Yentl Smith BIOL 3810-504 Compound Action Potentials Date Performed: 15FEB2011 Date Due: 01MAR2011 Introduction Neurons are the cells that receive and transmit electrical signals (University of North Texas‚ 2010). The ability of the neuron to conduct these impulses is because of an electrochemical voltage across the plasma membrane of that neuron. An action potential is an all or nothing response to a stimulus along a single axon. A compound action potential is a graded response that

Rationale Abstract: This investigatory project was conducted to test the affectivity of organic and synthetic fertilizers when apply on okra plant. It also aims to test whether‚ which is better to use between the two fertilizers. In order to conduct the study we have used okra seeds‚ polyethylene bag and cemetery soil as organic fertilizer‚ synthetic fertilizer‚ and black soil‚ labeled it as setup A (Organic Fertilizer) setup B (Synthetic Fertilizer). Then we observed the changes in the plant for

Organic Farming Organic farming is a form of agriculture that does not use synthetic‚ which means artificial‚ fertilizers‚ pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Organic basically defines a way of growing‚ processing‚ and handling food. Organic farming promotes biodiversity. The dictionary defines biodiversity as the diversity among and within plant and animal species in an environment. The goals of organic farming includes maintaining diverse crops‚ keeping soil healthy‚ reducing pollution

Quaternary ammonium compounds‚ QAC‚ are ingredients found in household products such as fabric softeners‚ detergents‚ disinfectants‚ and hair products that consist of dialkyldimethylammonium compounds (DADMC)‚ benzylalkyldimethylammonium compounds (BAC) and alkyltrimethylammonium compounds (ATMAC) (Li and Brownawell 2010). While trying to find the reason why these rivers keep getting contaminated‚ Brownawell found out that the wastewater areas found in surficial sediments around the Hudson River

Title: Benedict ’s test for Reducing Sugars Testable Question: Are all carbohydrates reducing sugars? Hypothesis: If the carbohydrate contains available ketone or aldehyde molecules then they are reducing sugars. Variables: a. Independent: Function groups react w/ reagent b. Dependent: Color change (red‚ orange‚ yellow) Control: Water Materials: - 4 mL of each solution (Water‚ Starch‚ Glucose‚ Maltose‚ Sucrose‚ Onion Juice‚ Potato slice‚ Milk) - 8 test tubes

well as throughout the world. They also provide programs that teach people about how to get the nutrition they need to lead healthy lifestyles. They offer classes over the basics of nutrition‚ cooking with what you have‚ buying on a budget‚ and on organic gardening as well. Which are all reasons why I have been very excited to help and to learn about everything that The High Plains Food Bank and Garden has to offer to everyone throughout the panhandle.

The Compound Light Microscope Commonly binocular (two eyepieces)‚ the compound light microscope‚ combines the power of lenses and light to enlarge the subject being viewed. Typically‚ the eyepiece itself allows for 10X or 15X magnification and when combined with the three or four objective lenses‚ which can be rotated into the field of view‚ produce higher magnification to a maximum of around 1000X generally. The compound light microscope is popular among botanists for studying plant cells‚ in
