LSM1102 Lab Report Introduction Transformation is a process which involves plasmid DNA being bound to the cell surface and the subsequent uptake of DNA by the cell (Panja et al.‚ 2008). For artificial transformation of E. coli cells with plasmids‚ plasmid DNA has to be extracted from bacterial cells using the High-Speed Plasmid Mini Kit‚ which is then mixed with competent E. coli cells followed by heat shock and the streaking of transformed cells on two different types of agar plate (LB and LB+ampicillin)

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Joe Schmoe Period 3 March 8‚ 2013 Lab Report: Empirical Formula of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl) * Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to determine the empirical formula. Empirical means “based on experimental evidence.” * Experimental Design The reaction that occurred was the reaction of the elements Zinc (Zn) and Chloride (Cl) by mixing a piece(s) of Zinc and 50mL of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). The amount of Zinc was determined to be between 1.00g and 1.25g. As the reaction

Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion

Lab Report 1: Natural Selection Introduction: In today’s lab we learned how natural selection and survival of the fitness took place in Darwin theory by testing it out with four different utensils which were Spoon‚ Fork‚ chopstick‚ and clothespin which represent the four different types of bird beaks. Our goal was to see which one utensil ( bird beak) would outcome the other four utensil ( bird beak) by being able to survive with the limit amount of food‚ the environmental chances‚ and see who

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus
