Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. The lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits-characteristics of an individual that

Name Biology-Honors Teacher December 6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2.

Safety Concerns in the Laboratory Safety goggles must be warn at all times during a lab session. This is very important because they protect your eyes from harmful matter such as chemicals‚ glass‚ and fumes. It is very important to note that they must be goggles and not glasses. Safety glasses may protect the eyes from flying debris and splashes but may not protect the eyes from gas fumes or splashes from underneath. Also‚ wearing contact lenses in a chemical laboratory without proper coverage

Ammonia and Hydrochloric Acid Lab Chemistry 1 Abstract The straw should be cut shorter to 8 cm in order to make the solid ring appear in the center of the straw. We achieved our goal‚ cutting the straw caused the gases to not have to go as far‚ and meet in the middle. Background The particles in a gas are very loose and tend to move around a lot very quickly. The particles in a solid are very compact and vibrate but don’t really move very much. The particles in a liquid however are more

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Utilizing the Lab Results PS2200 - Criminal Investigation Unit 04 Assignment 01 As the lead homicide investigator for this case I had recently learned that the crime lab has concluded that the finger print that was recovered belonged to the boyfriend‚ they were from a piece of notebook paper found under the body of the victim. Interviews are conducted in criminal cases for the purpose of gathering information from people who have‚ or may have‚ knowledge needed in the investigation. (Swanson

The lab in which we conducted last Tuesday was an analysis of a hydrate and what happens to it when it is heated. A hydrate is a crystalline compound which water molecules are chemically bound to it. In the lab‚ we were to analyze the difference in grams of the hydrate and the anhydrate. An anhydrate is the crystalline compound without the water molecules bound to it. During our lab‚ we were to heat up the crucible‚ the crucible with hydrate‚ and the crucible with an anhydrous and write down each

department Data security – Lab # 1 Lab Description Set-UID is an important security mechanism in Unix operating systems. When a Set-UID program is run‚ it assumes the owner’s privileges. For example‚ if the program’s owner is root‚ then when anyone runs this program‚ the program gains the root’s privileges during its execution. Set-UID allows us to do many interesting things‚ but unfortunately‚ it is also the culprit of many bad things. Therefore‚ the objective of this lab is two-fold: • Appreciate
