Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

Exocytosis Lab Report Rough Draft Abstract: In Paramecium caudatum‚ trichocysts are 10^3 secretory vesicles that are released from the cytoplasm. We first observed how the presence of Alcian blue dye triggers normal secretion of trichocysts‚ and we then tested four different hypotheses in order to determine how the presence of Ca++ ions in the extracellular and intracellular environment affects the secretion of trichocysts. Our first our hypothesis tested whether extracellular calcium is

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

Lab 4: Newton’s Second Law Lea Finocchi September 24‚ 2013 Partners: Amanda Okeefe‚ Sara Rojek‚ Kiran Kandola Objective: The objective of the first part of the experiment was to derive an expression‚ under conditions with negligible friction‚ for the acceleration of a cart on a level track when it is attached by a string to a hanging mass at the end of the track. With the value of acceleration and the mass of the weight divided by the mass of the weight plus the mass

Microscope lab report Introduction Microscope is a tool used to enlarge images of small objects that are hard to study with bare eyes. The compound light microscope‚ which is going to be used in this lab activity‚ is an instrument with two lenses and various knobs to focus the image. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives: •Demonstrate the appropriate procedures used while using the compound light microscope correctly. •Make and use a wet mount

Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives
