Introduction to the Microbial World; History of Microbiology By: Case Assignment Module 1 MIC 100: TUI University Date: March 17‚ 2013 In response to the web site article about Edward Jenner‚ I believe the author paid an over emphasis on the how the discovery of the small pox vaccine was the greatest of public health achievements of all times. But I am of a different opinion. I believe that despite this great contribution‚ Edward Jenner does not deserve the greater credit in his

Pollution problems that are serious but that are relatively unknown Many kinds of pollution exist worldwide. Many familiar pollution problems are known to many people such as pollution from the garbage‚ air pollution from cars and industry‚ pollution released into water from the factories and so on. There are many occurring spots worldwide that serious pollution problems have taken place‚ but do you wonder where those places are? Some of the significant scenes are worth knowing. Here are some scenes

Titration is a method used to help determine the concentration of an unknown solution (the analyte) by using a solution of known concentration (the titrant).1 In medicine‚ titration helps doctors determine unknown concentrations of substances in the blood or urine‚ and it is useful in determining the proper dosage of medication. Titration can determine fat and water contents‚ and unknown concentrations of vitamins. With food‚ titration can be used to determine whether cheese or wine is adequately

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to be able to apply our knowledge of chemistry to identify 10 unknown elements that were presented to us. We were allowed to use Bunsen burners‚ hydrochloric acid‚ use PH paper to test if the unknown solution is an acid or a base‚ and precipitate each unknown solution with each other. Procedure / Data / Conclusions: Unknown #1: I found solution 1 to be KI. While doing the precipitate reactions‚ I found that it precipitates only

Identifying an Unknown Aldehyde or Ketone Introduction The purpose of this lab is to identify an unknown aldehyde or ketone substance using chemical tests. The chemical tests used in this experiment are solubility‚ Schiff‚ Bisulfite‚ and Iodoform tests. Also‚ a 2‚4-dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative synthesis reaction will be completed from which a melting point will be obtained. The chemical test results and the melting point analysis will be compared to the table of compounds given to find the

Mixed Race America The works of Child of the America’s by Aurora Levins Morales and What It’s Like to be a Black Girl (For Those of You Who Aren’t) by Patricia Smith was because of the direct contrast of the statements “I am whole” in Morales poem verses “…and feeling like you’re not finished” in Smith’s poem. Both statements in these poems are strong‚ stating a completion of a human soul and both poems are in agreement that race is a part of the completion to the human soul. Levins Morales’

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

Purpose: I will identify an unknown liquid by obtaining an average density & boiling point for my liquid and comparing them with the known densities & boiling points of liquids in the CRC handbook of Chemistry & Physics. I will perform these experiments using three different measuring tools (graduated cylinder‚ burette & pipette) to evaluate the precision of each one. Results: Density 1‚ 2 & 3 calculated by using graduated cylinder to obtain volume. Density 4‚ 5 & 6 calculated by using volumetric
