Kathleen Kramas Cells and Heredity Lab Tuesday 2:00-4:50 22 OCTOBER 2012 Membrane Permeability Decreases as Molecular Size Increases Introduction: Red blood cells are vital to organisms functioning properly. They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a

Introduction The aims of the lab session was to familiarize with the principles‚ operation and application of a light spectrophotometer. This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of absorbance and concentration‚ the interaction of electromagnetic radiant energy(ERE) and matter which is an important aspect of the Beer-Lambert ’s Law. This law states that the absorption of a compound is directly proportional to the concentration of that particular compound. This is because (a &

during the lab session Procedure Part A This lab was performed by the group members as they closed both low and high flow rotameters (Fig-2) and filled the tank with water. Then‚ the large rotameter was opened when the water in the tank had reached the internal baffle‚ so the flow from the tank was reduced by doing so. One member was in charge of adjusting the level of the water so it was always maintained over the baffle’s level during the lab (Fig-1). The first part of the lab was done

Lab Report Marisa McKinney P. 2 Purpose: To investigate the periodic variation of density in Group 4A elements. Background: When the elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number‚ they exhibit periodic recurrence of properties. Elements in the same group in the periodic table tend to have similar physical and chemical properties. These similarities are due‚ in large part‚ to similarities among the electron configurations of the elements in a group. You can find periodic

Photosynthesis and the Amount of Light _______________________________________________________________________ I. Introduction Photosynthesis the process where plants use sunlight (energy) to synthesize foods forming the products carbohydrates and water (H20 + CO2 + Light CH2O + O2). For photosynthesis to take place they need water‚ carbon dioxide and light and chloroplasts. Light is absorbed inside he thylakoid

Crystallization: Lab Report Theory/Introduction The purpose of this lab is to understand the concept of purification through crystallization. Crystallization is the process of purifying a substance‚ with the most adequate solvent. The process of crystallization came to be based on the principle of solubility. First‚ we must choose a solvent. The solvent is crucial to crystallization because it’s what will allow impurities to dissolve. Therefore‚ when selecting a solvent it is important that it

CO2 Lab Report Intro Alka-Seltzer tablets are used to treat cold/flu symptoms as it produces CO2 when dissolved in water. The goal of this lab is to calculate the amount of NaHCO3 is needed to produce enough CO2 gas to fill the room. Experimental One Alka-Seltzer tablet was weighed on the analytical balance. Then a piece was measured out to be between 0.21 and 0.28 grams. 500mL of distilled water was added to a 600mL beaker. 80mL of water was mixed with 20mL of 6M HCl in a 150mL beaker. A

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site
