Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

Lab Report The Effect of Resting on Clothespin Squeezing. Hypothesis: If you rest then the clothespin squeezing rate will increase. Materials:- Clothespin Clock Sneakers Procedure: Separate class into two groups (exercisers and resters). Exercisers will do jumping jacks for a minute. Exercisers and registers will squeeze clothespin for a minute Repeat steps two and three. Total of three trails. Precaution: Shoes must be tied. Space between exercisers. Healthy exercisers

this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls‚ which

Comparing Plant and Animal Cells Hypothesis: I predict I will see the following organelles when observing a plant and animal cell under a microscope: the cell membrane‚ cell wall‚ nucleus‚ and the endoplasmic reticulum. Frog Blood: Analysis: 1. The shape of the frog blood cell was in a circle‚ or oval. The edges were a little irregular‚ but it could still be identified as‚ basically‚ a circular shape. 2. The cells were produced by an animal‚ a frog. 3. The cell wall was not present

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work
