Aim: 1) To determine the effects of different salt concentration on the percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through

that live in the water‚ their oxygen has to be obtained from the water. The amount of oxygen that these organisms can take from the water is hugely dependent on the dissolved oxygen content in the water. The purpose of the two experiments done in this lab was to see the ideal condition to produce the most dissolved oxygen concentration. We approached the challenge of finding the ideal condition by testing two different variables in two different experiments. In the first experiment‚ we tested the different

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

Introduction: This lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are

II. Genetic variation is accounted for in Meiosis I due to crossing over. No formal hypothesis was made due to the fact that this lab was a simulation and observation of prior knowledge. The lab did not go as expected for prophase was supposed to be the second longest phase in exercise 3A but Metaphase ended up with the higher percentage (Table 3.1). Because this lab was solely based on observation‚ there was little space for error‚ but as mentioned above‚ metaphase ended up with the higher percentage

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

Middle Childhood Development and Personality Jessica Saar PSY/103 September 10. 2012 Donna Litteral Developmentally‚ middle childhood is a big time in a child’s life. During this time‚ they begin their academic journey. They are growing and changing in so many ways. Children begin learning how to relate to others outside the home. They also learn to respect others and how to treat others properly. A child’s physical and cognitive development can be affected by many things. Genetics‚ nutrition

The reactions and Results of Using Enzyme Turnip Root Peroxidase Lab results from: Andrew Compton‚ Mickey. Results published 9/29/2012. TA: In this series of laboratory experiments‚ my lab partner and I were to conduct an experiment about the oxidation rate of the enzyme peroxidase in the presence of its substrate guiacol. Also we used other substrates‚ such as hydroxylamine an enzyme inhibitor‚ to observe the weather the reaction rate was slowed down‚ sped up‚ or stopped reactions all together
