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

It is generally followed immediately by cytokinesis‚ which divides the nuclei‚ cytoplasm‚ organelles and cell membrane into two daughter cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle‚ the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells‚ each with the genetic equivalent of the parent cell. In simple terms‚ mitosis is the process where non sex

Rachel Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 27 April 2015 GMOs Lab Report Introduction As the population of Earth increases exponentially‚ so does the demand for more food. One of the solutions to the question of how more food can be produced is Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs. There is an ongoing debate about whether or not GMOs are more beneficial or harmful to society. Some of the benefits to GMOs are: growing plants‚ such as corn‚ that are resistant to weeds and pests‚ larger

Osmosis Lab Report Hypothesis: Osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The higher the solute in solvent‚ then there will be a higher rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We

Corte Madera Scientific Report Abstract I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result‚ I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However‚ when tide changes its direction‚ the water level is likely to stay or little change. Introduction On June 19th‚ my

Synthesis of Tetraphenylcylopentadienone Post-Lab Report Purpose- This experiment illustrates the use of adol condensation for the synthesis of a five-membered carbocylic ring. It is also a good demonstration of the impact extended conjugation has on the absorption of visible light. The reactants are bright yellow in color while the products are a very deep purple color appearing almost black. Introduction- The synthesis of Tetraphanylcyclopentadienone was a further example of the adol

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

The appearance of the spectrum from the fluorescent light source was recorded. A discharge tube apparatus was retrieved from a lab cart for demonstration. A hydrogen discharge tube was inserted into the discharge tube apparatus with the spring loaded end first‚ followed by the non-spring loaded end. The discharge tube apparatus was plugged into the outlet. The hydrogen discharge

Unknown Lab Report Microbiology Unknown A Sonia Kabra November 26‚ 2014 Introduction There are numerous reasons for identifying unknown bacteria. Some of these organisms have distinct qualities that set them apart from one another‚ such as the exposure to certain environments. Through out the semester in the laboratory‚ we are able to encounter some of the few microorganisms that we as humans have come into contact with. With the knowledge gained from the sessions in the laboratory‚ we can now

Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation
