Vocabulary words II: 1. Closed system - a region that is isolated from its surroundings by a boundary that admits no transfer of matter or energy across it 2. Undefined media - basal or complex media 3. Z-streak - is a technique used to isolate a pure strain from a single species of microorganism‚ often bacteria 4. Selective media – a growth medium or culture medium is a liquid or gel designed to support the growth of microorganisms or cells‚ or small plant 5. Differential media -are

Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at other times the molecular movement from one direction exceeds the movement from other direction and creates a net movement. This net movement is called osmosis. Osmosis is due to differences

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of plant cells by osmosis. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubes as they provide a ready supply of homogeneous material. I did the investigation in two parts‚ the first part of my investigation was my preliminary investigation and then I did my official investigation. In both of my investigations there are several similarities‚ such as fair testing‚ variables‚ key variables‚ reliability

Dr. Annie Cu Gallardo BSE-Biological Sciences III-3 Microbiology (Lecture) Microbiology Written Report REPORT NO. 1 Prokaryotes: Bacteria Most of us have been conditioned to think of bacteria as invisible‚ potentially harmful little creatures. Actually‚ relatively few species of bacteria cause disease in humans‚ animals‚ plants‚ or any other organisms. In fact‚ all organisms made up of eukaryotic cells probably evolved from bacteria-like organisms‚ which were some

Introduction In Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium

EC Assignment 1) First‚ the urine sample container should be labeled accordingly. Urine samples and transport containers should be free of any particles or anything that may interfere with the sample. The sample should be in a secure container with a leak resistant lid; this will also prevent exposure to the person handling the sample while also protecting the sample from being contaminated. It is important to not reuse any specimen container to insure that the sample is in a sterile environment

Chapter 5 – Short answer a) Phosphorylation - the addition of phosphate to a chemical compound b) What are the 3 mechanisms of phosphorylation used by organisms? • Substrate level phosphorylation – ATP is generated when a high-energy phosphate is directly transferred from a phosphorylated compound (substrate) to ADP • Oxidative phosphorylation – electrons are transferred from a group of organic compounds to a group of electron carriers (NAD+ and FAD); occurs in inner mitochondrial

Pathology: The study of disease Etiology: The study of the cause of a disease Pathogenesis: The development of disease Infection: Colonization of the body by pathogens Virulence - the ability to infect a host Pathogenicity - the ability to cause disease in a host Outbreak – (localized epidemic) – more cases of a particular disease than expected in a given area or among a specialized group of people over a particular period of time. Epidemic – large numbers of people over a wide geographic
