Formal Scientific Lab Report Osmosis Katy Hunter 10-26-2012 Abstract: The objectives of this lab was to be able to create models of cells with the dialysis tubing to show us how the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ to study the effects of osmosis on a model cell‚ and to foresee the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. In order to achieve these objectives‚ we had to fill the dialysis tubing with either water‚ or different amounts of sucrose. We then tied off the tubes and put

SYNOPSIS The project titled “CREDIT CARD FRAUD DETECTION” detects the fraudulent card during transactions and alerts the customer regarding the fraud. This project also aims in minimizing the number of false alerts. The concept of genetic algorithm is a novel one in this application domain. The algorithm begins with multi-population of randomly generated chromosomes. These chromosomes undergo the operations of selection‚ crossover and mutation. Crossover combines the information from two parent

investigated in this report is heat transfer in a concentric tube heat exchanger. A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat from a hot fluid to a colder fluid. Heat exchangers are widely used in the petroleum industry for various reasons. Some of the most important reasons are theta heat exchangers increase the process efficiency‚ conserve energy‚ reduce maintenance and provide employee safety among many other reasons. The main objectives of the lab study were to determine the heat transfer rate

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

Lab Report Density Name: Period: Problem How do you calculate Density? What units did you use for volume‚ mass‚ and density? When the cubes are placed in water which one will sink 1st? What is the ranking of the cubes lightest (1) to heaviest (10)? Is it true that the cube with the most mass will have the most density? Hypothesis I think the 1st cube was aluminum I think the 2nd cube was steel I think the 3rd cube was brass I think the 4th cube was copper I think the 5th

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)

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary

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)

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable
