Having the ability to collect and identify unknown microorganisms is vital in health and medicine. This capability is important for a variety of reasons‚ such as knowing the causative agent of disease‚ knowing if the microorganism obtains any beneficial properties and knowing the correct microorganism to use to create a successful antibiotic. Implementing the experimental methods learned thus far in the microbiology laboratory allowed an unknown bacterium to be identified as a result of this study

Mixtures and Solutions can often become confusing because solutions are mixtures‚ but not all mixtures are solutions. A mixture can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is where the mixture’s components are distributed uniformly within the mixture. A heterogeneous mixture is where the components are not uniform. Mixtures can either be miscible or immiscible‚ the difference being whether or not the mixture forms a homogeneous mixture or not. In a solution a solute is soluble

Tetrapyrrole compounds: chlorophyll and heme groups By Erwin Lim 1. Tetrapyrrole compounds A tetrapyrrole compound is a chemical group that consists of four pyrroles that are joined together by covalent bonds‚ forming a porphyrin ring. They are naturally occurring pigments‚ which are used in many biological processes (Berg‚ 2009). The basic structure of a tetrapyrrole is as seen in Figure 1‚ while the basic structure of a pyrrole is as seen in Figure 2. Figure 1.Tetrapyrrole Compound (Berg‚ 2009)

by everyday pollution from houses‚ factories‚ cars‚ and etc. This is the concept of acid rain‚ which according to EPA.gov is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Acid rain isn’t just rain‚ its forms like hail or snow‚ which is wet deposition‚ and smoke or dust‚ which is dry deposition. The effects of acid rain are quite terrifying bringing all types of problems to the Earth‚ for example

Ions in Solutions Using Acid/Base Chemistry: A Quality Control Test Objective: This lab focuses on the detection of ions using titration as an analysis tool. You will standardize NaOH and HCl solutions so that you know the exact concentration and then prepare samples of common household items in order to determine the amount of calcium in Tang®‚ Mg(OH)2 in Milk of Magnesia‚ etc. You will learn to prepare samples of a specified concentration‚ learn about acids and bases through the use of titrations

DETERMINING THE EQUIVALENT MASS AND DISSOCIATION CONSTANT OF AN UNKNOWN WEAK ACID BY TITRIMETRY INTRODUCTION Acids are substances that donate hydrogen ions and bases are substances that accept hydrogen ions. Acids and bases react with each other by transferring hydrogen ions. One way to distinguish an acid is by its equivalent mass‚ which is the number of grams of the acid needed to transfer one mole of hydrogen ion to a base. For a monoprotic acid‚ which only transfers one hydrogen ion‚ its equivalent

Book Discussion Questions for Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman 1. Do you think the title fits the book? Why or why not? I do think the title fits the book as the whole narration is about the character not being able to express loud and clear what he really felt due to a medical condition. He expresses how this feeling of impotency make him feel like he was “stuck in neutral”- not advancing or progressing‚ just “being”. 2. Why do you think the book was written in the first person? I personally
