Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests Jacob Palmer University of Puget Sound March 3rd‚ 2015 Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests INTRODUCTION Flexibility can be defined as the capability of something to bend easily without breaking. The flexibility of a person is commonly measured during fitness tests‚ and the most frequently used test of a person’s flexibility is the sit-and-reach

Unknown Lab Report #1 Unknown #1 April 25‚ 2012 Microbiology Spring 2012 MCB2010C Unknown #1 Introduction Identity of a microorganism has proven to be very significant. Doing so can help identify diseases and created treatment and cures for such diseases. As a result‚ various laboratory tests were performed to an unknown microbe (Unknown #1) found in the water of a nearby pond. By identify the microbe‚ the safety of the water will be known to those around it. Materials and Methods

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

sale which we are expecting to sell all of them in the school farmer market. Conclusion: The cookies that we made during each lab showed most of the benefits and disadvantages of making our own cookies compare buying commercial cookies (saving money‚ healthier version‚ taste‚ and texture). I believe‚ I can use all these experiences that I gained during each cookies labs at home too. Also‚ it will be helpful and useful in food service. For instance‚ as a register dietitian‚ I can approach any desserts

Next 5mL of amylase from test tube 1 was added to the 5mL

if antimicrobial concentration increases‚ then the zone of inhibition will increase because the higher the concentration‚ the more the antimicrobial will disinfect the area of bacteria and thus the zone of inhibition will increase.The results of the lab do support my hypothesis. Paragraph 2: My antimicrobial was bleach. Bleach contains hypochlorous acid which “causes bacterial proteins to unfold and stick to one another‚ making them nonfunctional and leading to cell death”(publications.nigms.nih.gov)

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

potential to damage crops extensively‚ and thus‚ damage society as well through shortage of food or even famine. In addition‚ in countries that depend on the production of agricultural goods like Canada‚ the effects of acid rain can be tremendous. In this lab‚ we have chosen to examine the effects of acidic and basic environments on radish plants (Raphanus sativus)‚ by implementing varying pH levels of buffer solution into the soil. We have allotted a total of four days (Tuesday‚ April 10‚ 2012- Friday April

Title: The Effect of Nicotine on the Heart Rate of the Lumbriculus Variegatus Introduction: Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab‚ the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity‚ especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab‚ we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control

Enzymes INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein cells and they are found in the gut. They help to break down the food you eat. Enzymes are produced by living cells and they speed up reactions because they are biological catalysts. If we did not have enzymes‚ the reactions in our cells would be too slow to keep us alive. This means that they are extremely important for our survival. The properties of enzymes are: ⋆ They can be used many times‚ because they can speed up reactions without
