Introduction The lung is a spongy organ made up of of irregularly shaped air spaces called Alveoli. The alveoli are lined by a single layer of flat cells and supported by a mesh of fine elastic fibers. The alveoli are surrounded by a rich network of pulmonary capillaries (Couch and Berger‚ 2004). Our lungs are a network of connected tubes that bring oxygen from the air into our blood‚ nourishing the trillions of cells that make up our bodies. The lungs also clean the blood of carbon dioxide waste

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)

atoms are bonded together they make up a molecule. Often associated with nonliving things are inorganic molecules‚ and associated with organisms are biomolecules. Today in lab‚ a series of tests were ran. Tested were the biomolecules of cells which are lipids‚ sugars‚ proteins and starch. The purpose of these tests were to test for the presences of cellular biomolecules. Some of the things that fat consist of are one glycerol and three fatty acids. Proteins are considered polymers. They are made

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

Overall‚ the results show that the peroxidase enzyme is sensitive with reference to the above factors in whether or not a reaction is catalyzed.

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable

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 use of fluid in doing work is known as hydraulics‚ and the science of fluid in motion is known as fluid dynamics. INTRODUCTION The natural nature of fluids are they cannot remain stationary under the application of shear stress. However‚ fluid can apply force normal to any surface contacting it. If the fluid is considered as a solid object such as a cylinder‚ the pressure
