Introduction: Capture and recapture is a method to observe animals‚ give information on survival‚ recruitment‚ and size of the population. You capture the animals and mark them and release them. Mark and release repeatedly. Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the amount of marked beans of the beans we would catch. Hypothesis: If the number of marked beans represents the number of the mocking jays in the forest and the unmarked beans are the food supply then the mocking jays population

Unknown Project I. Introduction The purpose to this lab was to isolate and identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture provided to us. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been instructed on thus far in microbiology laboratory class. Each test performed‚ provided us with some key information about the unknown microbes in question . The identification of unknown bacteria is a time honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge knowledge and skill in performing

Systems Biology Systems biology involves the study of an organism as one single system. Instead of analysing all the individual components that make up a cell‚ the cell is instead viewed as an interacting network of genes‚ proteins and biochemical reactions and these are studied as a whole. In 20th century‚ molecular biology was focused upon. A ‘reductionist’ approach was followed‚ in which the individual components‚ such as the cell nucleus or sugar metabolism‚ were studied in isolation. However

Some food in this world are made using microorganism to produce a desire flavour‚ taste and texture of the food. For examples: yogurt‚ tapai‚ cheese‚ bread and others. Starter cultures is used in these food production. A starter culture is a microbiological culture which actually perform fermentation. These starters usually consist of a cultivation medium‚ such as grains‚ seeds‚ or nutrient liquids that have been well colonized by the microorganisms used for the fermentation. These starters are formed

RESEARCH QUESTION How does the glucose concentration effects the time taken for the potassium permanganate to decolourise from purple to colourless ? HYPOTHESIS The higher the glucose concentration the shorter the time taken for the potassium permanganate to decolourise from purple to colourless. VARIABLES VARIABLE | UNITS | RANGE | METHOD FOR CONTROL | INDEPENDENT VARIABLE-Concentration of glucose solution | % | 5%10%15%20%25%30% | Different glucose concentration are tested | DEPENDENT VARIABLE-The

Purpose: We are doing this experiment to find the best ratio of potassium nitrate to powdered sugar for a model rocket motor that will create the most thrust. We are also testing if adding fins will affect the flight distance of the rocket. Hypothesis: The best ratio for potassium nitrate to powdered sugar is 1 to 3 because Grant Thompson‚ who has experimented with the best ratio of powdered sugar to potassium nitrate‚ has stated that “The 1 to 3 ratio is best for creating the most amount of thrust

tablets. In the experiment they first tested how long an Alka-Seltzer tablet would dissolve in cold water ( 9 degrees) then repeated it two more times in order to calculate a mean. Then using a hot plate to heat the water‚ they tested another tablet in the hot water (51 degrees) to see how long it would take to dissolve and again did it two more times to calculate a mean. Finally they tested another tablet in water left on the hot plate for thirty-seconds (81 degrees)‚ preformed the experiment for two more
