The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from

Experiment Title: Torsion Vibration. Introduction : Torsion is the twisting of a metallic rod shaped object‚ when a torque is applied on two sides’ perpendicular to the radius of a uniform cross-sectional bar. Objective : Determining the natural frequency of a system undergoing tortional vibration. Theory : Using Newton’s second law of tortional system. ( [pic] …………………. ( Equation 1 ) where Io = mass moment of inertia of the disk Hence‚ [pic] ……..……

Boys’ Code of Conduct In the article “How Boys Become Men”‚ written by John Katz‚ he analyzes situations he experienced while growing up. Katz believes that boys become men by not showing fear or feelings and not ratting on others. As in the novel‚ The Other Wes Moore‚ both Weses are forced to become men at an early age. They experience events that push them to make decisions that make them grow and think like men do. Katz details the maturation process for boys‚ as the book‚ The Other Wes Moore

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

Introduction/ Purpose: Stoichiometry is the study of the quantitative‚ or measurable‚ relationships that exist in chemical formulas and also chemical reactions. The calculations of a stoichiometry problem depend upon balanced chemical equations. The coefficients of the balanced equations indicate the molar ratio of the reactants and products taking part in the reaction. There are three major categories of stoichiometry problems such as mass-mass‚ mass-volume‚ and volume-volume. Convert to desired limit Molar

water. This discovery also showed that photosynthetic reactions are different than others because they give up oxygen‚ whereas others use CO2. Lastly‚ it showed that oxidation-reduction reactions are a major part of photosynthesis. Electron-acceptor molecules are being reduced and oxidized as electrons move around during photosynthesis. As part of this movement‚ electrons reduce NADP+ to NADPH‚ which is used in light-independent reactions. A dye‚ DPIP‚ is needed to distinguish this process‚ where

Grade 11 physics: SPH3U1-01 | Physics Lab Report | Specific Heat Capacity of Brass | | Jin Jin Shi | 2012/12/6 | Instructor: Mr. Nailer | I. Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

Separation of the Components of a Mixture General Chemistry 1 (Chem 101)‚ ISP SCUHS Report 2 January 26‚ 2014 Abstract The analyses of mixture were to distinguish and identify homogeneous mixture by using the techniques of decantation and sublimation. By performing these techniques‚ we examined our solutions such as SiO2 (sand)‚ NH4Cl (ammonium chloride)‚ and NaCl (sodium chloride) and mixed H2O (water) with each solution after being heated. After examining our solutions‚ we made calculations

Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup
