the bacteria for various purposes such as for medical‚ research‚ developmental‚ and biotechnicalfieldsThe cell wall is the basis for classification of bacteria according to the Gram stain. Accordingto the chemical make up of bacterial cell wall‚ a staining procedure‚ Gram stain‚ helps usclassify bacteria into two subgroups‚ The cell wall can stain either positive or negative‚depending on its chemistry. If the bacteria stains positive it will retain a purple/blue color. If the bacteria stains negative

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

Executive Summary Caffeine is a stimulant for the central nervous system which will relax the muscle and increase the gastric acid and heart rate (Kelly‚ 2017). The analyzing of caffeine and caffeine metabolites in saliva is to quantitatively measure the ratio of concentrations of caffeine and metabolites. There are three different metabolites of caffeine and the majority of caffeine metabolite is paraxanthine. The ratio of concentration represents the activity of the first metabolism enzyme of caffeine

Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

study of the quantitative‚ or measurable‚ relationships that exist in chemical formulas and also chemical reactions. In this experiment hydrogen gas will be produced from the reaction of a known mass of magnesium metal with an excess of hydrochloric acid. The theoretical number of moles of hydrogen gas may be calculated using stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation. The theoretical volume of hydrogen gas may then be determined from the previously determined number of moles of gas by rearranging

The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right

EXPERIMENT 1 DETERMINATION OF ASCORBIC ACID CONTENT IN VITAMIN C TABLETS INTRODUCTION To calculate the mass of the ascorbic acid and hence the mass percentage of ascorbic acid in the vitamin C tablet. PROCEDURES (Refer to Lab Manual) 1. Accurately weight vitamin C (effervescent type) in a 50 ml beaker. Add about 30 ml of deionised water to dissolve the vitamin C tablet. Once the tablet has dissolved completely‚ transfer the solution into a 250 ml volumetric flask via a plastic filter
