tubes 1-5 for identification purposes. Using a pipet I added 1 milliliter of each solution to it’s designated test tube. Next‚ I added 5 drops of the Biuret reagent to each test tube and agitated the mixture by shaking the tubes from side to side. After waiting 2 minutes I recorded the color of each mixture. I used the color reaction after adding the reagent to determine the presence of proteins in each substance (Mbuthia‚ 2012). Results Test solutions that contained proteins reacted to the Biuret

couple of key things about lab safety and procedure during this experiment. While working with the hot plates‚ I learned to pay a lot of attention to whether or not the hot plate was plugged in or turned on‚ as well as whether or not the wax was getting too hot. Measuring each substance into the cup was an important experience because it taught me to be deliberate and careful when measuring so as to not waste materials‚ making sure we did not have to start over. While this lab is a good starting point

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Science Lab- Determining the Most Effective Antacid Robby Grewal SNC2D0 Introduction: Heartburn is a form of indigestion by acid digestion it affects many people worldwide. A solution to defeat heartburn is to take an antacid. An antacid is medicine which neutralizes your stomach acidity. In this experiment‚ we will be using three liquid antacids which are Phillips Milk of Magnesia‚ Life Brand Milk of Magnesia and Diovol plus AF and determine which one is the most effective at neutralizing

Stoichiometry lab 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the limiting reactant‚ also to find the percentage yield and percentage purity of the reaction that happens between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. The other purpose was to know how the reaction can be balanced and created. Hypothesis: In this lab we are going to see a precipitation reaction. This is a reaction where two soluble salts Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride are added together and the result is the precipitation

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus

The objective of the lab is to separate the caffeine samples we are using‚ using thin layer chromatography. The solvent we are using for the separation is 3:1 mixture of Chloroform and Acetone. Principle: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an important technique that is useful for separating organic compounds. TLC is often used to monitor the progress of organic reactions and to check the purity of products. Separations in Thin layer chromatography involve distributing a mixture of two or more substances

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

cheese. Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food. Daphnia‚ or Daphnia magna‚ are microscopic organisms in which the students created an original lab to test
