Purpose: In this experiment‚ the purpose was to have found out how different chemical solutions help or harm radish plant growth when the seeds of the radish plant are soaked in said solutions prior to planting. Background: The IRP project I am doing is based off the subject of seed germination. The seeds I will be planting are cherry belle radish seeds‚ freshly bought. Instead of planting the seeds in soil like it is normally done‚ the plant seeds will be placed on paper towels to grow for better

Photosynthesis: Plant cells vs. Solar Cells Chevon Allen 01/23/2010 SCI-115 Professor Garcia Photosynthesis and the semiconductor-based solar cell are very similar process with different ways of reaching the same goal. In photosynthesis‚ plant cells harness the solar energy of the sun with carbon dioxide to transform water molecules into hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and electrons. Just like photosynthesis‚ Semi conductor based solar cells harness the solar energy of the sun for the same purposes

EXPERIMENT 3: ISENTROPIC EXPANSION PROCESS Objective In order to demonstrate the isentropic expansion process. Introduction Isentropic means no change in entropy. Entropy is a thermodynamic property that is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. In simple terms‚ the measure of the level of disorder in a closed but changing system‚ a system in which energy can only be transferred in one direction from an ordered state to a disordered

This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food. Daphnia‚ or Daphnia magna‚ are microscopic organisms in which the students created an original lab to test

Develop hypotheses predicting the effect of pyrite and coal on the acidity of water? a. Pyrite hypothesis = If pyrite is added to a beaker with 100mL of water‚ then it will reduce the pH over 48 hours. b. Coal hypothesis = It activated carbon is added

Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The experiment will help determine two important physical properties‚ boiling and melting point‚ of liquids and solids. Procedure: Before starting the experiment I gathered all materials appropriate for the experiment and prepare a safe environment for my experiment. I record the boiling point of the Isopropyl Alcohol and the melting point of powdered Acetamide with lab equipment such as the thermometer‚ capillary tube‚ beaker‚ test tube‚ and burner fuel

Abstract:Conjugation is a natural occurring process that involves the transfer of DNA from one cell into another through a physical connection between the cells. In the following experiment‚ two strains of Escherichia coli bacterial cells (donor F’lac+strs and recipient F-lac-strr) underwent conjugation to produce a transconjugant strain (F’lac+strr). MAC plates and streptomycin were utilized to determine if conjugation had occurred. When plated‚ the donor colonies appeared red and the recipient

All green parts of a plant have chloroplasts. However‚ the leaves are the major site of photosynthesis for most plants. There are about half a million chloroplasts per square millimeter of leaf surface. The color of a leaf comes from chlorophyll‚ the green pigment in the chloroplasts. Chlorophyll plays an important role in the absorption of light energy during photosynthesis. Chloroplasts are found mainly in mesophyll cells forming the tissues in the interior of the leaf. O2 exits and CO2 enters
