Introduction The purpose of this lab was to calculate and determine the optimal dosage of ultraviolet (UV) light to expose Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) to that would result in a survival rate of 20-40%. Saccharomyces cerevisiae commonly referred to as baker’s yeast is a single-celled eukaryote. Yeast is capable of growing as either a haploid or a diploid cell. The diploid cell can reproduce mitotically or sporulate‚ a process initiating meiosis and forming an ascus with four spores (Sacchromyces

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable

will break‚ because the force needs to be shared or it takes over the egg. With that‚ I understood a basis of how the device should be. This lab is designed to be very innovative with making devices so that nature can be defied. An egg that is supposed to break on contact from seven meters up will be safe and won’t break. The egg drop showcases endless laws of physics‚ and it also encourages people to be creative. The results expected from the specified device are success‚ and everyone anticipated

(100 ºC) and an acidic pH. Enzyme C produced the most maltose at 37 ºC (body temperature) and a pH of 7 (neutral). Conclusion In a prior lab‚ it was given that the enzyme Aspergillus oryzae (fungus) works best at warm temperatures and an acidic pH‚ porcine (pig) works best at body temperature (37 ºC) and

Experiment-5 Thermal physics is the combined study of thermodynamics‚ statistical mechanics‚ and kinetic theory. This practical is done to measure the temperature drop of water over a period of time (30 minutes). Research question- What is the rate of temperature change over a period of 30 minutes? Independent variable- time Dependent variable- the temperature of water Controlled variables- the amount of water in the calorimeter - The stop watch

FeCl3‚ changes in color will occur. Pure Aspirin has a melting point around 135°C and a pure salicylic acid has 158 °C. TLC is used to separate compounds based on affinity for stationary phase or mobile phase. In TLC‚ the solvent went up at different rates. The retention factor (Rf) of a component can then be measured by dividing the distance that was traveled by the solvent front distance.By doing this experiment‚ the number of moles and grams of salicylic acid and acetic anhydride can be answered.

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

Lab Report Density Name: Period: Problem How do you calculate Density? What units did you use for volume‚ mass‚ and density? When the cubes are placed in water which one will sink 1st? What is the ranking of the cubes lightest (1) to heaviest (10)? Is it true that the cube with the most mass will have the most density? Hypothesis I think the 1st cube was aluminum I think the 2nd cube was steel I think the 3rd cube was brass I think the 4th cube was copper I think the 5th

ABSTRACT On the past two weeks‚ I have done an experiment on hydrostatics‚ or is also known as fluid statics (fluid at rest) within the fluid mechanics field of study. This condition explains that in a stable condition‚ the fluid is at rest. The use of fluid in doing work is known as hydraulics‚ and the science of fluid in motion is known as fluid dynamics. INTRODUCTION The natural nature of fluids are they cannot remain stationary under the application of shear stress. However‚ fluid
