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

Flame lab test Chemistry Introduction The lab test performed was to determine characteristic colors that were produced by specific metallic ions that are shown in a flame. This happens when an electron gains energy; the electron moves from an energy level that’s farthest away and to an empty orbital close to the nucleus with higher levels‚ so one of the electrons gives off energy. A flame test is a visual test where the energy is in the form of a color change and the change can

In each station there was a positive and a negative control. If the substance was the same as the negative control then it was negative. If the substance was the same as the positive control than the substance is positive. In the first lab we did the Paper Spot test‚ one would have had to apply the substance on a cardboard like paper. If it looked oily it was the biomolecule called lipid. The result of test one was it stayed the same‚ it did not turn oily and was clear. Next was the test

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Density (Linearized plot) TA: Blue Rex rex Group Members: Billy and Mandy Tuesday; 1200-1350 Abstract: In this lab the density of hand-made clay balls were calculated to understand how scientists model physical effects and to understand logarithmic plots. The hand-made balls ranged from diameters of 2cm to 6cm and were measured with vernier calipers by each member of the group. A total of 6 independent measures of each diameter were taken to establish uncertainty. The clay balls were then

Lab Report 3: Daphnia‚ Human and Crayfish Cardiac Activity Introduction An electrocardiogram‚ abbreviated as ECG in this report‚ is a visual representation of an organism’s atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Previous research has shown that although there is variability in the amplitude and shape of the waves of ECG‚ dependent on the subject’s health‚ it follows a universal pattern that can be used effectively for biometrics. The experiments discussed in this lab report were

of the lab‚ a micro test tube with and without glass wool was weighed on an analytical balance. A watch glass‚ crucible‚ and lid were also weighed. The masses of all the materials needed for the lab were recorded in the data tables of the laboratory notebook. An unknown vial was obtained from the teacher and set to zero on the balance. About 0.6 grams of the unknown was measured into the micro test tube. The analytical balance was set to zero again and then the test tube with the unknown was measured
