Please answer the following questions. Your answer for each question should be a minimum of 150 words (half page). Please number your answers with the number of the question you are answering. 1. Koch was the first scientist to prove that bacteria actually cause disease. He scientifically demonstrated that a disease is caused by a particular organism. He created four general guidelines to aid in identification of disease causing pathogens. These guidelines developed from his work with purified

Digestion Lab Abstract – The purpose of this lab was to understand how different solutions played a role in the digestion protein. By looking at different variables‚ such as temperature‚ and pH we’re capable of understanding just how certain substances functioned and when they didn’t. The data for all labs are clear and concise and give a clear understanding of what solutions work best. All three labs were placed in a warm water bath set at 37’C to stimulate the reaction as if it were taking place

Exercise 1: Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Activity 2: Simulated Facilitated Diffusion Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 50% by answering 2 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. Molecules need a carrier protein to help them move across a membrane because Your answer : a. they are not lipid soluble. Correct answer: d. they are lipid insoluble or they are too large. 2. Which of the following is true of facilitated diffusion? You correctly answered: c. Movement is passive and down

of the specialized underlying structures of these life-forms. In order for us to appreciate these special adaptation‚ we first need to know how a typical plant or an animal cell organelle behaves in different water and solute concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal

Unknown Lab Report Dr. Nathan Cahoone Microbiology 204 December 9‚ 2010 Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The study and test was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium which I was using unknown #25. Results Unknown #25 had the following morphology on a streak plate: medium sized butyrous cream colored colony. Gram-staining was utilized

In the activity paper that was given‚ it dictated that during the yogurt making process‚ the bacteria underwent fermentation. “Fermentation is any process where microorganisms use an external food source for energy. This process is done in a fermenter‚ conditions are controlled by mixing‚ water jacket.” – URL: http://scienceaid.co.uk/biology/micro/fermentation.html Below is the Lab Report of the group for yogurt making activity.

analysis of Coke‚ Sprite‚ and Royal. We tested the Comparative pH ‚ Carbon Acid and Glucose content of different soft drinks. Since soft drinks like Coca-Cola‚ Royal and Sprite are common beverages that Filipinos like to drink‚ It is usually sold in a lot of stores and markets. (This beverages taste sweet and has a tangy feeling in your throat when drank.) Coca cola is a carbonated drink. Its content are Sucrose‚ Caffeine‚ Phosphoric Acid‚ Caramel color‚ and natural flavorings. We firstly tested

Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium chloride for dialysis

tests that would help to identify their bacteria. During the process of identification‚ the unknown bacteria was added to many different testing medias using aseptic technique. They are as follows: lactose fermentation on eosin methylene blue (EMB)‚ TSI (Triple Sugar Iron agar)‚ Phenol red sucrose‚ the SIM test‚ H2S by SIM‚ IMViC (indole‚ motility‚ voges-proskauer‚ and citrate)‚ Urease (urea broth)‚ PDase (Phenylalanine Deaminase)‚ Lysine Decarboxylase‚ and Ornithine Decarboxylase.

Enzyme Activity Lab Objective: To determine the effect of temperature‚ PH and enzyme concentration on catalase activity. Introduction: What is an enzyme and how the enzyme works. Any of a group of complex proteins or conjugated proteins thatare produced by living cells and act as catalysts in specific biochemical reactions. The system in which enzymes work is often referred to as the ’lock and key’ system it’s where the enzyme and the substrate lock together. The substrate then unlocks into
