December 8‚ 2013 Soil Analysis Lab Report Intro: Soil is produced over hundreds of years through the weathering of rocks and the decomposition of organic material. Soil contains nutrients that are taken from decomposed animals and plants which turn to detritus. Nutrients such as nitrogen are added to the soil in these ways by organisms such as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Soil is important because it is the fuel to the plants that we need in order to survive and for all species to survive. Soil

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly

What do the chromic acid test results show? It shows the positivity that indicates the primary or secondary alcohol. 3. Compare results from both types of distillation? They gave the same results‚ so it is more accurate. Conclusion: During this lab I learn how to do simple and fractional distillation. Although the group I worked with only did simple distillation‚ I carefully observed how the group that did the fractional distillation. We collected all the results‚ to have a more precise range

source. The slit was pointed towards the source‚ and the spectroscope was shifted until the spectrum was clearly visible. The appearance of the spectrum from the fluorescent light source was recorded. A discharge tube apparatus was retrieved from a lab cart for demonstration. A hydrogen discharge tube was inserted into the discharge tube apparatus with the spring loaded end first‚ followed by the non-spring loaded end. The discharge tube apparatus was plugged into the outlet. The hydrogen discharge

This analysis concluded that the unknown was ethylene glycol. This was discovered as the gas was heated to 90 degrees Celsius causing the liquid unknown to evaporate into a gas while recording the mass‚ volume‚ temperature‚ and volume. This provided the mass of 1.6 grams which was found by subtracting the mass of the Erlenmeyer flask‚ aluminum cover‚ and rubber band from the mass of the Erlenmeyer flask‚ aluminum cover and rubber band and unknown gas after heating. Then the temperature of the gas

Unknown #1 Vomit Serratia marcescens & Bacillus cereus Biol 251 Microbiology 5/14/2009 Introduction The purpose of this study is to differentiate and identify two unknown organisms provided by the instructor in a nutrient broth. It is only known that the two organisms are from vomit; one is gram-positive and the other is gram-negative. It is necessary to first separate the two organisms by inoculating a nutrient agar plate using the streak-plate method. The

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
