The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from

Experiment Title: Torsion Vibration. Introduction : Torsion is the twisting of a metallic rod shaped object‚ when a torque is applied on two sides’ perpendicular to the radius of a uniform cross-sectional bar. Objective : Determining the natural frequency of a system undergoing tortional vibration. Theory : Using Newton’s second law of tortional system. ( [pic] …………………. ( Equation 1 ) where Io = mass moment of inertia of the disk Hence‚ [pic] ……..……

Boys’ Code of Conduct In the article “How Boys Become Men”‚ written by John Katz‚ he analyzes situations he experienced while growing up. Katz believes that boys become men by not showing fear or feelings and not ratting on others. As in the novel‚ The Other Wes Moore‚ both Weses are forced to become men at an early age. They experience events that push them to make decisions that make them grow and think like men do. Katz details the maturation process for boys‚ as the book‚ The Other Wes Moore

Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually

Introduction MerriamWebster defines an enzyme as “a chemical substance in animals and plants that helps to cause natural processes.” Enzymes act a catalyst to lower the activation energy of a reaction‚ the amount of energy needed to undergo a specific reaction. This will make the reaction happen much quicker because less energy is needed. Different enzymes have different threedimensional shapes with an active site‚ a cleft or depression. Substrates will bind to the active site of an enzyme if it is the

Formal Lab Report #1 I. Basics Title of the Experiment: The Empirical Formula of an Oxide Authors: Section Number: Chemistry Location and Date II. Abstract The aim in this lab was to determine the empirical formula of an oxide of magnesium through combustion in air. This was achieved by heating an established mass of magnesium in air inside of a crucible‚ ultimately attaining a compound that contained Mg and O. The major result of the experiment was the empirical formula of the oxide of magnesium
