The effect of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) on bioluminescence in fireflies. Introduction Adenosine triphosphate‚ also known as ATP‚ is the supply of energy found in every cell that we need in order to do essentially everything (Anonymous‚ 2008). It is an energy source for biochemical reactions such as muscle contraction‚ active transport‚ molecular synthesis‚ and in fireflies‚ also known as lightening bugs‚ bioluminescence (Biology Book). Bioluminescence is the process in which living organisms

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

others will separate. Introduction Food is a vital source of energy that is needed for survival‚ without this energy source our bodies wouldn’t be able to function. All food can be broken down into various food groups such as water‚ proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ vitamins‚ fats‚ fibre and minerals. Our bodies need all of these food groups to function with each of them playing a specific role. These food groups are present in our every day food and are taken into our body through a process of digestion

A company has specified that the acceptable size of a knob that is to be produced is (0.140 ± 0.003) inches. In this lab‚ the dimensions of the knobs produced in one day are tested for discrepancy in order to pass control testing. This lab also reports the probability that knobs with the acceptable dimension will be produced. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Microsoft Excel‚ a histogram was created displaying the three documented dimensions of 15 batches of knobs. This histogram was obtained in order

Introduction: Coccinellidae‚ which is more familiar known as the ladybug‚ comes from a family of small beetles. However‚ one may jump to conclusions after hearing their names‚ but ladybugs are not all females! Their color ranges from a red to a reddish-orange and even to a yellow color along with black spots on their hard-shell wing covers. Even though they are small bugs‚ they are very predatory. The ladybug’s mouth includes mandibles which is another word for their strong jaws (Hussain‚ et al

mitochondria are studied to identify their proteomes and how development affects the proteome (Labbe et al.‚ 2008). Study of isolated mitochondria has great application in the pharmaceutical industry through the discovery that some mitochondrial proteins stimulate apoptosis in the cells (Wang‚ 2001). This research has aided in finding cure for cancer and Parkinson’s disease among many other diseases (Labbe et al.‚ 2008). Also‚ many drugs produced contain drug classes that can inhibit the function

Title: Confirming the Presence of Fermentation in the Conversion of Milk to Kefir Authors: Michael Ahrens‚ Nicholas Fiore‚ Garrett Hages‚ Melissa Cullom University of Kansas‚ Biol 402‚ Fall 2014‚ 3:00pm room 6040 Abstract: In this experiment milk was fermented into Kefir‚ then a series of tests were used to confirm that fermentation actually occurred. The tests used to confirm the fermentation were a gas production test‚ pH test‚ Gram stain‚ and turbidity test. The results showed during the conversion
