Darwin’s Finches Lab In this inquiry lab‚ we explored natural selection using a laboratory. We wanted to see what was the effect of the type of food available on the frequency of different types of bird beaks. Our hypothesis was that If the type of the food available changes‚ then the frequency of beak types will change‚ because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time. Variables: Independent Variable: type of food available

The Virtual Lab – ELISA Test Lab: Immunology 09/04/2013 Instructors: Dr. Charlie Wilson Written by: Dipen Patel I. Objective: The purpose of the lab was to learn the procedure of performing an ELISA test to determine whether a particular antibody is present in a patient’s blood sample. ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." II. Introduction: The interaction of antigen and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient

to have in the body. A substrate is the material that is being broken down. In this case‚ the substrate would be hydrogen peroxide. The catalase‚ located in the liver‚ is being used to break down the substrate. Problem The purpose of this lab is to see if the enzyme‚ catalase‚ can be manipulated. We are testing the effects of pH‚ temperature and enzyme concentration. Hypothesis Controlled When we add peroxide to the liver it will bubble a lot and break down faster. When we add peroxide

EC 12/19‚ 2010 Forensics Period 5 Lab: Make your own Dental Impression I. Objective: The objective of the lab “Look and Record” was to identify the castings of your own teeth. The lab was also used to see how important forensic odontoloogy really is. What can a forensic odonotologist see in a dental impression cast that can help identify an individual? II. Background: Forensic odontology is important in all cases. Impressions can determine many things in a case.

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work

Lab‚ Week # 1 BALANCE LAB Introduction The purpose of this lab is to learn how to utilize two different balances to find the mass of different chemicals in the ChemLab program. A balance is an instrument used to determine the mass of a chemical. To accomplish this we use direct weighing and weighing by difference on both the centigram and electronic balances. Equipment 1 Centigram Balances 1 Electronic Balance 1 100ml Beakers 5 Copper Slugs 2 Unknown Weights (Label # 1‚ # 2)

department Data security – Lab # 1 Lab Description Set-UID is an important security mechanism in Unix operating systems. When a Set-UID program is run‚ it assumes the owner’s privileges. For example‚ if the program’s owner is root‚ then when anyone runs this program‚ the program gains the root’s privileges during its execution. Set-UID allows us to do many interesting things‚ but unfortunately‚ it is also the culprit of many bad things. Therefore‚ the objective of this lab is two-fold: • Appreciate

These visual mutants aid in tetrad analysis‚ especially in analysis of intragenic recombination. ( Campbell 72) A common lab use is to observe meiosis and mitosis in the fruiting bodies‚ called perithecia. An interesting feature of S. fimicola is that its fruiting body is phototrophic. Thus‚ as it grows the stalk will bend toward a light source and when the sac bursts‚ the

INTRODUCTION: This lab was done to know how diffusion takes place. In the first place‚ particular penetrability is characterize as the particular "determination" with reference to what particles to enter the cell or kept outside of the cell; it is basically specific of what is going in and what is going out‚ primarily supplements going in and squanders going out (Marieb). Moreover‚ specific penetrability happens in two ways: dynamic process that requires ATP for the transportation of cell while

Ashley Robins 9/13/11 Honors Chemistry Period 4 Density Lab Purpose: 1. To determine the density of a solid using different laboratory techniques for measuring volume. 2. To use the intensive property of density to identify an unknown substance. Procedure: 1. Obtain a bag marked with a number containing a cube and a cylinder from the teacher. Record the number on the bag in the data table. Density of a cube: Using a balance‚ record the mass of the cube to the nearest tenth of a gram
