Purpose The purpose of the “Beanium” lab was to determine the average atomic mass of three different isotopes of beanium. During the lab beans were counted to determine mass of the sum of the beans. Each type of bean were weighed separately and then averaged together to determine the average atomic mass of beanium. Materials and Hazards Analytical balance‚ coffee filter‚ pencil‚ paper‚ cup‚ American beans‚ Nigerian beans‚ Mexican beans‚ calculator‚ and paper. Raw Data Bean Total Mass w/ Cup Number

AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

AP Bio Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If

phase what is left is 2 pyruvates. Fermentation then takes place only in the absence of oxygen. In fermentation the pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol‚ through the oxidation of the 2 NADH molecules‚ which returns them to two NAD+’s (Freeman‚ 2011). Oxidation is the loss of an electron in this case H+. We used information from previous labs in which we tested

Experiment 21: Salmonella and food contamination Purpose /Objective Objective: To test salmonella in spinach sample over five lab periods. Food contamination of salmonella can cause serious illness. Only small numbers of salmonella need to be found for a food product to be considered contaminated. Tests used Pre-enrichment- lactose broth Selective enrichment broth- with Tetrathionate Brilliant Broth Selective Plating- Brilliant Green Agar Isolation of salmonella conformation- is preformed

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for

Franklin bell experiment Report Introduction After much thought as to what experiment to do‚ I decided to do an electrostatic experiment using the Franklin bell. I had to try and find different energy sources that would work for me. Any electronic instrument would give off enough electricity‚ but I eventually settled on using a electric bug zapper because it was easy to set up the crocodile clips with it. Afterwards I tried the same experiment with a television set‚ using tinfoil which gave static

Starch/Amylase Experiment Report Objective: The purpose of the starch/amylase experiment was to simulate and observe the process of enzyme digestion. Materials: * 1 small beaker * 2 large beakers * 2 cut pieces of soaked dialysis tubing * 2 dialysis tubing clamps or pieces of twine * 2 clean plastic pipettes * 1 bottle of Lugol’s solution * 2 glucose test strips Procedure: Begin the experiment by placing 4 full pipettes worth of cooked starch in a beaker. Then‚ use

On a cold‚ Friday evening in March‚ I was warming up before a track meet began. I was going to be running the 100-meter dash- it was the first race of the meet. The stadium was piling up with people’s families‚ friends‚ and relatives. My own family was in the crowd‚ and I was so excited to show them all the hard work I had put in. “100-meter girls!” I heard the announcer say‚ and I knew it was my turn to go and run. While waiting in line‚ I started to get nervous like I do before every run- I get
