Fly Lab Shannon Ladd Introduction: Famers and herders have been selectively breeding their plans and animals to produce more useful hybrids for thousands of years. It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown. Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. A contributing geneticist named Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)‚ discovered through

successfully synthesis the reactant to the product‚ NaBH4 was used as the main reagent to reduce the carbonyl double bond. One believes the formation of isoborneol was successfully due to the product’s percent yield‚ IR‚ and melting point. During the lab‚ .077 grams of isoborneol was yielded from the camphor reduction. In result‚ .077 g compared to an theoretical yield of .102 g equaled an overall 75% percentage yield. Considering the product yield was only a quarter shy of a 100% yield‚ provides strong

This formula is notable not only for the atypical linkage of two of the pyrrole nuclei‚ but also for the presence of two surplus hydrogen atoms in 7-and 8-positions‚ and of a very complex phytyl group in the 7-position. He found that the formula for chlorophyll b is the same as that for chlorophyll a‚ except that in the former a formyl group replaces the methyl group in pyrrole

Experiment 13 Charging and Discharging Capacitors 1. Introduction In this experiment you will measure the rates at which capacitors in series with resistors can be charged and discharged. The time constant RC will be found. Charging a capacitor. Consider the series circuit shown in Fig. 1. Let us assume that the capacitor is initially uncharged. When the switch S is open there is of course no current. If the switch is closed at t=0‚ charges begin to flow and an ammeter will be able

To start the experiment‚ weigh the mass of the cart with the picket fence and record the mass on an excel worksheet. The combined weight of the cart and the picket fence will be referred to as M. After weighing the cart with the picket fence‚ assemble the dynamic track by installing the photogate at an appropriate position. Additionally‚ install the pulley at the applicable end of the dynamic track. Next‚ hook up the inextensible string to the end of the cart. The attached string should be facing

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but
