Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

others are transmitted or reflected. Blue and red light tend to contribute to the highest rates of photosynthesis whereas green and yellow result in the lowest rates. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate photosynthetic electron transport‚ using isolated chloroplast from silver beet leaves. Red light tend to contribute to the highest rates of photosynthesis whereas green result in

Title: Confirming the Presence of Fermentation in the Conversion of Milk to Kefir Authors: Michael Ahrens‚ Nicholas Fiore‚ Garrett Hages‚ Melissa Cullom University of Kansas‚ Biol 402‚ Fall 2014‚ 3:00pm room 6040 Abstract: In this experiment milk was fermented into Kefir‚ then a series of tests were used to confirm that fermentation actually occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion

experiments are: Lactase Enzyme and Lactose. Lactase is a protein located in the human small intestine‚ while lactose is a term to define the sugar found in milk. Milk is a substance that contains nutrients necessary for our bodies‚ however‚ some people are unable to consume lactose related products‚ and so they are medically classified as Lactose Intolerants. The purpose of this experiment is to examine and illustrate the way that lactose gets affected by lactase enzyme whenever lactase is presented

with a diffuser and stilling materials at the bottom to provide a constant head of water to be discharged through a bellmouth entry to the flow visualisation pipe. Flow through this pipe is regulated using a control valve at the discharge end. The water flow rate through the pipe can be measured using the volumetric tank (or measuring cylinder) of a Hydraulics Bench. Velocity of the water can therefore be determined to allow for the calculation of Reynolds’ number. A dye injection system is installed

samples the concentrations for nitrogen to phosphorous used were 0 (control)‚ 32:1‚ 16:1‚ and 8:1. The liquids were measured out using micropipettes so that 4 mL total made up a sample. The tubes were labeled at the top end and capped tightly. The samples were mixed gently before undergoing readings by the spectrophotometer. The spectrophotometer measured for absorbance‚ which was used to calculate initial cell density. The caps on each of the samples were then loosened to allow movement of gas in

The Effects of Individuals’ Detection of Changes in Images on Reaction Time Abstract The purpose of this current study was to examine how individuals detected or noticed change when viewing images on their level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These
