Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance

A‚ B‚ and C‚ respectively. 10 drops of mammal blood was added to each of these and mixed. The transparency and translucency of these tubes was tested. The solutions in the opaque tubes were placed on a slide with a drop of blood and observed under a microscope and compared to a control slide with just a drop of blood. Sketches of the observations were made and analyzed. A leaf of Elodea was placed on a slide along with solution X‚ observed‚ and drawn. Solution Y was then drawn through the slide and

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space

extended period of time. Caffeine is a stimulant. It will work by causing the nervous system to work faster. Also‚ it will cause the blood vessels to constrict. (LaFave‚ 2003) These effects will work together to increase an animals heart rate. Under normal circumstances‚ the heart rate will increase as more caffeine is added. At some point the high concentration of caffeine will cause the heart to stop functioning. The effect of one outside substance can impair the effects of other substances

organizing and analyzing the results from a prior experiment my supervisor Ms. Ehnar Jiy conducted. In this lab‚ i wanted to know if more active cells in our bodies require more energy. I started of by taking five samples of three different types of cell (skin cell‚ muscle cell and lung cell) and counted the mitochondria present in each by viewing the cells under a powerful optical microscope. According to my data‚ i found out that my hypothesis was accurate‚ i predicted that more active cells in

Mini-Lab Report Objectives: There were two major goals of the “Observing Bacteria and Blood” experiment. The first was to establish a familiarity with the proper techniques for using a microscope. The experiment focused on both the basic components of a microscope (i.e. how to adjust the knobs and levers for the desired result) as well as how do decide the proper objective to use for observing a specimen. The second goal major goal of this experiment was to practice observing live specimens

Introduction: During this laboratory exercise will identify by the graph given which is isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic. The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three

Abstract An attitude is a representation of an individual ’s degree of like or dislike for an act‚ object or evaluation. This report aims to conclude whether there is a difference between female and male attitudes towards smoking. It is hypothesised that females will have a more positive attitude towards smoking. Questionnaires using a 5 point likert scale will be utilised to measure each participants’ attitude towards smoking through their responses. Results stated there is no significant difference
