The Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms and Eutrophication Introduction Eutrophication‚ by definition‚ is a process where bodies of water receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth. Eutrophication results from continuous pollution in the form of agricultural run-offs or sewage outflows. Fertilizers and sewage are both rich in nitrogen and phosphorus‚ which are both nutrients essential for plant growth. However‚ these nutrients are typically low in content in aquatic environments

Lab 2: Protiens and Starches Purpose: An introduction to testing procedures for two large‚ organic molecules: proteins and starches. Hypothesis: In the test for protiens the water‚ being that it is inorganic will not test positive for protiens; it will serve as the negative control. The milk and 50% egg solution should test positive for protien as they are subsatnce derived from animals which contain protiens in order to carry the functions of life. The sucrose will test negative due

Food Contamination Definition Food contamination refers to foods that are spoiled or tainted because they either contain microorganisms‚ such as bacteria or parasites‚ or toxic substances that make them unfit for consumption. Food contamination is a serious issue because it results in foodborne diseases. Hence‚ awareness of potential sources of food contamination is an important component of good nutrition. Food contamination refers to the presence in food of harmful chemicals and microorganisms

Water Wheel Work‚ Power‚ and Efficiency Pre-Lab Preparation: Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to create an efficient water wheel that would produce a productive time in lifting the cup of nuts and bolts that was attached to the pipe used in rotating out water wheel. The more efficient our wheel was the better the time we would have in lifting our cup. We were then able to observe the work that was needed to turn the axel‚ the time that is taken to bring the cup of washers to the axel‚ and

The first lab we did was overall fascinating. Each station had something different to offer and revealed results that I would not have guessed. The exercise that profoundly stuck out to me the most was the “water tank‚” lab. The procedure of the lab was to shoot a red laser beam into the tank of water from three different directions. I first shot the laser from above the water surface‚ then from below‚ and finally from the side of the tank. Interestingly enough‚ each direction‚ the laser would bend

Shantelle Johnson April 8‚ 2012 H4 Introduction When food is unsafe for consumption is called food contamination. Food contamination occurs when foods are spoiled because they might contain microorganisms‚ such as bacteria ‚ parasites‚ or toxic substances that make them unsafe for consumption.Bacteria and parasites on uncooked food can linger on the food if not handle or cooked properly. Food contamination is serious because it results in diseases that affect appromiaxally seventy-six million people

Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination Experiment 1: Effects of Groundwater Contamination Table 1: Water Observations (Smell‚ Color‚ Etc.) Beaker Observations 1 This beaker has water only‚ clear with no smell 2 I mixed oil in the water‚ the oil then started to settle at the top of the water. (oil is not a soluble) 3 Beaker contained vinegar and water‚ the water got a little cloudy and the vinegar smell is very strong. 4 The water and laundry detergent mix had a soapy look to it‚ water also
