The identification of acids and bases using a natural indicator Purpose: The purpose of this lab practice is to identify the pH of certain solutions and if they are acids or bases. Introduction: In chemistry‚ pH is a measure of the activity of the (solvated) hydrogen ion. p[H]‚ which measures the hydrogen ion concentration‚ is closely related to‚ and is often written as‚ pH. Depending on the pH solutions will be acids or bases. An acid is a chemical compound that dissociates in solution‚ releasing

Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

Microscope lab report Introduction Microscope is a tool used to enlarge images of small objects that are hard to study with bare eyes. The compound light microscope‚ which is going to be used in this lab activity‚ is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives: •Demonstrate the appropriate procedures used while using the compound light microscope correctly. •Make and use a wet mount

The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right

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

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for

analyzing the temperatures of four microhabitats within two habitats with infrared thermometers‚ the temperatures were compared between the microhabitats. Then‚ one habitat was chosen to analyze the temperatures between temperatures of ectotherms using I-buttons that were placed inside Peeps. After the five Peeps were placed in each microhabitat our predictions were that as the ectothermal organism increased in elevation‚ the temperature of the organism would decrease do to access to the wind and
