Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

The temperature of water was determined by a thermometer. 1 cm stripped ends of the wires was hooked into the input posts on the back of the impendence converter. Lab tutor module was started after. B. Baseline heart rate The top of the container was covered with foil and the animal was allowed to sit quietly for 10 min. The trace was examined by pressing start. After that the baseline or the controlled

Gbengon‚Sennie Microbiology Lab Case study # 5 November 1‚2012 1. What evidence suggests that the young graduate student has contracted what disease? Ans: The signs and symptoms the young graduate student presented‚ show evidence of Lyme disease. 2. What is the environmental pathway for the vector of this disease? Ans: The environmental pathway for the vector of this disease would be a forested habitat. The black-legged tick or the deer tick is the principle vector of this disease (Lyme

Firstly‚ it is possible to use sheep erythrocytes as models for human erythrocyte behavior because permeability similarity increases for more closely related species (Hunter 1976). Using an even more closely related species’ erythrocytes in diffusion experiments would provide an even better model for human cell behavior. Additionally‚ finding out more about diffusion mechanisms may allow scientists to synthesize compounds that have

continued to increase from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2‚ the velocity of experiment IV (the uninhibited reaction) decreased slightly from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2 (Figure 3.3). Since this is not an expected result based on Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics‚ this slight decrease was likely due to human error. The average difference in velocity between the inhibited and uninhibited reactions was 0.3942 mL/s. A paired t-test was run on the velocity data for the two experiments and resulted in

Maryely Ramirez Professor Theresa Sterner Bio Lab 105 04 November 2013 The Effects Environmental Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is

The Catalase Lab Stephen Human Anatomy & Physiology 9/30/12 Problem- How do different environments affect the reactivity of catalase? Hypothesis- If more catalase is added then more oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a faster rate because there is more catalase to react upon. If less catalase is added then less oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a slower rate because there is less catalase to react upon. Variable- Independent- Amount of Catalase (Filter Paper) Dependent- Amount of

For the preparation of the filtrate solution at the beginning of the class our Instructor‚ Marshall Douglas added about four to five strawberries in the blender along with 100 ml of detergent/ enzyme/ salt solution. They were blended until thoroughly homogenized if foaming occurred more detergent solution was added to prevent it. Then the blended solution was poured into a beaker and left to incubate at 60C for 15 minutes. Also‚ the mixture solution was cooled on ice for 5 minutes and filter through

Introduction In unit 7.3 the experiment tested the ability of lactase to specifically bind and interact with lactose compared to maltose. In unit 7.4 the experiment tested the role‚ if any‚ that metal ions have on the activity of lactase. My hypothesis for unit 7.3 was knowing that lactase is specific for lactose‚ lactose will separate into galactose and glucose‚ as maltose will not change (153-155). Lactase should like lactose. For unit 7.4 my hypothesis was that EDTA will remove the ions‚ and

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for
