Effect of Sugar on Bean Plant Growth Abstract The objective: My project was to determine if bean plants grew stronger and healthier by the addition of the right amount of sugar to their watering. I believe that plants that receive 50 grams of sugar per liter of water would help bean plants grow to be stronger‚ healthier and larger because they would get energy from the sugar. Methods/Materials 36 bean plants were grown in potting soil. The same amount of soil was used in each pot and it had no added

lactose. This makes the area rich enough for the E.coli bacteria to find it easy to adapt to the environment. Some of the methods that were used in part A were streak plating‚ viable plate counting‚ spread plating and serial dilutions. Streak plating involves continuous dilution of the bacteria spread over the surface of the Agar plate using the loop. As the bacteria space out‚ some multiply and form individual colonies over a period of time. When pure coloured strain of colonies are seen‚ it means

Disease samples from two patients are collected and subjected to serial dilutions before running an ELISA. What does it mean if a disease can be detected in samples from one person at a dilution of 1/5 and in another patient at a dilution of 1/100? One patient has a higher concentration of antigens. 4. Describe a situation that illustrates why it is a good idea to complete the ELISA assay in triplicate

tested in a spectrometer‚ the highest absorption rates were found to be at 503.7 nm (A=0.281) and 630.7 nm (A=0.270). This lead to the conclusion that the beverage contained red 40 and blue 1. To determine the concentration of the dyes a series of dilutions was prepared for both dyes and tested with the spectrometer. This data was converted into point graphs and a trendline was established. The slope of the trendline (y=mx) was then multiplied by the Absorbance of the associated dye to find the concentration

Protein Concentration using BCA and Bradford Assays Introduction There are several ways to determine protein concentration for a sample such as The Lowry Method‚ Bradford assay‚ and Bicinchoninic Acid (BCA) just to name a few. Determining the protein concentration in your sample is an important step in any laboratory workflow that involves protein extraction and/or analysis (1). Based on the assay being used‚ different chemicals can alter the accuracy for the results. For example‚ in BCA‚ the reducing

would turn a detectable form. It catalyzes so the antibody will be easily detachable. 3. Disease samples from two patients are collected and subjected to serial dilutions before running an ELISA. What does it mean if a disease can be detected in samples from one person at a dilution of 1/5 and in another patient at a dilution of 1/100? The one with 1/5 has a more detectable solution and tells scientists that they were one of the first to get it. The one with 1/100 has probably gotten

mutations work and how they are created is an important step in controlling and isolating genes for experimentation. In this experiment we tested the effects of Ultra-Violet light on growing single-celled yeast. We did this by first creating serial dilutions and growing our yeast colonies with no UV exposure. These yeast cells we used are a Trip1-289 mutant yeast strain and were grown on SC plates with tryptophan present. Next‚ we then grew two more sets of colonies exposed to UV light for pre-determined

Other learning objectives are to create a Beer’s law plot for a series of samples with known concentrations‚ collect spectrophotomic data from unknown and known FDC blue dye samples‚ perform serial dilutions‚ calculate concentrations‚ perform linear regression and determine the equation of a best fit line.

1. EGG INOCULATION The fertile hen’s egg can be used to cultivate and propagate various types of viruses. Because of the ability to alter their tropism and to adapt to a new host species‚ many viruses become capable of growing in chick embryo tissues wherein they frequently attain a much higher concentration than in the tissues of the natural host. STRUCTURE OF AN EGG The extra-embryonic membranes of the chick embryo arise from three germinal layers: the endoderm‚ mesoderm and ectoderm
