Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives

Effects of Temperature on the Formation of Cheese Curds This lab was performed in order to find what temperature the enzyme chymosin is most effective at forming cheese curds. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biological reactions in cells. They work by lowering the activation energy and help to orient the molecules correctly. Chymosin was originally taken from the stomachs of calves‚ and was called rennet‚ and then purified to make rennin. Eventually to catch up with

It was hypothesized that if the animal was larger‚ then it would have larger hemoglobin. It was thought that larger mammals would need more oxygen-rich hemoglobin to support healthy function. This lab did not support this hypothesis. The results in table 1 displayed that the hemoglobin of all mammalian samples traveled about the same distance. This trend can be seen in graph 1 as the mammalian hemoglobin samples migrated the same distance. Because the proteins traveled around the same distance it

iron powder. Para-aminophenol crystallises out from the mother liquid which is subsequently centrifuged. Para-aminophenyl crystal is then reacted with acetic anhydride to produce pure paracetamol. The reactions are summarised as shown below: Lab scale manufacture Paracetamol can be easily prepared in the laboratory using phenol. Phenol reacts with sodium nitrate and separate para nitro phenol from outho nitro phenol. Then para nitro phenol is converted into para amino phenol using sodium

Coli bacteria. We began the lab by first obtaining two sterile microcentrifuge tubes‚ one was label “GFP+” while the other one was “GFP–” because this one served as a control meaning nothing goes inside this one. With gloves on 25 microliters competent cells‚ which is e. Coli bacteria

root tip of a plant spend a comparatively long time in the mitotic phase‚ whereas those cells comprising slow-growing tissues would spend most of their lives in interphase. Non-dividing cells remain in interphase and never enter the mitotic phase. (Lab Manual 64) Interphase is the synthesis of biological molecules including DNA and duplicated DNA with associated proteins. These comprise the chromatin that begin to condense toward the end of this phase‚ but are not yet visible. The nucleoplasm

Results: The mealworms that were in the room temperature water have a higher cellular respiration rate than the mealworms in the cold water. This is because while they are in the cold water‚ the mealworm’s body slows down which decreases the amount of CO2 that is being produced. Unlike the mealworms in room temperature water‚ their cellular respiration was higher because their body temperature remained the same creating CO2 at a faster rate. Since there were two different controlled groups‚ there

Experiment 42: Ferrocene Preparation Introduction: The purpose of the lab is to prepare ferrocene from ferrous chloride and cyclopentadiene. Ferrocene‚ an organometallic‚ is a combination of two cyclopentadienide ions with a ferrous cation‚ such that the six pi electrons binds every carbon equally to the metal forming a sandwich type structure. Ferrocene has the properties of both an activated benzene (undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions) and a ferrous ion (oxidation reaction). Glyme

human evolution. Although no humans are being observed in this lab the concept of evolution is going to be looked up. The speciation is to see if by different modifications in the environment create a new species of finches. If no new species develop or the finches do not evolve to the changes in their surroundings will natural selection happen and will we no longer have finches on this island?
