Seed Germination Some people‚ when they think of germination‚ think of a seed sprouting. Very plain‚ simple image in their mind‚ especially since there is so much more going on in the small seed. New Life is growing. Germination is the sprouting of a seed‚ through which a lot of plants reproduce‚ though not all. Water is a major trigger in the germination stage‚ playing a major role also later in the plant’s life. Though seeds are not the only way for plants to reproduce‚ it is one of the easiest

Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors. Materials Lab stand Protractor Cardboard Fishing line Stopwatch Weights Hook for weights Tape Ruler Weighing scale Logger Pro Variables Independent Angle of release Dependent Period Length

decreased‚ about 0.1 grams of sodium carbonate was added into the solution. When the solution was complete‚ it was transferred into a 1 liter plastic bottle. The plastic bottle was wrapped around with aluminum in order to block the light from the solution because light catalyzes the thiosulfate to decompose. Before standardizing the thiosulfate‚ a blank determination of KI was performed. Potassium iodide may sometimes contain iodate ions; therefore‚ this part was performed to detect any iodate ions

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

Introduction Human cilia play a critical part in human processes. Human cilia are hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. Cilia are capable of rhythmic motion and acts together from separate strands so that the cell is capable of movement. Flagella are a whip-like structure that is found in cells as well that allow for the movement of the cell. Human cilia are characterized as having “metachronal rhythm" and this means is a rhythm that "changes time" to produce wave. The beating

Results: Since the mass of the ball bearing used in this experiment was very light‚ 20 balls were measured and the result was divided by 20 for better accuracy. This procedure was repeated for the sizes and the results are as follows: Diameter (mm) Mass (kg) 2 0.04 3 0.075 4 0.11 To find out the densities of the three balls‚ the following formula was used: Density= (mass of the ball)/(Volume of the ball)= mass/(4/3 π r^3 ) Density of 2mm ball = (0.04⁄1000)/(4/3 π 〖(0.001)〗^3

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures
