Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules

Fly Lab Shannon Ladd Introduction: Famers and herders have been selectively breeding their plans and animals to produce more useful hybrids for thousands of years. It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown. Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. A contributing geneticist named Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)‚ discovered through

organelle in the plant cell because it carries out very important cellular reactions in the cell like the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation which is how the plants produce ATP from the pyruvate produced through glycolysis (Meyer and Millar‚ 2008). Glycolysis produces a net of 2 ATP for the plant which is not enough for the cell to function while the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain produces a net of 36 ATP which makes the mitochondria the power house of the plant cell (Meyer and Millar

Bioinformatics Lab Report Hypothetical Phylogenetic Tree: Using a cladistic approach‚ we constructed a hypothetical phylogenetic tree of many different plant taxa by comparing their morphologies. We first decided to sort the various types of plants into groups based on morphological features. After sorting these plants into five different groups we began to determine how the plants differed from eachother in the group and what features set them apart. From this we started to create

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

living tissue‚ observe the effects of changes in temperature and pH on the activity of an enzyme‚ perform analyses for the presence of an enzyme in tissues‚ and analyzing relationships between environmental conditions and enzyme activity. Background: Cells produce proteins which are called enzymes and their job is to help reduce the amount of energy needed to start a reaction. Enzymes are catalysts which are chemical substances that reduce the amount of activation energy needed for the reaction to begin

Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Abstract: In this Lab we used the chemical DPIP to detect the rate of succinate broken down by the mitochondrial solution. We detected the amount of DPIP in the solution with a spectrophotometer and measuring the absorbance of light at the 600nm range. DPIP is a useful chemical to use in this experiment because it goes from a blue color when oxidized to a colorless liquid (Ogura‚ 281)‚ this is due to the hydrogen ions and electrons released during the transitional step between succinate and fumarate

Adol Condensation Introduction: This reaction is carried out by adding benzaldehyde and acetone into a flask. The product created is a 1‚5-diphenyl-1‚4-pentdiene-3-one‚ which includes two double bonds‚ and two benzyl ring functional groups. This is a dehydration reaction that occurs twice in order to form the diene. After obtaining the product‚ via vacuum filtration‚ it will be recrystallized and then analyzed for purity by determining both products’ melting point. The two products will be
