Conclusion I predicted that if the decolorization of DPIP is caused by photosynthesis and not cell respiration and spinach extract containing chloroplasts and mitochondria is incubated with DPIP‚ then the rate of DPIP decolorization should be higher if in bright light verses dark light because DPIP is reduced by photosynthesis and not by the mitochondria or any other cellular function. If DPIP was only decolorized by chloroplasts‚ then the percent transmittance of chloroplast suspensions would be

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

Evolution of Cell Signaling 1. signal transduction pathway. a specific cellular response in a series of steps 2. signaling mechanisms first evolved in ancient prokaryotes and unicellular eukaryotes‚ then adopted for new uses 3. quorum sensing. allows bacterial populations to coordinate behaviors to carry out activities only productive when performed by a given number of cells

mortality‚ and power. As he alludes to in Act 3‚ Scene 2‚ Shakespeare uses the play to “hold‚ as ‘twere’‚ the mirror up to nature”‚ and display a paradigm and example of the complexity of humanity. Above all‚ however‚ Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’ exemplifies the complexity and uncertainity surrounding the extent to which humans can exercise free will upon their own lives. Through this‚ Shakespeare explores

The Effects of Environmental Stimuli on Animal Behavior AP Biology Emily Olsen April 26‚ 2012 I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to test the effect certain stimuli has on the behavior of a terrestrial isopod. These bugs are more commonly known as pill bugs and potato bugs. The objective of this experiment is to determine which kinds of habitats potato bugs favor. Potato bugs have an innate behavior called taxis which will cause the animal to move away from a stimulus that is unwanted

For Lab 1‚ my partner and I will be demonstrating the law in which connects the period of the pendulum‚ expressed as T‚ to the length of the string‚ expressed a L. The system the lab will be based on will include a pendulum with a weight of W suspended at a fixed point by the string with a variable length of L and an angle theta to be measured using a protractor. The variable T will be measured as the period of time needed for the weight of the pendulum to swing back and forth once. For part 1 of

Introduction: The Olympic Games which are held in every four years have an event called Men’s High Jump and usually an athlete tries to jump over a bar which is set up in a certain range from1 meter to 3 meters. The table 1 shows the record of the gold medalists during the Olympic Games held during 1932 to 1980. Note:

Chapter 11: Cell Communication Cell-to-cell communication is essential in multicellular organisms. They must communicate to coordinate activities such as growth and development‚ and reproduction. In addition unicellular organisms communicate with each other. Signals may use light‚ or touch but we will focus on chemical signals. 1. External signals are converted to responses within the cell a.
