The purpose of the experiment was to determine which macronutrient‚ nitrogen or phosphorous‚ had a greater influence on cultural eutrophication. It was hypothesized that nitrogen would cause a greater algal growth rate due to its higher abundance required in plant growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous were tested separately‚ where the concentration of each was increased while the other remained constant. The results showed a positive increase in algal growth rate in the phosphorous samples and a negative

Experiment E: Post lab Natasha Buckiewicz (130361780) IA: Matt Halloran Due: November 26‚ 2014 1. This experiment followed GCP number 8 which is reduce derivatives. This experiment did not use unnecessary derivation since the reaction was not modified in any way. No additional reagents were required so it did not generate a lot of waste. 2. Safer solvents and auxilaries (GCP #5) was not used in this experiment since the experiment used a solvent to complete the reaction. The reaction used both

Introduction In unit 7.3 the experiment tested the ability of lactase to specifically bind and interact with lactose compared to maltose. In unit 7.4 the experiment tested the role‚ if any‚ that metal ions have on the activity of lactase. My hypothesis for unit 7.3 was knowing that lactase is specific for lactose‚ lactose will separate into galactose and glucose‚ as maltose will not change (153-155). Lactase should like lactose. For unit 7.4 my hypothesis was that EDTA will remove the ions‚ and

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These changes were presented in random order with two practice trials followed by 46 trials. The participants were exposed to all of the conditions making this experiment a within-subjects experiment. It was hypothesized that individuals

All plants have stoma to help regulate how much water is taken and released along with the other chemicals involved. Stomatal density is the number of stomata per unit area of a leaf. The experiment conducted with leaves along a water source and away from a water source was to analyze the stomatal density difference. This experiment was performed to measure which environment had a greater effect on stomatal density. Stomata of a leaf is a miniature pore in the epidermis of a leaf surrounded by guard

Roy Levin Bio 11 Lab Dr.Izquierdo Analysis of Macromolecules in Tissue Homogenates of Bos taurusMaterials and Methods The homogenates provided were made by homogenizing tissues in a sucrose phosphate buffer in a 1:20 ratio. The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules
