Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation

levels of proteins contained fillers such as starch and sugar. We developed and carried out tests to determine which organic molecules were present in a series of unknown supplements. This is important because it is important to know what is in the food you eat for yourself and not always reply on the vague claims that companies make about their products. ● Description: Knowing that sugars react to a Benedict’s reagent‚ proteins will react to a Biuret reagent‚ and starch will react to a Lugol’s reagent

Photosynthesis Lab Report Purpose: To research the effect of different wavelengths (colors) of light on plant growth during photosynthesis. Background Information: Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight is captured by chloroplasts within plant cells and turned into energy. This energy is used to help the plant grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruit. Energy is required by living things

starch‚ into an acid or alcohol. For instance ‚ yeast performs fermentation to achieve energy by altering sugar into alcohol. Bacteria execute fermentation‚ altering carbohydrates into lactic acid (Helmenstine‚ 2013). Fermentation can be used in the food and drink industry as well‚ examples of this is bread. In the process of fermentation with bread‚ yeast produces carbon dioxide‚ alcohol and other compounds which enable the dough to rise and modify its physical properties. Louis Pasteur stated that

Purpose The purpose of the “Beanium” lab was to determine the average atomic mass of three different isotopes of beanium. During the lab beans were counted to determine mass of the sum of the beans. Each type of bean were weighed separately and then averaged together to determine the average atomic mass of beanium. Materials and Hazards Analytical balance‚ coffee filter‚ pencil‚ paper‚ cup‚ American beans‚ Nigerian beans‚ Mexican beans‚ calculator‚ and paper. Raw Data Bean Total Mass w/ Cup Number

turn off the primary production. Darkness has no effect on respiration. This is because cellular respiration is actually the reverse process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is a necessity of life requirements for basically all living organisms.* In this lab we are testing how different levels of salinity in the water indirectly affects the gross primary productivity in aquatic plants. To measure this you would use the light and dark bottle method. Only respiration (R) can occur in the bottle stored in

Abstract This lab is performed in order to determine the total energy in a reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid. The reaction is done twice‚ once to measure the heat of the reaction and again to determine the work done in the system. This is because Enthalpy equals heat plus work (∆H= ∆E+W). Heat and work can be broken down further into separate components so the equation used in lab is ∆H=mc∆T + PV. Many calculations are used in the lab to find out what cannot be measured directly (ex:

Biology 101 Popcorn experiment Lab partners Robert Barham Michelle hall Diva Mancada Kelley Pritt 1 Introduction Popcorn‚ or popping corn‚ is a type of corn which explodes from a kernel and puffs up when heated. It is a popular snack food‚ especially in movie theaters. Popcorn can be salted or sweetened. Air popped popcorn is naturally high in fiber‚ low in calories and fat‚ contains no sodium and is sugar free. This can make it an attractive snack for people with caloric or
