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

Unknown Lab Report Dr. Nathan Cahoone Microbiology 204 December 9‚ 2010 Introduction There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The study and test was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an unknown bacterium which I was using unknown #25. Results Unknown #25 had the following morphology on a streak plate: medium sized butyrous cream colored colony. Gram-staining was utilized

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

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

The lattice energy value obtained from the Born-Haber cycle is derived from experimental data. It is also possible to calculate a theoretical value for lattice energy by assuming the compound is fully ionic. For ionic compounds with high covalent character‚ the difference between the experimental and theoretical values would be quite significant. Unlike the Born- Haber cycle‚ the energy level diagram must have an energy axis and a datum line. The datum line is

between a cyanuric acid-functionalized hydroxy acid called 2-OH-CyCo4 (abbreviated as ψ) and the amino acid L-aspartic acid (abbreviated as D). Despite no obvious prebiotic route to this compound‚ it features certain principles that still apply to prebiotically plausible compounds. More specifically‚ when simple compounds containing hydroxyl and carboxylic acid moieties are dissolved in water and dried at elevated temperature under acidic conditions‚ esters can be formed. ψD was designed so that intramolecular

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:

Science of Biology Mrs. Farrow Lab 3 – Slime Time Submitted by Chase Kenemer 22 February 2015 Abstract Polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ polar substances and non-polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ non-polar substances. In the conducted experiment‚ the polarity of molecules and their properties are explored. The results of using two solvents on both polar and non-polar inks‚ further verify this to be true. The student conducted the experiment given‚ using safe lab practices‚ that found the
