Microbiology Archae are tiny microbes with no cell nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Originally thought to be extremophiles living in harsh environments‚ these creatures can live a range of habitats like oceans‚ soils and even salty lakes. Overall‚ these organisms are special and different from other life forms. The rise of archae is one of the main differences why scientist distinct it from other prokaryotes. In the past‚ archae was classified an archaebacteria‚ but now with better

Lab Report 2: Quantitative Analysis Finding the Percentage Composition of Nickel in an Unknown Compound Introduction: This section of lab was about using analytical chemistry and learning how to identify the amount of nickel in an unknown substance. The purpose was to use gravimetric analysis to quantitatively separate and weigh insoluble reaction products as well as utilize the mole method to compute the amount and percentage of nickel in an unknown nickel sample. The chemical reaction that took

Determination of An Unknown Amino Acid From Titration Abstract Experiment 11 used a titration curve to determine the identity of an unknown amino acid. The initial pH of the solution was 1.96‚ and the pKa’s found experimentally were 2.0‚ 4.0‚ and 9.85. The accepted pKa values were found to be 2.10‚ 4.07‚ and 9.47. The molecular weight was calculated to be 176.3 while the accepted value was found to be 183.5. The identity of the unknown amino acid was established to be glutamic acid‚

Prof. Kimberly Rutledge BIO 150 - Unknown Bacterium Identification March 26‚ 2014 Lap Report Unknown Number : #12 Name of Unknown : Pseudomona aerugninosa The identification of unknown bacteria is a time-honored part of microbiology courses. It will challenge my knowledge and skill in performing laboratory techniques and my ability to critically evaluate the information obtained from these techniques. The unknown bacterium tube number 12 was picked. According to the procedures that we have

of biological system is usually preferred as the pH system‚ which determines the pH level of dilute aqueous solutions. In this laboratory‚ the data collected from the experiment will be used to graph the titration curves which help to identify an unknown amino acid. IntroductionAmino acids are simple monomers which are strung together to form proteins. Amino acids play a key cellular role in structure and function. Proteins themselves participate in nearly every physiological event in the cell. Since

Using a Dumas method‚ you are asked to identify the unknown pure liquid by comparing the molar masses of the given possible substances (ethanol‚ methanol‚ isopropanol‚ acetone). Introduction Dumas Method allows us to measure the molar mass of the substance‚ using the Ideal Gas Law. The Ideal Gas Law‚ PV=nRT‚ explains the behaviour of the gases that are near 100kPa and in the room temperature. This equation shows the product of the pressure(P) and volume(V) equals to the product of the number of moles(n)

MICROBIOLOGY SECTION The microbiology section aims at studying yu ailments and diseases from the isolation of suspected causative organisms. The processes involved in the isolation of these organisms include; culturing‚ staining‚ microscopy and sensitivity tests. Samples collected for examination include; stool‚ blood‚ sputum‚ urine‚ vaginal swab‚ wound swab and wound biopsy. Bacterial Culturing and sensitivity Cultures are carried out to isolate suspected organisms from a sample. There are different
