the time needed to stop the momentum of the individual in the car. If the time is increased‚ the force of impact will decrease. Research shows that the mass of a car‚ rather than the size‚ is the leading factor in reducing the risk of fatality. In a report done testing this theory in 1992‚ Evans concludes‚ “Mass is the dominant causative factor in relationships between driver risk and car size in two-car crashes‚ with size‚ as such‚ playing at most a secondary role. Reducing car mass increases occupant

Experiment 21: Salmonella and food contamination Purpose /Objective Objective: To test salmonella in spinach sample over five lab periods. Food contamination of salmonella can cause serious illness. Only small numbers of salmonella need to be found for a food product to be considered contaminated. Tests used Pre-enrichment- lactose broth Selective enrichment broth- with Tetrathionate Brilliant Broth Selective Plating- Brilliant Green Agar Isolation of salmonella conformation- is preformed

Meiossis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in the Model Organism‚ Sordaria. By: Katie Fiorillo BIO110 Lab TA: Lauren Smith October 30‚ 2012 A. INTRODUCTION: In this lab‚ the organism Sordaria fimicola was used to explore factors contributing to genetic evolution of sexual reproduction. These organisms are found in “Evolution Canyons‚” which occur when two mountain slopes with very different climatic conditions congregate with a comparatively small valley

for the control and the other dish was used for the experiment. To each of the Petri dishes 1 mL of buffer solution was added. At station 1 the control two drops of ATP were added to each Petri dish. The control Petri dish was left alone and a pipette was used to deliver several drops of acetic acid to the experimental dish. Several drops of sodium hydroxide were added to the experimental dish. Results were observed and recorded. At station 2 the control Petri dish was left alone on the table

Effects of Temperature on the Formation of Cheese Curds This lab was performed in order to find what temperature the enzyme chymosin is most effective at forming cheese curds. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biological reactions in cells. They work by lowering the activation energy and help to orient the molecules correctly. Chymosin was originally taken from the stomachs of calves‚ and was called rennet‚ and then purified to make rennin. Eventually to catch up with

Introduction: Mitosis occurs in all eukaryotic cell tissues and produces genetically identical daughter cells with a complete set of chromosomes. In humans‚ mitosis produces somatic cells that are diploid‚ which means they contain two non-identical copies of each of the twenty-three chromosomes. One copy is derived from the person’s mother and the other from the person’s father. Meiosis‚ on the other hand‚ occurs only in testis and ovary tissues‚ producing sperm and ova (eggs). The gametes that

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

The objective of the deicer lab was to successfully conduct experiments to determine the usefulness of magnesium chloride as a deicer. To find how successful magnesium chloride is as a deicer‚ experiments were conducted to determine the freezing point depression‚ enthalpy of dissolution‚ the impact on the surrounding environment‚ and also the expenses of using magnesium chloride as a deicer. For magnesium chloride to be determined as a good deicer‚ the reaction with water needs to be exothermic so
