Calcium‚ Magnesium‚ and Cytoplasmic Streaming in Physarum Polycephalum Eugenia Rita Lee Dr. Bonner BIO 111 Introduction: Physarum polycephalum is a type of slime mold of the myxogastria class that prefers warm and damp conditions. It can go through three forms‚ plasmodium‚ sclerotium‚ and sporangia. The plasmodium is the primary active state‚ where P. polycephalum consists of protoplasmic veins and multiple nuclei. During this stage‚ the slime mold surrounds its’ food and secretes enzymes

Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to synthesize triphenylmethanol from benzophenone and bromobenzene by the formation of a Grignard compound with the reagents bromobenzene and magnesium metal. The bromobenzene was first transformed into the Grignard compound and was then reacted with the benzophenone to make the final product. The mixture was then mixed with sulfuric acid and the organic layer was extracted via a separatory funnel. The mixture was then recrystallized from methanol and was allowed

Syl Rogers Bio 210 Comparing Fermentation Rate of the S. cerevisiae Yeast in the presence of MgSO4‚ NaF and Sodium Pyruvate Hypothesis In the fermentation of rate of yeast‚ S. Cerevisiae‚ there will be a higher/ faster rate of ethanol production‚ However‚ using catalytic enzymes would make the rate more faster‚ and MgSo4 will have a higher rate of CO2 than that of NaF and Sodium pyruvate as it act as a more better catalytic enzyme than the others.

nitrate and potassium iodide solutions Pour about 2.0 mL of lead (II) nitrate into the test tube. Add 5 to 10 drops of potassium iodide solution to the test tube and record your observations of the reaction. 3. Magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid solution Place one scoop of magnesium turnings into the test tube. Add hydrochloric acid slowly and observe the reaction. Next‚ place a burning splint near the mouth of the test tube to test for the presence of hydrogen gas. 4. Electrolysis of water

Before starting this experiment we were explicably told to have all glassware was dried to insure no water. However water could have still gotten into the reaction and this would react with the Grignard reagent‚ causing a reduction of the phenyl magnesium bromide to the hydrocarbon benzene. This would contaminate our product‚ consequently lowering our melting point. To avoid this contaminate‚ the glassware used was dried and the apparatus was closed with calcium chloride and a cotton ball. During

mathematical relationships‚ and a balanced chemical equation. Theory: The goal of this lab is to find the volume of one mole of hydrogen at STP. The experimenters will be working with hydrochloric acid and magnesium to find the objective. The acid in this lab will react to the magnesium and cause the water in the eudiometer to rise because of the reaction. The final volume should be 49.92mL.A Key theory to know for this lab is Avogadro’s hypothesis. This statesthat “equal volumes of gases at the

its effective surface area is much the same as (or even less than) it would be if it were present in a single lump. A small heap of fine magnesium powder tends to burn rather more slowly than a strip of magnesium ribbon‚ for example. Imagine a reaction between magnesium metal and a dilute acid like hydrochloric acid. The reaction involves collision between magnesium atoms and hydrogen ions. How does surface area affect a chemical reaction? If one of the reactants is a solid‚ the surface area of the
