Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

LAB REPORT HYPOTHESIS 1: Plants transpire the most when the environment has light and less humidity JUSTIFICATION: Water evaporates more readily because light stimulates the opening of the stomata and photosynthesis would occur. HYPOTHESIS 2: Transpiration would occur the second most when there’s light and lots of humidity. JUSTIFICATION: The light would allow photosynthesis to occur and the stomata to open but little if any diffusion of water out the leaf would occur. HYPOTHESIS 3:

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

one of the tests‚ so that data is lost. Specific errors include measuring the entire test tube from top to bottom instead of measuring the exact distance traveled by the filter paper‚ making the test results not plausible. The results of this lab proved several things. The results of the first test show that a higher enzyme concentration causes a faster rate of the substrate being broken down. This means that the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity is a positive effect and speeds

is reacted with acetic anhydride to produce paracetamol. The reactions are summarized as shown below: Process using Paranitrochlorobenzene as a starting raw material Paranitrochlorobenzene is converted to paranitrophenol by means of caustic fusion with caustic soda in an autoclave; paranitrophenol thus obtained is further reduced to paraminophenol by using iron powder. Para-aminophenol crystallises out from the mother liquid which is subsequently centrifuged. Para-aminophenyl crystal

Statics and Uncertainty Marilyn Esthappan Lab Partner: Nisha Sunny TA: Sajjad Tahir Physics Lab 106 May 29‚ 2011 1-3pm THEORY: Statistical variation and measurement uncertainty are unavoidable. A theory is consistent if the measurement is 2m +/- 1m. Uncertainty rises from statistical variation‚ measurement precision‚ or systematic error. EXPERIMENTAL OVERVIEW: Part 1. Coin Toss: Statistical Variation: Sixteen coins were tossed nine times and the number of heads was counted to determine

rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate of photosynthesis by using a spectrophotometer‚ measuring the greatest change in absorbance.

media The filtrates obtained from above experiment were used for extraction and estimation of citrinin. Briefly‚ the citrinin was extracted thrice with chloroform (1:1 v/v). All the three extractions were pooled and concentrated in vacuum at 40°C using a rotary evaporator. The crude extract was then diluted in minimum amount of chloroform (2ml) and citrinin was estimated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) according to Razak et al.[16] Subsets of citrinin obtained were estimated by High performance

can survive in extreme environments. Halobacteria are also useful by being a good organism to perform DNA transcription‚ translation‚ and transformation on (Kramer‚ 2006). There are two different types of Halobacteria that are being observed in this lab. The first is NRC-1‚ which is also called the wild type strain. Although the pigmentation of the Halobacteria is caused by the production of the membrane protein‚ bacteriorhodopsin‚ which is a red‚ the wild type strain is pink in color. This pink color
