Biomes‚ every single spices lives in one. Biomes are large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat. They can be found over range of continents and have common characteristics with plants and animals. There are many types of Biomes on earth. BIomes are distinct from habitats‚ because any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. In our lab we had figure out the major components in a biome. For example‚ like the weather‚ what animals live in it‚ plant life‚ etc… And

Wanni Lin Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are

The objective of this lab was to recreate the color profile of a given solution. In this case‚ the solution was Powerade. The final solution should match the absorbance values at the peak wavelengths (420nm and 628nm) in Powerade. This lab was done using deionized water‚ FD&C Blue #1‚ FD&C Yellow #5‚ FD&C Red #40‚ and a spectrometer. To obtain the correct color profile‚ FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5 were utilized in the sample solutions. The experiment was conducted over two days; the first day

Abstract Photosynthesis is a food making process for algae and plants. The photosynthesis process rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate

Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

This lab activity will go over environmental factors that affect the folded structure of proteins. We used a raw egg and noted the changes that happen when there were changes in temperature‚ pH levels‚ and salinity. Five eggs were cracked open and placed into different bowls with different solutions placed into each bowl. What we looked at was the process of denaturing of proteins seeing how it affected the composition of the raw egg between the yoke and white portion. My hypothesis for this experiment

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not alter the equilibrium of a chemical reaction nor the amount of free energy that is released (Lab Manual 3 pg
