Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests‚ and my unknown bacteria is #17. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures. The differential

Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

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)

Stoichiometry Lab Stoichiometry is the end result of adding up chemical elements that were involved in chemical reactions (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stoichiometry). The word stoichiometry was obtained from two greek words meaning element and measure. This explains the definition for the term. A chemist named Jeremias Benjamin Richter was the chemist responsible for first realizing what stoichiometry was (http://www.chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/What-is-Stoichiometry.html). In 1972

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

faces of the prism and each wavelength of light is refracted by a slightly different amount” (Davidson‚ 2015). This means white light is every visible light‚ meaning white light would best be absorbed by plants. You could test this by conducting an experiment with several plants‚ all of the same height and breed‚ leaving half in the sunlight and moonlight and the other half under lights that aren’t white‚ blue‚ or yellow to see which light would have the best photosynthetic

Mallory Charland February 9‚ 2015 Mutations of E. coli Lab Report Advanced Biology Deducing Mutations of the Lac Operon of E. coli Abstract: In this lab we determined a possible mutation in unique bacterial strains of E. coli by observing the proper responses of wild type E. coli Lac Operon as a control group. Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

BIomes are distinct from habitats‚ because any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. In our lab we had figure out the major components in a biome. For example‚ like the weather‚ what animals live in it‚ plant life‚ etc… And answer key questions to why something happens in a Biome. And how species and plant life depend on each other to survive
