Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to use staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate

the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that are directly

began the experiment in my lab manual. To begin‚ I removed set 1 from the refrigerator and compared the distance the dye had diffused in each of the 3 test tubes with the corresponding test tubes of set 2 that had been kept at room temperature. Next‚ I held each tube vertically in front of a white sheet of paper‚ and then used a metric meter to measure how far the dye had diffused from the gelatin’s surface (in millimeters). I then recorded each of these distances in my lab manual. I repeated this step

Constituent of “Panacetin” Recrystallization& Melting-Point Measurement Organic Chemistry Lab Introduction: Panacetin purportedly includes sucrose‚ aspirin‚ and acetaminophen. However‚ the accuracy of Panacetin’s contents has been called into question by the Association for Safe Pharmaceuticals. Therefore‚ the lab must discover the accuracy of the ingredients listed on Panacetin’s label. The unknown in this experiment is presumed to be something

The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When

Osmosis of Sucrose Solutions of Different Molarities Through Dialysis Tubing (a Semi-Permeable Membrane) I. DESIGN A. PROBLEM/RESEARCH QUESTION 1. How does increasing molarity of sucrose affect osmosis through dialysis tubing? B. VARIABLES 1. The independent variable in this lab is the molarity of sucrose each dialysis bag is filled with. The time (30 minutes)‚ the temperature (23C) and the type of dialysis tubing used are all constants. 2. The dependent

• Carbohydrates include simple sugars‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. They are the most important source of energy for most organisms. Polysaccharides change color in the presence of iodine solution: Glycogen gives a red-brown color and starch a dark blue–violet color. While simple sugars‚ having an aldehyde group‚ or a ketone group act as reducing agents in the presence of Benedict’s reagent producing a range of colors from green to brown depending on the degree of reduction they exhibit

Josh Huggard Mr. Neale SBI3U1 November 6th‚ 2014 Spit and Armpit Lab Partners: Kara Washer and Josh Young Abstract This lab shows the use of salivary amylase with strong and weak starch mixtures to break down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This lab was conducted to physically see the breakdown of carbohydrates into simpler sugars (glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose) using the salivary amylase enzyme. This is extremely important to all metabolic functions in the human digestive system. It
