Data has been presented in the tables‚ charts and drawings herein and reflect the results of microscopic observations as well as the differential tests results on various agars and broth cultures. Although all tests were not conclusive‚ the unknown organism labeled Unknown #11 was found to be a member of the family Enterobacteriacea and Genus Serratia marcescens.

Procedure Have three petri dishes prepared with blood agar‚ and three test tubes with 100 milliliters of milk. Label three test tubes‚ “A‚” “B‚” and “C.” With a toothpick‚ add a small amount of the E. coli specimen to tube “B"; shake the test tube to mix throughly. For test tube “C‚” add the same amount

Taste discrimination in young and old Drosophila melanogaster Introduction The ability to discriminate taste is critical for the survival and nutrition of an organism (Sellier et al.‚ 2010‚ Gordesky-Gold et al.‚ 2008). Many animals rely on their taste organs to detect and discriminate various types of taste such as sweet or bitter (Weiss et al.‚ 2011). When these organs come in contact with a food source‚ signals are sent to taste receptor cells. The activation of certain taste receptor cells by

Biology Assessment: Influenza Structure: Viruses are non-cellular obligate intracellular parasites‚ requiring a living host cell in order to reproduce. A developed viral particle (virion) lacks the metabolic machinery of cells‚ containing just a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) encased in a protein coat or capsid. Viruses can be distinguished by their structure and by the nature of their genetic material (single or double stranded DNA or RNA). Viruses that affect humans are more difficult

Question: How does the size of the cell affect its efficiency in exchanging substances through several ways‚ like diffusion? Aim: To plan and carry out an investigation to show the relationship between volume/Cm3‚ surface area‚ and diffusion using agar cubes measured in time/s; and to demonstrate‚ using diffusion‚ why the size of cells is limited‚ keeping the room temperature and pressure constant. Hypothesis: I expect to find that when the surface area to volume of a cell reaches a certain level
