses two types of fuel‚ carbohydrates‚ and fatty acids. At the beginning of exercise the main source of fuel is carbohydrates‚ however the duration of the exercise progresses the carbohydrates deplete and fatty acids are needed to maintain the exercise. The type of fuel being used can be seen in the ratio called‚ respiratory exchange rate‚ or RER. An RER of 0.7 means that carbohydrates are being used for fuel‚ and a ratio of 1.0 means that only fatty acids

Respiratory system is composed of nose‚ larynx‚ pharynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi‚ bronchioles‚ pleura‚ alveoli and diaphragm. The Circulatory system consists of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ arteries‚ arterioles‚ veins‚ venules‚ capillaries and blood. In this lab‚ we will only focus on the circulatory system. The heart is the main component of the circulatory system because it is responsible for supplying oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the tissues‚ removing wastes and carrying out the carbon dioxide outside

Osmosis Lab Report Hypothesis: Osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The higher the solute in solvent‚ then there will be a higher rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand how each offspring inherits its genotype and how its phenotype reflects it. Sex chromosomes determine the sex of the offspring‚ and the autosomes consist of all the other chromosomes that determine phenotypic traits. Dominant traits are the genes that are expressed‚ while the recessive traits are masked by the dominant traits. We used Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)‚ mutating the female fruit fly with a scalloped gene to change the phenotype

Title: Effects of Light on Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is the complex process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to make carbohydrates by using light energy in green plants. The objective of this experiment is to measure the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: The petri dish that is exposed to the most light and with the NaHCO3 solution will have the best results and the petri dish that is kept in the dark will have the poorest results. Material and Methods: 1. Get 4

Separating Substances: Identifying Food Dyes with TLC Background The color of food is an integral part of our culture and enjoyment of life. Who would deny the mouth-watering appeal of a deep-pink strawberry ice cream on a hot summer’s day or a golden Thanksgiving turkey garnished with fresh green parsley? Even early civilizations such as the Romans recognized that people "eat with their eyes" as well as their palates. Saffron and other spices were often used to provide a rich yellow color

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

Introduction Human cilia play a critical part in human processes. Human cilia are hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. Cilia are capable of rhythmic motion and acts together from separate strands so that the cell is capable of movement. Flagella are a whip-like structure that is found in cells as well that allow for the movement of the cell. Human cilia are characterized as having “metachronal rhythm" and this means is a rhythm that "changes time" to produce wave. The beating
