micro-organisms that are in the human digestive system. Article of choice‚ (Adnan‚ 2010) Benefits of Microorganisms to Humans‚ Retrieved February 8‚ 2013. This article was of interest because there are many bacteria that we encounter in our daily lives and it was informative to know that all bacteria is not bad. In fact‚ there needs to be a balance between the two and by educating yourself with the smallest amount of new information is very helpful. Humans rely on micro-organisms for a variety

were measured and recorded. A hypothesis that was formulated before experimenting was‚ “If the type of disinfectant is Mouthwash‚ then it will allow for the least amount of bacteria growth because the chemicals present in Mouthwash combined with the acidic environment it bring will make it very hard to allow for any bacteria growth”. The independent variable in this experiment was undeniably

Viruses can infect all types of cells including plant‚ animal‚ protozoa‚ fungi‚ and bacteria. Virus composition is unique and does not resemble a living cell because they only contain the necessary parts to enter and leave an infected cell. A virus is a minute parasite (10 to 100 times smaller than bacteria) that is unable to reproduce by itself; however‚ once it infects a vulnerable cell a virus can make the cell’s inner workings produce viruses on its behalf. Viruses typically have either RNA

Modern Day Example of Natural Selection – Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria Read pg 112 -113 & 275 – 277 of you text book. Use this information plus information from secondary sources to answer the following questions so you will have a case study on antibiotic resistant bacteria. In this case study you will need to show how an environmental change can lead to a change in a species. Note: this will also cover content in the Search for Better Health topic. 1. Outline the purpose of anti-biotics

Bacteria Morphology April 2‚ 2015 Abstract – The Purpose of this exercise is to gain experience in bacterial morphologies in prepared wet-mounted slides and interpreting the findings of bacteria through direct and indirect staining technique. Hypothesis – The experiment will allow for further insight into stained organisms‚ allowing extended contrast‚ differentiating shape and structure through utilization of microscope. Procedure – Instructions followed as per procedure‚ specimens

A Report of Experiment 1 Purification and Identification of An Unknown Mixture Aim To separate a mixture of a neutral (ester‚ alcohol‚ ketone‚ aldehyde or ether) and an acidic compound (phenol or carboxylic acid) or a neutral and a basic compound (amine)‚ and to identify the unknown mixture by physical (M.P. or B.P.) and spectroscopic methods (NMR‚ IR and MS). Method The mixture (sample number: 27) was dissolved in 200 mL of CH2Cl2 and then extracted with 10% NaOH. The acid was removed

I. Title Identification of an Unknown Plasmid In this experiment‚ we determined the phenotypic capability of an unknown plasmid along with its size. With the use of gel electrophoresis‚ we analyzed the gel photograph by using a standard DNA marker‚ Lambda HindIII‚ and came to a conclusion based on our results. II. Abstract Two experiments were done to identify an unknown plasmid. The success of these experiments came from the use of modern day technology involving gel electrophoresis
