AP Physics Slinky Velocity Lab Group: Asaf Yankilevich‚ Lily Greenwald‚ Yaeli Eijkenaar‚ Michal Antonov 2/23/15 Materials ● Slinky ● Spring weight ● Force measurer ● Measuring Tape ● Timer Procedure 1. The first slinky’s mass was weighed‚ using a scale‚ and its tension was measured using a force measurer 2. The slinky was stretched to 4m. 3. The linear mass density was solved for‚ by dividing the mass by the length. 4. The theoretical velocity was solved for‚ using the equation

Introduction: Living‚ microscopic‚ unicellular organisms can be identified as microorganisms. Fungi‚ Protista‚ Bacteria‚ and Archaeans are four kingdoms in the phylogenetic tree of life that consist of microorganisms. Amongst these microorganisms the prokaryotes were the first ones to arrive through evolution. The rest of the life forms as we see them evolved from these simple creatures‚ prokaryotes. The smaller prokaryotes were swallowed by bigger prokaryotes setting the stage for the origin of

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

Biology Lab Scientific Paper Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms during pregnancy and how the baby’s body functions as it grows in the womb and after birth. Usually‚ a baby is born with 46 chromosomes but babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes‚ chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is trisomy. Down syndrome

The enzyme tyrosinase was successively extracted by combining a homogenate of a potato and sodium sulfate with ammonium sulfate. Tyrosinase was successfully extracted by taking advantage of solubility properties of certain proteins. A standard curve was generated indicating dopachrome absorbance values through the use of a spectrophotometer and a computer graphing program. A spectrophotometer was used to measure either the amount of light that passed through a solution (transmittance) of the amount
