Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

S ince DNA is the blueprint for life‚ every living thing contains DNA. The extraction of DNA from cells and its purification are of primary importance to the field of biotechnology and forensics. Extraction and purification of DNA are the first st

LAB REPORT HYPOTHESIS 1: Plants transpire the most when the environment has light and less humidity JUSTIFICATION: Water evaporates more readily because light stimulates the opening of the stomata and photosynthesis would occur. HYPOTHESIS 2: Transpiration would occur the second most when there’s light and lots of humidity. JUSTIFICATION: The light would allow photosynthesis to occur and the stomata to open but little if any diffusion of water out the leaf would occur. HYPOTHESIS 3:

Basic Laboratory Skills Purpose(s) of the Experiment: The purpose of the first part of today’s experiment is to establish the stoichiometry of the reaction between titrate oxalate (C2O42-) and permanganate (MnO4-). The purpose of the second part of today’s experiment is to learn about the concepts of the rate of chemical reactions

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

one of the tests‚ so that data is lost. Specific errors include measuring the entire test tube from top to bottom instead of measuring the exact distance traveled by the filter paper‚ making the test results not plausible. The results of this lab proved several things. The results of the first test show that a higher enzyme concentration causes a faster rate of the substrate being broken down. This means that the effect of enzyme concentration on enzyme activity is a positive effect and speeds

is reacted with acetic anhydride to produce paracetamol. The reactions are summarized as shown below: Process using Paranitrochlorobenzene as a starting raw material Paranitrochlorobenzene is converted to paranitrophenol by means of caustic fusion with caustic soda in an autoclave; paranitrophenol thus obtained is further reduced to paraminophenol by using iron powder. Para-aminophenol crystallises out from the mother liquid which is subsequently centrifuged. Para-aminophenyl crystal

experiment were put together by using a 10ml-graduated cylinder to obtain 4ml of each pH buffer to insert into cuvettes‚ a micropipette was then used to obtain 0.5ml of catechol and 0.5ml of the catechol oxidase. The pH buffer was made first to avoid any denaturation of the catechol oxidase. Our positive control for this experiment was pH 7 because that is the pH level of most cell membranes in the cytoplasm (Whitson‚ 2016.) Our negative controls varied for each pH buffer‚ but all “blank” cuvettes contained

can survive in extreme environments. Halobacteria are also useful by being a good organism to perform DNA transcription‚ translation‚ and transformation on (Kramer‚ 2006). There are two different types of Halobacteria that are being observed in this lab. The first is NRC-1‚ which is also called the wild type strain. Although the pigmentation of the Halobacteria is caused by the production of the membrane protein‚ bacteriorhodopsin‚ which is a red‚ the wild type strain is pink in color. This pink color
