Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria For about 50 years‚ antibiotics have been the answer to many bacterial infections. Antibiotics are chemical substances that are secreted by living things. Doctors prescribed these medicines to cure many diseases. During World War II‚ it treated one of the biggest killers during wartime - infected wounds. It was the beginning of the antibiotic era. But just when antibiotics were being mass produced‚ bacteria started to evolve and became resistant to these medicines

A Comparative Essay between “Disabled” and “An Unknown Girl” Moniza Alvi reflects on India as her hand is hennaed by “an unknown girl” “in the evening bazaar”. The predominantly upbeat mood of this poem contrasts with the pessimistic mood in “Disabled” written by Wilfred Owen‚ a soldier in the First World War‚ stating his anti-war view through a poem on the life of a young soldier “sewn short at elbow”‚ crippled by war. In his poem‚ the difference between past and present allows Owen to reveal

Purpose: Unknown mixtures will be separated by means of chromatography in which the mixture will be passed in a solution through a medium leaving behind components of the mixture at different rates‚ therefore‚ different spots on the absorbing substance. This will help determine the identity of unknown mixtures. The spot colors on the strip of filter paper and the Rf values of the unknown samples will be compared to those of known samples. To find the position of the spots on the strip of paper‚ we

This number alludes to the twenty-one gun salute‚ the highest honor given any military of foreign dignitary. The guards hold their task in their highest regards. They look their ability to guard the Tomb of the Unknown in highest regards. Similarly‚ it would be an indescribable honor for me to be able to lay the wreath upon the Tomb. Three reasons why it would be such an honor to be able to

Identification of Unknown Organic Compound by Melting Point (M.P)‚ Boiling Point (B.P) and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The main objective of this lab is to identify the given unknown organic compounds with various methods. Identification of an unknown compound is important to perform through the process of melting point (M.P)‚ boiling point (B.P) and Infrared spectroscopy (I.R). Index of Hydrogen deficiency (IHD) and elemental analysis makes an experiment more efficient in

Aims The purpose of the two experiments was to determine the fundamental effects that temperature has on the growth and survival of bacteria. During the first experiment five different bacterial broth cultures of Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ Enterococcus faecalis‚ Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus were individually incubated at temperatures of 5‚ 25‚ 37‚ 45 and 55°C for one week in an aim to distinguish the effect temperature has on growth and survival of the five different

Bacterial Unknown March 25‚ 2013 Bacterial Unknown Report Each student was given an unknown bacteria to figure out. I was given the unknown bacteria S38. Everybody is supposed to do all sorts of test to identify the bacteria. The first thing I did was smear my bacteria on a liquid medium. I then proceeded to incubate the medium for 24-48 hours. 1. GRAM STAIN The next step I took in finding my unknown bacteria was to gram stain it. This is used to differentiate the bacteria. The different

1. Create and complete a data table for Part One of the lab. It should include the name of the element (or unknown) examined and the color of the observed flame 2. Identify each unknown from Part One of the lab and briefly explain why you identified each unknown as you did. Part Two (Spectroscopy): 1. Create and complete a data table for Part Two of the lab. It should include the name of the element‚ the colors‚ and the wavelength values of the observed lines. 2. Describe the line spectrum
