primary focus of this lab was on microscopy and simple stains. Crystal violet and Carbol fuchsine‚ simple staining components‚ were used to stain the slide in order to see the different microbes in order to determine their cellular shape and identify unknown ones by comparing. Introduction Bacterial cells are usually colorless because cytoplasm‚ for the most part‚ is transparent. Since the bacteria are colorless‚ it is almost essential to add a stain to make the bacteria more visible. Once stained

The Growth of Bacteria Influenced by Different Antibiotics Introduction: Plants are made up of three basic kinds of tissue that help it carry out basic functions that are necessary to maintain life and proper photosynthesis. The first and outermost layer of tissue is called the dermal layer. This is the plant’s ‘skin’ and serves the plant mainly as a source of protection. Also present in the dermal layer of the leaves are stomata‚ which are tiny openings that allow carbon dioxide to enter

My first source for evaluation is a secondary source that is an online article‚ “The Unknown Clara Bow”. This article was written by William Cramer on February 24‚ 1998. Cramer’s purpose of this article was to educate and inform those who are interested in learning about flapper culture and‚ more specifically‚ Clara Bow. Cramer contains detailed knowledge of Bow through many sources‚ which he has cited on his website‚ from authors and historians who have focused on the 1920s with credible references

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

Chemical T ests for Unknowns Chemical tests have been developed as a means of identifying what functional groups are present in an unknown compound. Since IR and NMR spectroscopy has been developed‚ they are no longer critical to unknown analysis‚ but they can still be useful for confirming what you have determined by spectroscopy. Some of them look cool too! In order for a chemical reaction to work as a chemical test‚ it must 1) create a visible result (a color change‚ a precipitate‚ etc)

Case Study Report for Unknown #49 A new school for girls was opened in a larger village in Northern Pakistan‚ and the teachers were proud to have convinced many families in the surrounding villages to allow their daughters a basic education. The school was a success‚ and the 6-10 year olds girls quickly learned how to read and write and were even instructed in the sciences. However‚ 2 weeks before summer break‚ many of the girls and the teacher developed breathing problems that included severe coughing

using green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a molecular tag for studying gene expression in bacteria and other organisms. c. To understand some of the mechanisms by which bacteria regulate gene expression. Introduction Genetic transformation is a process by which competent bacterial cells absorb DNA through their cell envelopes causing a change (i.e. a transformation) of their phenotypes. Some bacteria are naturally competent (able to take up external sources of DNA) and readily take up

Dockendorff Bacteria: Communication Equals Modification Bacteria are organisms that are extremely copious upon this planet. They are tiny and most are single celled organisms that can survive in just about any environment. Anywhere from plants to the human body is where these organisms can be discovered. Some of the strangest places that support bacterial life include places that have extremes of temperature. These bacteria are also very strange‚ much different from bacteria found living in

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that
