Eye Wash (2 points) In the event of a chemical splash to the eyes‚ flood the eyes for at least 15-30 minutes with water. Flush from the eye outward. If you were not wearing proper eye wear‚ a chemical could splash into your eye and would make it necessary to use this. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Used in order to put out a small fire. If a small area of the lab caught

Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

BIO 101 Lecture Notes for Respiration‚ Fermentation‚ and Photosynthesis Respiration During aerobic respiration‚ glucose is completely oxidized (all H’s removed) leaving CO2 as an endproduct. The H’s are taken by coenzymes (NAD and FAD) to the electron transport chain. There the energy is drained from the hydrogen electrons and the energy is used to make ATP. The H’s are ultimately accepted by O2 to make H2O as an endproduct. Respiration occurs in three major stages: 1) Glycolysis

or replaced if necessary. 2. Why is science considered a unified endeavor? A. Science is considered a unified endeavor because of the methods‚ reasoning‚ and zest for science is universal. There is physical science‚ earth science‚ and life science. 3. Compare and contrast science and technology. A. Science is a tool that allows us to comprehend phenomena. Technology is the application of science. Science feeds technology‚ as evidenced by the growth of genetic engineering after understanding the

Lab 10: Cell Structure & Function Questions 1. For each structure identified‚ do you think its location affects its ability to function? Why or why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane) Structure does not affect function of the cells‚ cells have a particular structure that enables them to carry out their function in the best way. Everything in a cell is there to enable it to perform in the most efficient manner possible

example; “Culture conditions obviously influence the outcome of adaptive evolution.” This statement implies that they have extensive knowledge on all the different aspects of evolution. Many scientists today will admit that we do not fully understand evolution and all the factors involved. To say that the conditions ‘obviously’ influenced that outcome is too broad of a statement considering we weren’t there to see most of earth’s evolution take place. In the introduction‚ Gauge assumed that either tryptophan
