In the Kingdom Exploration lab‚ five different organisms were observed under a microscope‚ (Yeast‚ Paramecium‚ Elodea‚ Daphnia‚ Euglena). Each of these organisms is apart of one of the six kingdoms‚ (Eubacteria‚ Archaebacteria‚ Fungi‚ Protista‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia) which are apart of three domains‚ (Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukarya). In this lab‚ however‚ none of the organisms observed were archaea or bacteria. Also‚ all the organisms were eukaryotes‚ not prokaryotes‚ which are organisms without

Photosynthetic saturation is the maximum rate of photosynthesis. What was the value for photosynthetic saturation in tomato leaves? Answer Light quality does not effect the rate of photosynthesis. Answer Based on what you know about photosynthesis‚ provide possible reasons for what causes photosynthetic saturation (these cannot be determined from the graph). Answer Which color of visible light was least effective for photosynthesis? Answer What is the relationship

An eco-column is used to model an ecosystem on a smaller scale. The purpose of an eco-column is to examine how an actual ecosystem would respond to different conditions. Eco-columns typically have three chambers: the aquatic chamber‚ decomposition chamber‚ and terrestrial chamber. The aquatic chamber contains water and an aquatic plant‚ and it is at the bottom of the eco-column. The decomposition chamber contains items that will work as decomposers and as a possible catalyst for plant growth. Examples

The purpose of the experiment was to determine which macronutrient‚ nitrogen or phosphorous‚ had a greater influence on cultural eutrophication. It was hypothesized that nitrogen would cause a greater algal growth rate due to its higher abundance required in plant growth. Nitrogen and phosphorous were tested separately‚ where the concentration of each was increased while the other remained constant. The results showed a positive increase in algal growth rate in the phosphorous samples and a negative

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

In the BIO 14 Lab‚ the organismal system used for the last of three labs this semester is the Mimosa pudica plant. In these three weeks the stimulus-response of these plants will used to conduct experiments on the phenotypic plasticity of Mimosa pudica. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotypic traits in response to changes in the environment. And while very beneficial in some ways such as by allowing organisms to adapt to a changing environment quickly‚ it also

Introduction: Lycopene is a carotene because of its carbon and hydrogen composition. It is red in color and a member of the carotenoid family. Members of the carotenoid family play integral roles in plants. They use the absorption of light to aid in photosynthesis‚ and protect chlorophyll from damage. In humans‚ Lycopene acts as an antioxidant. Lycopene is found in various fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this experiment is the isolation of Lycopene from tomato paste. This is done using liquid/solid

All plants have stoma to help regulate how much water is taken and released along with the other chemicals involved. Stomatal density is the number of stomata per unit area of a leaf. The experiment conducted with leaves along a water source and away from a water source was to analyze the stomatal density difference. This experiment was performed to measure which environment had a greater effect on stomatal density. Stomata of a leaf is a miniature pore in the epidermis of a leaf surrounded by guard
