AP Lab #5 Plant Pigments/Photosynthesis I. Identifying the Effects of Different Variables of Light and Carbon Dioxide on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Observing the Separation of Pigments Through Chromatography II. Introduction Plants have a variety of pigments‚ all of which absorb a different color of light. The three main pigments are chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and carotenoids. Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment that absorbs red and blue light‚ which ultimately appears green to the human eye

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

Lab Report 3: Daphnia‚ Human and Crayfish Cardiac Activity Introduction An electrocardiogram‚ abbreviated as ECG in this report‚ is a visual representation of an organism’s atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Previous research has shown that although there is variability in the amplitude and shape of the waves of ECG‚ dependent on the subject’s health‚ it follows a universal pattern that can be used effectively for biometrics. The experiments discussed in this lab report were

Michele Hindmarsh mhindma@my.wgu.edu Student ID# 000383032 MLT1 – Experiment 5; Task 6 Differential Staining Heidi Atkinson‚ MS Lab Experiment #5-Differential Staining Through the process of differential staining‚ there are distinct differences between the cell walls of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In the case of gram-positive bacteria‚ the cell wall is comprised of 60-90% peptidoglycan and is very thick. There are numerous layers of teichoic acid bound with peptidoglycan

findings: My hypothesis was that garlic decreases the growth of bacteria substantially‚ which my experiment and results have proven to be correct. In order to prove my hypothesis correct‚ I carried out an experiment where I grew bacteria on 14 different agar plates and placed garlic on seven of the agar plates and then had no garlic present in the other seven agar plates. All 14 agar plates were kept under the same conditions while the bacteria colony was growing in order to ensure that all factors were

Reetika Kashyap September 20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that

Blood Smear Test – Haematology 21/11/12 Aim The aim of this experiment is to identify the morphological features of Erythrocytes‚ leukocytes and Thrombocytes‚ to carry out out a differential white cell count and to describe the parameters used to identify different types of anaemias. Introduction Blood is a specialised body fluid‚ which acts as a liquid connective tissue‚ by being involved around the heart and the blood vessels within the body. The main components of the blood is 55%

a laboratory due to its distinctive smell. At room temperature‚ agar is a gel and it stays firm at 65ºC and melts at 85ºC. It solidifies when the temperature reaches 32 – 40ºC. It is used as various microoragnisms’ culture medium‚ especially for bacteria and it is also served as a thickening for soups and sauces‚ in jellies and ice cream‚ in cosmetics‚ for clarifying beverages‚ and for sizing fabrics. Agar is also used in medicines to promote peristalsis and relieve constipation and is resistant
