Exocytosis Lab Report Rough Draft Abstract: In Paramecium caudatum‚ trichocysts are 10^3 secretory vesicles that are released from the cytoplasm. We first observed how the presence of Alcian blue dye triggers normal secretion of trichocysts‚ and we then tested four different hypotheses in order to determine how the presence of Ca++ ions in the extracellular and intracellular environment affects the secretion of trichocysts. Our first our hypothesis tested whether extracellular calcium is

In this enzyme lab‚ (insert creative name)‚ the enzyme catalase was observed under varying conditions in order to interpret what prohibits and inhibits the functioning of certain enzymes in chemical reactions. Enzymes aid in chemical reactions by speeding up the time it takes for the reaction to occur‚ without getting “used up” throughout the process. Catalase‚ the specific enzyme used in this lab‚ is a protein abundant in the liver and red blood cells. It enhances the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide

with the lab equipment such as the microscope‚ square glass‚ cover slips‚ etc.; to facilitate students to observe the pond water; and enable them to discern and identify the microbes as bacteria‚ algae‚ fungi‚ or protozoa within the pond water. Additionally‚ this lab experiment will permit students to observe and distinguish the yeast suspension from the other microbes. Data/Results: (Attached) Conclusion: The student acquired the fundamental skills in which to properly handle lab equipment

The objective of this macromolecules lab was to identify the presence any of the major macromolecules in various every day food items. The three macromolecules that this lab was carried out for were carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins. There were five different experiments conducted and each of those experiments had one factor in common‚ they all had the same controls. The controls in this lab activity were already set for the lab activity. The controls were the distilled water and the baking soda

Unknown Lab Report Unknown Organism #6 Ann Le (Phuoc) May 6‚ 2010 Dr. Carrington Microbiology Lab- MW 12:50 Le 1 I. Introduction My unknown organism #6 is Morganella morganii‚ which is a gram-negative bacillus rods commonly found in the environment and also in the intestinal tracts of humans‚ mammals‚ and reptiles as a normal flora. (3‚ 5) This bacterium Morganella morganii‚ was first discovered in the 1906 by a British bacteriologist named H. de R. Morgan. (2) Despite its wide

Unit 6 Lab Report 1. Objective: To find the percent composition of water in an unknown hydrate. 2. Materials: Goggles‚ apron‚ evaporating dish‚ hot plate‚ and stirring rod 3. Procedure: get the mass of a evaporating dish‚ put a sample of the hydrate onto the evaporating dish and mass the dish with hydrate. Put the dish with hydrate on the hot plate on high heat. Break up any clumps that form during the heating process. Observe any color

Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

Erin Gaudet SCI-220-01 Title: Hair Lab Object: Analyze hair samples Procedure: Same as in lab handout Results: See attached data sheet Conclusion: This type of lab analysis is important to the field of forensic science because you could link a person to a crime. The removal of hair from the body often denotes physical contact between a victim and perpetrator and hence a crime of a serious or violent nature. Forensic scientists would find this lab useful because they would be able to determine

The objective of this lab was to recreate the color profile of a given solution. In this case‚ the solution was Powerade. The final solution should match the absorbance values at the peak wavelengths (420nm and 628nm) in Powerade. This lab was done using deionized water‚ FD&C Blue #1‚ FD&C Yellow #5‚ FD&C Red #40‚ and a spectrometer. To obtain the correct color profile‚ FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5 were utilized in the sample solutions. The experiment was conducted over two days; the first day

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were
