Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by the mass of the original hydrate and then multiplied by 100%. Data Presentation & Analysis Table 1: The data was collected from the lab experiment. Sample calculations are shown. Mass of beaker with sample 30.765g Mass of empty beaker 30.263g Mass of sample .502g Mass of beaker with sample after 1st heat 30.661g Mass of beaker with sample after 2nd heat 30.657g Heating mass

The lesson is divided into 3 labs that can be completed in any order. After labs have been completed‚ facilitate a class discussion where students summarize and compare findings and relate how their findings support (or refute) Newton’s Laws of Motion LAB 1: How fast can it go? Put one car at the top of the ramp and let it roll down. Use a stopwatch to record the time the car rolled. Use this information to calculate the acceleration of the car. Measure the distance the car rolled using the

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

bread‚ yeast produces carbon dioxide‚ alcohol and other compounds which enable the dough to rise and modify its physical properties. Louis Pasteur stated that “ All yeast which ferment bread‚ beer‚ wine and cider corresponds to microscopic living cells of a microscopic fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Many varieties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae exist in nature and they are more or less suitable for various types of fermentation” (Cofalec‚ 2013). The carbon source Glucose is basically sugar that

to gain an understanding of the processes that account for the movement of substances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes

When Chemicals React! Mr. Bell’s honors level chemistry class conducted an experiment during their lab demonstrations‚ this consisted of elements such as phosphorus and calcium chloride in their experiment. This along with another hydrogen based sunstance produced‚ what looked like a pinkish-looking substance inside of their flasks that were at their lab stations. Sophmore Kelly Caudel said‚ “ I actualley enjoy doing the experiments in this class‚ because it gives us a chance to get away from

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary
