turn off the primary production. Darkness has no effect on respiration. This is because cellular respiration is actually the reverse process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is a necessity of life requirements for basically all living organisms.* In this lab we are testing how different levels of salinity in the water indirectly affects the gross primary productivity in aquatic plants. To measure this you would use the light and dark bottle method. Only respiration (R) can occur in the bottle stored in

franciscana are known to live in high salinity lakes that are often basic (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Furthermore‚ A. franciscana feed on photosynthetic phytoplankton which inhabit areas of light availability but are also more susceptible to predation in highly-lit areas (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Also‚ A. franciscana can withstand a broad range of temperature except extreme values may affect survival (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). In this experiment‚ the habitat

Organismic Lab Lab1- Dichotomous Key Introduction A dichotomous key is a series of paired statements or questions that are used to categorize organisms with their similarities in characteristics and or structure. The word dichotomous comes from two Greek words that translate to “divided in two parts.” In a Dichotomous key each step has two choices: whether a particular characteristic is present or absent. The questions

et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away from the light source. In this lab the independent variable is the light

Grignard Synthesis of Tirphenylmethanol David Szuminsky Organic Chemistry Lab II Shaopeng Zhang Monday 1PM 2/10/14 & 2/24/14 - Abstract A sample of triphenylmethanol was prepared using Grignard synthesis techniques. Reflux was used in order to speed up the reaction and the final product was purified using recrystallization methods. The percent recovery and percent yield were 80.46% and 47.526%‚ respectively. A melting point range of 85-87oC was obtained from

that cigarettes release more then 20 carcinogens know to promote lung cancer into your body. (Hecht‚ 2010). When looking at the cilia exposed to cigarette smoke in this lab it is seen that they have been greatly slowed down when compared to the uncontaminated cilia‚ and parts of the cells are covered in tar from the tobacco. For this lab it was hypothesized that smoking will inhibit the ciliary action and lower the quality filter the greater affect will be exhibited by the effected cilia. The prediction

Joshua Berkebile 8-26-10 1st period Density Lab The purpose of this lab was to find the mass‚ the length‚ the width and the height of 4 different cubes so we could calculate the volume and density of them. We also had to find the density of irregular shapes by dropping them into a graduated cylinder than subtracting the starting water volume by the ending water volume. Density is how much mass is in a certain volume of matter. Volume is the amount of room that an object

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the Stroop phenomenon is equally strong in both brain hemispheres. Participants collected from our research methods lab were asked to complete an online experiment measuring the time of interference it took them to depict the color of the ink of the color-words. Furthermore‚ each color was assigned a number. For example‚ the ink color red was represented by the number

Abstract: Two parts of this lab were performed involving photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The first part of the lab consisted of cutting out spinach leaf disks with a straw and then putting them into syringes containing an infiltration solution and sodium bicarbonate. Then the syringes were place under the presence of light and watched as certain disks floated. This part of the lab consisted of watching photosynthesis take place. Then for the second part of the lab we tested cellular respiration
