Purpose: To identify an unknown bacterial specimen using basic laboratory technique and biochemical tests. The unknown bacteria will be one of the following: Enterococcus faecalis‚ Staphylococcus saprophyticus‚ Escherichia coli‚ Enterobacter aerogenes‚ Proteus vulgaris‚ Salmonella [I assume typhimurium]‚ or Shigella [either flexneri or sonnei‚ we used both in our lab during the semester]. Procedure {and observations}: Observe bacterial colony morphology. {Colonies are large‚ beige or

The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye

Lab Questions: Lab #4 * Why are the chloroplasts traveling along the outer perimeter of the Elodea cell? The chloroplast are traveling along the outer perimeter to help move the vital nutrients thought the cells and convert them to substances used in the cell of the elodea cell. * What is the typical size difference between animal cells and bacterial cells? One of the main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is a bacterial cell contains a plasmid‚ a ring of DNA‚ opposed

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

reproductive. Orientation is when the organism is placed in their beneficial environment consisting of two behaviors‚ taxis (movement directly towards or away something) and kinesis (random movement). Reproductive is detected using drosophila in this lab‚ it consists of finding courting and mating with another of the species Agnostic behavior is found in a situation where the animal feels threated by another‚ leading to the organism looking bigger or more threatening to the opponent. Within the Agnostic
