Introduction The natural environment is highly populated with microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ protista and several others. Microorganisms are microscopic in size and vary shape. They are found in the air‚ in water‚ on land and on other organisms such as humans and pets. Many microorganisms grow at rapid speeds and can be harmful and cause diseases. Although microorganisms may cause harm‚ society benefits from microorganisms in many ways. Microorganisms are necessary for the production of

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

Determining the habitat preference of Artemia franciscana by creating artificial gradients of three abiotic factors: light‚ pH‚ and temperature Introduction In the study of ecology‚ species are often described as generalists if they live in broad environmental conditions or specialists if they live in narrow or specific environmental conditions (Reece et al. 2011). Artemia franciscana‚ the organism under study‚ is a well known generalist that has adapted it’s reproductive strategy to allow

Title: Observation of Macroscopic Chemical Changes‚ Alice Kimbrell‚ Chemistry 101-DS01:74589‚ 5/31/2013. Purpose: In this lab‚ I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change‚ and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these

FDA. This "approval" process‚ known as color additive certification‚ assures the safety‚ quality‚ consistency and strength of the color additive. Color additives are available for use in food as either "dyes" or "lakes". Dyes dissolve in water‚ lakes are the water insoluble form of the dye‚ are more stable than dyes‚ and are ideal for coloring products containing fats and oils. Allura Red AC is a red azo dye that goes by several names including: Allura Red‚ FD&C Red 40 and disodium 6-hydroxy-5-

Ketchup Lab Report Problem: People visiting fast food restaurants complained that ketchup was dripping onto their fingers and clothes. What could we do to insure that the ketchup will not drop all over the customers? Hypothesis: If I put one ketchup packet in a hotter bath then it will move faster down the styrofoam plate. Independent Variable: The temperature Dependent Variable: The viscosity of the ketchup’s “runniness” Constants: The type of ketchup

transport‚ molecular synthesis‚ and in fireflies‚ also known as lightening bugs‚ bioluminescence (Biology Book). Bioluminescence is the process in which living organisms convert chemical energy into light (Branchini‚ 2008). In the fireflies case the reaction involves the enzyme luciferase which lights up a lantern-like mechanism under the tip the wings and attached to the end of the body of the firefly. It is presumed that the firefly uses the lantern to attract a mate. The goal in this experiment

best fabric for science laboratory clothing. (Final Report) Abstract: This experiment looked at the effectiveness of cotton‚ wool and polyester to come up with a hypothesis to which material would be the best used in a lab coat. After the hypothesis was made an experiment was done on the 3 materials‚ to find out which material is the best to use in a lab coat. The results of the experiment were that wool was the best material to be used in a lab coat. Introduction: Scientists and students working

“Demonstrating the Importance of Surfactant: Lab Report” Introduction Surfactant is an essential component for the respiratory system to function properly. This experiment was administrated to help us understand better the role of surfactant in the alveolar system. Surfactant is a detergent-like substance produced by the Type II alveolar cells in the alveoli. Surfactant is produced to make it easier for people to breath by reducing the surface tension of the water molecules that primarily compose the
