William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary‚ tertiary

different organelles each specifically designed to carry out their function‚ and this is known as a cells ultrastrucure. All cells have a cell surface membrane; these are made up of phospholipids and make up a bilayer. A phospholipid has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail which is made up of 2 fatty acid chains; these are arranged is two layers with the tails facing inwards. Lipids soluble material can move through the plasma membrane but water soluble substance are unable to pass and therefore

Lab Report: Understanding Photosynthesis Gen Biology Lab Abstract: This lab was called photosynthesis: understanding photosynthesis. It is a highly complex process that needs to be broken down in many steps to understand how it works. This lab covers the big components in photosynthesis including carbon dioxide intake‚ light consumption‚ and varying pigmentation. Introduction: Photosynthesis is a huge concept to learn and understand in the field of biology. Plants have their own special

Abstract: In this Lab we used the chemical DPIP to detect the rate of succinate broken down by the mitochondrial solution. We detected the amount of DPIP in the solution with a spectrophotometer and measuring the absorbance of light at the 600nm range. DPIP is a useful chemical to use in this experiment because it goes from a blue color when oxidized to a colorless liquid (Ogura‚ 281)‚ this is due to the hydrogen ions and electrons released during the transitional step between succinate and fumarate

December 8‚ 2013 Soil Analysis Lab Report Intro: Soil is produced over hundreds of years through the weathering of rocks and the decomposition of organic material. Soil contains nutrients that are taken from decomposed animals and plants which turn to detritus. Nutrients such as nitrogen are added to the soil in these ways by organisms such as nitrogen fixing bacteria. Soil is important because it is the fuel to the plants that we need in order to survive and for all species to survive. Soil

6 November 2012 SUBJECT: Lab Report Analysis This memo proposes the observations and claims I collected from reviewing three different lab reports. Three fields of study are composed within this memo that includes Electrical Engineering‚ Environmental Engineering‚ and Petroleum Engineering. “Electrical Filters‚” (Electrical)‚ written by Joe Schmoe‚ is a lab report made by a student at a university. The College Board produced an environmental lab report named‚ “Monitoring Air Quality‚”

go through the whole process of osmosis. Also‚ a lot of the experiment was rushed as we were under pressure to finish as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the time constraint was caused by and outside influence unrelated to the lab itself‚ and so next time we could do a lab under normal conditions where there are no outside disturbances. There were weight differences in the potatoes which could have caused thicker potatoes to absorb more than others. It was a little impossible to obtain the same

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

OBJECTIVES 1. Learn to use digital photography for visual documentation of specimen. 2. Locate and discuss the external and internal anatomy of the cartilaginous fish. 3. Draw and identify the external and internal features. 4. Describe the function for each feature. METHODOLOGY 1. The briefing on the experiment is given by the demonstrator. 2. The full images of the specimens and other important features are taken for identification purposes by using white slate board as the background

Determination of Florfenicol in Catfish by UV-mediated High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) 1. Introduction 1.1 Description of the Analyte Florfenicol (C12H14Cl2FNO4S) is a derivative of thiamphenicol. Its structure is identical to that of chloramphenicol – a synthetically developed antibiotic for veterinary use‚ such as treating a wide range of bacterial infections (Hayes p. 7). It is commercially available as 50 percent of Aquaflor® premix‚ which has been approved for the control of bacteria
