Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

For this lab‚ the expected outcomes are that when the heart rate and blood pressure are measured‚ both will increase when the heart has to pump against gravity‚ after exercise the heart rate will increase then return to normal‚ and as the subject inhales‚ it will be lower than when they exhale. Methods For this lab report‚ the laboratory manual (2009) was used for all labs. While completing lab five‚ electrodes were hooked up to the subject. After calibration for this lab‚
Premium Blood Heart Respiratory system
The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right

Microscope lab report Introduction Microscope is a tool used to enlarge images of small objects that are hard to study with bare eyes. The compound light microscope‚ which is going to be used in this lab activity‚ is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives: •Demonstrate the appropriate procedures used while using the compound light microscope correctly. •Make and use a wet mount

captured‚ a catalase test followed. Next‚ for further data‚ MSA results were recorded‚ along with antibiotic observations of demo plates. Lastly‚ with the information gathered‚ it was identified that the unknown sample was Streptococcus salivarius. Introduction: In this lab‚ the exploration of an unknown gram positive bacteria was conducted. What is known about gram positive microorganisms is that their cell walls are composed of a thick peptidoglycan layer‚ which retains the purple color of
