Background Information Muscles in the human body can be classified into three different types- cardiac‚ smooth and skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily‚ in things such walking and picking things up. The skeletal muscles are made up of bundles of muscle fibres (which are also known as myofibrils‚ as can be seen below). Each of the muscle fibres contain many sarcomeres‚ which is the most basic form of striated muscle tissue- they consist of two

In Figure 1a‚ the sharp band at about 585 cm-1 corresponds to the characteristic Fe–O vibration peak and the bands at around 3420 cm-1 are due to the stretching vibrations of the hydroxyls (–OH) on the surface of the Fe3O4. In Figure 1c‚ the S-H stretching vibrations of mercaptosuccinic acid appears in 2800 cm−1، C-H stretching vibrations appears in

franciscana are known to live in high salinity lakes that are often basic (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Furthermore‚ A. franciscana feed on photosynthetic phytoplankton which inhabit areas of light availability but are also more susceptible to predation in highly-lit areas (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Also‚ A. franciscana can withstand a broad range of temperature except extreme values may affect survival (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). In this experiment‚ the habitat

Organismic Lab Lab1- Dichotomous Key Introduction A dichotomous key is a series of paired statements or questions that are used to categorize organisms with their similarities in characteristics and or structure. The word dichotomous comes from two Greek words that translate to “divided in two parts.” In a Dichotomous key each step has two choices: whether a particular characteristic is present or absent. The questions

et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away from the light source. In this lab the independent variable is the light

Problem What do additives – like citric acid‚ sugar‚ salt‚ baking soda‚ cornstarch‚ and powdered milk – do to the strength ̸̸̸density of gelatin? Hypothesis I hypothesize that the higher the density of the additive is‚ the higher strength/density the gelatin will have. The materials you will need for this experiment are; • 2 packs of unflavoured Knox gelatin (1 box) • A pencil/pen and paper to record data • 3 tablespoons of citric acid • 3 tablespoons of sugar • 3 tablespoons of salt • 3 tablespoons

Carbohydrate Lab Report Introduction Qualitative identification of a substance is of significant importance in chemistry. Physical constants such as melting points have traditionally been used by organic chemistry for identification of unknown compounds. As for inorganic substances‚ the precipitation of a solid‚ results of a flame test‚ or the formation of a colored substance could all be keys to identifying a sample. Chromatography and spectra are amongst the newer techniques

Being able to identify unknowns is important in chemistry because it allows chemists to identify what chemicals they are working with if they have been improperly labeled or if they are trying to determine substances in a compound. Molecular weight and pKa are two properties that help to identify unknown compounds. To find the pKa of an unknown‚ pH meters are used during titrations to measure the potential difference in a solution by measure the difference of hydrogen-ion activity in a solution and

that cigarettes release more then 20 carcinogens know to promote lung cancer into your body. (Hecht‚ 2010). When looking at the cilia exposed to cigarette smoke in this lab it is seen that they have been greatly slowed down when compared to the uncontaminated cilia‚ and parts of the cells are covered in tar from the tobacco. For this lab it was hypothesized that smoking will inhibit the ciliary action and lower the quality filter the greater affect will be exhibited by the effected cilia. The prediction
