performed and the power developed when climbing a set of stairs and to determine the relationship between power and time. Pre-Lab Questions: 1. Power is the rate at which work is done. The work divided by the time it takes for the work to be done equals power. 2. The unit for power is the Watt which is Joules/second. 3. One horsepower (hp) is 746 watts. Procedure: In this lab‚ we calculated the work performed and the power that person creates when he or she climbs and runs a set of stairs. Each

Would you expect all types of microbes in your samples to grow well on nutrient agar at room temperature? Why or why not? The answer is no since microbes thrive well in different conditions.

Lab 11: Animal Behavior Introduction Ethology is the study of animal behavior. There are two specific categories of behavior: learned ad innate. Orientation behaviors place the animal in their specific environment. Animals move away from sensory input in taxis where as behavior is the response to sensory input. Stimulus’ of light‚ heat‚ moisture‚ sound‚ or chemicals are mostly found in taxis. Kinesis is the movement that does not result in orientation with stimulus. When animals respond to each

Dr. GEORGE ROMBO Cholera This is an infection of the small intestine caused by bacterium vibrio cholera. Transmission is mostly from the fecal contamination of food and water that is caused by poor sanitation Susceptibility About 100 million bacteria must typically be ingested to cause cholera in a normal healthy adult. Children are also more susceptible with 2- 4 year old having the highest rates of infection Individual susceptibility to cholera is also affected by their blood type with

Lab 1‚ Exercise 1 • Based on the information in Table 2‚ what patterns do you observe? The number of fish that I observed in a body of water increases until the dissolved oxygen was at 12 ppm. After that point‚ the number of fish declines slightly. • Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. When the dissolved oxygen levels increase‚ the number of fish that

What is Food Microbiology Food microbiology is the study of food micro-organisms; how we can identify and culture them‚ how they live‚ how some infect and cause disease and how we can make use of their activities. Microbes are single-cell organisms so tiny that millions can fit into the eye of a needle. They are the oldest form of life on earth. Microbe fossils date back more than 3.5 billion years to a time when the Earth was covered with oceans that regularly reached the boiling point‚ hundreds

contrast laser scanning confocal and multiphoton microscopy in 250-500 words. Both confocal and two-photon (multi-photon) laser imaging can generate 3D images by capturing a stack of optical sections at different focal planes. In confocal microscopy‚ a detector pinhole which rejects fluorescence from off-focus locations is used; while‚ two- photon microscopy is capable of giving 3D contrast and resolution (comparable to confocal microscopy) without the necessity for the detector pinhole
