Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

Lab 1 : Scientific Method 20 Table 2: Water quality vs. fish population 1. Based on the information in Table 2‚ (in the lab manual) what patterns do you observe? 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control? 6. What type of graph would

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

or replaced if necessary. 2. Why is science considered a unified endeavor? A. Science is considered a unified endeavor because of the methods‚ reasoning‚ and zest for science is universal. There is physical science‚ earth science‚ and life science. 3. Compare and contrast science and technology. A. Science is a tool that allows us to comprehend phenomena. Technology is the application of science. Science feeds technology‚ as evidenced by the growth of genetic engineering after understanding the

Ksenia Semina Evolution Lab ARR 3 Blast Lab Analysis: Gene 1: The 4 organisms that were looked at in the Gene 1 are bird‚ vertebrate‚ rodent and bony fish. From the Blast result the most similar gene sequence to the gene of the gene of interest is Gallus gallus collaged which is also a bird. They are the most similar because the Gallus has the highest max score out of all other genes and 100% for the ident and there is no difference in the e-value. The species is located at the bird’s branch

Lab 10: Cell Structure & Function Questions 1. For each structure identified‚ do you think its location affects its ability to function? Why or why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane) Structure does not affect function of the cells‚ cells have a particular structure that enables them to carry out their function in the best way. Everything in a cell is there to enable it to perform in the most efficient manner possible

The Variation of Yeast Cells When Adding an Antibiotic Biology 1401- A October 21‚ 2013 Abstract. -- The main focus in this experiment was to find out if antibiotics affect yeast cells culture when added. The observation of the two cultures along with the yield of yeast cell reproduction between the two cultures was the sole purpose of the experiment; culture-A (- antibiotic) and culture-B (+ antibiotic). Our hypothesis stated whether antibiotic effects yeast cells cultures. This theory was
