Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus

the period of oscillations to the length of the pendulum.Sources of error for this procedure included precision in both length and time measurement tools‚ reaction time of the stopwatch holder‚ and the accuracy of the stopwatch with respect to the lab atomic clock. The final result of g takes into account the correction for the error introduced using the approximation. There are opportunities to correct for the effects of mass distribution‚ air buoyancy and damping‚ and string stretching[1]. Our results

# Now You See It – Copper Cycle Lab The purpose of the lab is to discover what happens when someone executes a series of procedures‚ beginning with copper metal. What is done | What is observed | 1. Started with copper‚ Cu (s). | reddish‚ brownish‚ orange-ish‚ powder-like | 2. Added nitric acid‚ HNO3 (aq). | acid turns blue and smells like chlorine. | 3. Added water‚ H2O (l). | stayed the same | 4. Added sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH (aq). | changed consistency‚ gel-like | 5. Heated the

Lauren Sullivan Plants Imperfections Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to plant different crosses and observe the different phenotypic ratios the plants present. The procedure of this experiment was plant six different crosses and water them correctly so that we could observe the different phenotypes and compare them to Mendel’s proposed ratios. Mendel‚ who had studied peas‚ did a similar experiment and came up with specific ratios that a monohybrid and dihybrid cross should show. His

Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase
