UNKNOWN LAB REPORT UNKNOWN NUMBER 54 Ron Williams 7-28-05 Bio 205 Prof. Curlee Fall 2005 Purpose There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory

Title: Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: To learn about the international system of units (SI)‚ to become familiar with common lab equipment and techniques‚ to gain proficiency in determining volume‚ mass‚ length‚ and temperature of a variety of items using common laboratory measurement devices‚ to learn to combine units to determine density and concentration‚ and to use laboratory equipment to create serial dilutions and determine the density and concentration of each dilution. Procedure:

bacteria towards the chloroplasts in a strand of “Spirogyra” algae. Engelmann hypothesized that the bacteria were moving in response to oxygen generated by the photo synthetically active chloroplasts in the algae. This was one of the first documented observations of positive aero taxis in bacteria. In 1882‚ he performed his famous action spectrum experiment using a device designed and built by Carl Zeiss. The modified microscope had a prism which could produce a microscopic spectrum on a microscope slide

What Is Microbiology? Microbiology is the study (logy) of very small (micro) living (bio) things. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms. These "bugs" include: bacteria (that’s the Latin plural for bacterium); viruses (that’s the non-Latin plural for virus - virii sounds weird‚ so I don’t say it); and‚ fungi (that’s the Latin plural for fungus - which by now you have guessed‚ or already knew‚ and may not be all that interested to know‚ anyway). Microbiology is actually made up of several

Date report submitted: June 18‚ 2015 Title: Lab Techniques and Measurements PURPOSE: The purpose of this experiment is for the students to get a better knowledge with the laboratory tools and techniques. This experiment taught me how to convert between SI units and standard American units of mass‚ length‚ temperature‚ volume and time as well as how to measure the units. Students become proficient in laboratory techniques such as measuring temperature and volume and calculating within them. Procedure:
