Homeostasis Lab: The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Purpose: To discover the effect that various levels of exercise have on specific body parameters. Hypothesis: If a subject walks up and down a flight of stairs for eight minutes‚ then they start to sweat more‚ their heart rate‚ body temperature‚ and breathing rate will increase‚ and there will be a change in their skin color on their arms and face‚ because the body will be trying to maintain homeostasis. Materials: You will

Bioinformatics Lab Report Hypothetical Phylogenetic Tree: Using a cladistic approach‚ we constructed a hypothetical phylogenetic tree of many different plant taxa by comparing their morphologies. We first decided to sort the various types of plants into groups based on morphological features. After sorting these plants into five different groups we began to determine how the plants differed from eachother in the group and what features set them apart. From this we started to create

Lab Report Enzymes (must be typed) Name: Amanda Gallegos Date: 2/15/15 Section: BIOL 101GL What is the Hypothesis of this experiment? (3 points) -The highest temperature will affect the reaction rate of enzymes. What is the dependent variable? (1 point) -Change of rate/product/color/absorbency. What is the independent variable? (1 pt) -The temperature. Explain in detail the procedure that you followed (including amount of substrate‚ enzyme etc‚ and the whole procedure including incubation times)

Succession Lab INTRODUCTION: The purpose of our lab was to begin to understand the rates of succession. Succession is a number of persons or things following one another in order or sequence. Considering that all living things follow some sort of order‚ Joey Collins‚ Brian Carman‚ Chris Broadwater‚ Marisa Grondin‚ and I attempted to figure the succession rates of two different forests. In order to do this we used the forest behind the elementary school and the forest behind the track‚ by the

This purpose of the lab was to observe and compare the reactivity of the elements within groups and the reactivity of the groups themselves. The elements of each group were reacted with fire‚ acid (HCl or HNO3)‚ or in deionized water. According to the observations‚ the most reactive group was the alkali metals. Since the alkali metals are in group 1‚ they only have one valence electron and can easily lose this electron. As you move towards the right of the periodic table‚ the number of electrons

Introduction In this lab we had to design a system that would test if changing the mass‚ angle of release and length would have any effect on the period of a pendulum. Hypothesis As the length‚ mass and angle of release change‚ the period (T) will change for each one of these factors.

to examine when and where proteins are being expressed‚ rate of degradation‚ modifications‚ how they interact with other proteins and more. The goal in this lab was to determine the similarities and differences in muscle proteins among 5 species of fish using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. First‚ proteins are separated based on size. Second‚ antibodies are used to detect the protein of interest. Lastly‚ a substrate that responds with an enzyme is used to view the antibody/protein complex. Within

Figure 1.2 Figure 1.2 This figure shows the black constructed paper box that we used to cover the clear two-part container for the second trial of the dark environment. Next‚ we decided to change the experiment a little. We wanted to test if different colors of light‚ has an effect on ladybug feeding. We set up two lamps; one with red lighting and the other with blue lighting. Again

We were able to measure enzymatic activity by the change in absorbance per second with a spectrophotometer. By testing different concentrations of peroxidase and its reaction rate in seconds‚ we were able to see that as the amount of enzyme increased the catalytic reaction also increased. The optimal amount of peroxidase concentration to be used in the subsequent experiments was
