Introduction In this investigation‚ me and my partners performed an experiment to find the different energy contents in food and different amounts of energy released when consumed. Throughout this experiment our procedure was to take different food samples and use a device known as a calorimeter made from a can of aluminum‚ one large paper clips and a string of copper wire to measure the amount of thermal energy released during a reaction. By measuring the temperature difference before and after

9 Meiosis CHAPTER OUTLINe Meiosis (p. 172) 9.1 Discovery of Meiosis (p. 172; Figs. 9.1‚ 9.2) A. In 1882‚ Belgian cytologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden discovered that the gametes of the roundworm Ascaris contained two chromosomes while somatic cells contained four. B. Fertilization 1. van Beneden proposed in 1887 that an egg and sperm could fuse to form a zygote. 2. The fusion of gametes is called fertilization or syngamy. C. Meiosis 1. A reduction division is required to reduce the number

Midterm Study Guide Answers 1. A hypothesis is an explanation of observations. “If the floor is wet‚ I will slip.” 2. A controlled experiment is when only one variable is changed. 3. If the plant you are experimenting with has a disease that is an unavoidable experimental error. 4. An enzyme speeds up reactions and lowers the energy it takes to produce something‚ a lock and key. 5. Autotrophs make their own food by producing sugars from sunlight and various chemicals. 6

Andrew Schwartz 1-19-2011 Assignment 1 * Fish- Channel Catfish‚ May 23‚ 1997. It is slender‚ with a deeply forked tail. The young have spots that fade away with age. It feeds on animal and plant material by using it’s whiskers. * Fossil- Crinoid‚ June 16‚ 1989. It is the mineralization of an animal which has a plant-like appearance‚ so it is known as the “sea lily.” * Mineral- Galena‚ July 21‚ 1967. It is the major source of lead ore. It is dark gray in color and breaks into small

1. Phospholipid: Molecule that forms a double-layered cell membrane; consists of a glycerol‚ a phosphate group; and two fatty acids. 2. Selectively permeable (Semi): Condition or quality of allowing some‚ but not all‚ materials cross a barrier or membrane. 3. Receptor: Protein that detects a signal molecule and performs an action in response. 4. Diffusion: Movement of dissolved molecules in a fluid or gas from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 5. Osmosis: Diffusion

A. Fermentation Lab- The basic process Prepared 3 beakers with contents listed below. ( a. Beaker 1: glucose only b. Beaker 2: Starch only c. Beaker 3: Starch + amylase). Poured contents of each beaker into its respective fermentation tube‚ ensuring the tail portion of the tube was filled with liquid. Placed tubes in an incubator at 37 degrees‚ measuring distance between tip of tube tail to fluid level at 20‚ 40‚ and 60 minute intervals. Calculated gas volume using this distance along with radius

5PY017 Pharmaceutical Microbiology Evaluation of antimicrobial effectiveness of disinfectants Abstract A control experiment was performed to rule out the effects of the medium and neutralizer to allow us to see the effect of the disinfectant on the four organisms within a 5 minute range. The bacterial suspension used for paired at different concentration data was Staphylococcus Aureus for which gave good results when the reduction factor value of 1.20x106 ml-1 was obtained for the organism

Biology- cell organelles assignment Animal cells: Introduction: An animal cell is called a eukaryotic cell; it has a cell membrane‚ cytoplasm and a nucleus. The cell surface is covered by a membrane only. The cell membrane is strong and keeps the cell together even though it is thin and flexible. The cell membrane also controls what goes in and out of the cell e.g. nutrients go in and waste comes out. The cytoplasm is inside the nucleus and it controls the cells activities. An animal is
