Laboratory Report The Plasma Membrane I. Introduction The Plasma membrane is the edge of life‚ the boundary that separates the cell from its surroundings. It controls the traffic of materials in and out of the cell. (Reece‚ 2011). It is incredibly thin that is very vital in maintaining the integrity of the cell. Not only does the plasma membrane bind the other organelles‚ it also forms a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion

observations on the physical and chemical changes in matter: The Iced Tea Debate‚ Salty Soup‚ and Fire Bug. Objective : To demonstrate the differences between physical and chemical changes while observing the laws of conservation of matter and energy. Procedure : Watch each part of the experimental demonstration and make predictions about what will happen in each scenario. 1. View the three scenarios listed below. You must observe and analyze these as part of the lab. The Iced Tea Debate

Chemistry Lab Report Jeffrey Kenneth Bangero Introduction Firstly we calculated the mass of the beaker and then we put the assigned grams of sodium carbonate and calcium chloride. Then we add 50 ml of distilled water to each substance‚ sodium carbonate dissolved faster than calcium carbonate. After we mixed both sodium carbonate and calcium chloride and they form a solid precipitate. Then we poured it a funnel with a filter paper to get the solid precipitate. Purpose ● The purposed

Conditions Testing Reactions to Gravity‚ Light and Food Jacob Kluth and Kelsey Jankowski Introduction 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

Microbiology-2460 Lab-003 March 31‚2008 Lab Report-Escherichia coli Abstract The purpose for this lab report was to identify and inform of an unknown bacteria that has been causing a patient to have lower abdominal and pelvic pain. To obtain the identification of this unknown bacterium‚ several biochemical tests needed to be performed in order to prescribe the correct medication to treat and cure the symptoms. Introduction In a lab today‚ I am to identify an unknown bacterium that is

Chemical reactions are the basis of life on earth. As human beings‚ we are little more than the naturally abundant elements of which we are composed and the reactions between the compounds that they form. After all‚ how could life exist without water? Oxygen transport in a body the size of the human body would be impossible without the aid of a complex like hemoglobin. Besides being the basis of many of life’s intangibles‚ chemistry also plays an active role in our daily lives. Take for instance

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

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
