Title: Liquids and Solids Purpose: The experiment will help determine two important physical properties‚ boiling and melting point‚ of liquids and solids. Procedure: Before starting the experiment I gathered all materials appropriate for the experiment and prepare a safe environment for my experiment. I record the boiling point of the Isopropyl Alcohol and the melting point of powdered Acetamide with lab equipment such as the thermometer‚ capillary tube‚ beaker‚ test tube‚ and burner fuel

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

the NIH3T3 cells. Three pieces of Whatman paper were wet in transfer buffer and placed on the anode plate. A wet PVDF membrane was placed on top of the Whatman paper. The gel was removed from holder and the stacking gel was removed. Forceps were used to place the gel onto the wet membrane and another Whatman paper was placed on top of the. The cathode plate was placed and started the transfer. Then the membrane was placed in TBST containing 5% milk for 60 minute while shaking. The membrane was rinsed

Hand Washing Experiment Outline I. Introduction a. This lab was conducted in order to understand and apply the scientific method. The experiment tested the effectiveness of reducing microorganism (bacteria) with the use of various hand soaps. b. Hypothesis: If the Harris Teeter Foaming Hand Soap is more effective in reducing bacterial growth than the Soft Soap hand soap‚ then there will be less bacterial/microorganism growth present on the agar plate for the Harris Teeter Foaming

water or iron. Inorganic substances can be built up into organic compounds by living organisms. All living matter is made up of small units called cells. Some organisms‚ such as bacteria‚ consist of one single cell; others‚ like human beings‚ consist of many hundreds of millions of cells‚ all functioning together to make a complete whole. All living cells‚ however simple‚ have certain characteristics which are always present. These characteristics are: * Activity * Respiration * Digestion

Investigating the effects of temperature on cell membranes Independent variable: Temperature of beetroot Dependent variable: Absorbency of light Hypothesis: As temperature rises to its optimum temperature‚ the absorbency of light will increase because protein is an enzyme and will therefore be affected by temperature. This is because more beetroot dye will pass through the cell membrane and then into the distilled water. The deeper the colour of the beetroot dye‚ the higher the absorbency

Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

The Effect of Temperature on Beet Cell Membranes and Concentration of Betacyanin Released Introduction Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell et al.‚ 2008). Each membrane layer is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and

Under Microscope Lab Report A. The purpose of the investigation is to determine the time an onion cell spends in each part of the cell cycle. B. The significance of this investigation is to help us understand and know how long cells are undergoing mitosis. My personal interest is to know the phases of mitosis in cells in order to someday help find cures for cancer. C. The cell cycle is a chronological set of events‚ culminating in cell growth and division into two daughter cells. Some of the reasons
