Title: studying organisms in an ecological habitat Aim: to determine the feeding relationships in an ecological habitat Method: * Explore ecological habitat * Make notes of features of selected habitat * Measure the seize of the area to be explored * Record the name of all organisms found in the habitat * Make note of any special features of the organisms * Note the presence of any symbiotic relations Observations and results: Tabulation of the organisms in habitat

Observance of Artificial Selection: Technical Study of Wisconsin Fast Plants 5th and 6th period AP Biology Due: 12/16/13 Abstract This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism ’s traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in

Exercise 1: Correct Use of the Scientific Method and an Experiment with Macromolecules I. Objectives In this lab‚ students will: a.) Learn how to utilize the Scientific Method to develop a testable hypothesis b.) Generate an effective experimental design from a hypothesis c.) Understand the chemical differences between different macromolecules and how these differences can be used to design tests for each molecule. d.) Identify macromolecules in solutions using chemical analyses. e.) Practice

practical photometer will be used as device to measure the rate at which water enters a leaf shoot. The rate at which water enters a plant depends on the rate at which it evaporates from the leaves‚ for instance transpired into surrounding atmosphere. Also‚ in the shoot‚ the water could stay in the cells‚ or be used in photosynthesis and assimilated into carbohydrate‚ or it could be passed on up the xylem to the leaf tissue. Any external conditions which affect the rate of transportation will be expected

Bio Lab Report Erica Patterson September 10‚2013 Intro to cellular and molecular Biology Lab Abstract: In the Biology Laboratory Manual by Darrell S. Vodopich and Randy Moore are results to a similar experiment. The studied the hypothesis of carbon dioxide production by yeast fed sugar is not significantly different than the carbon dioxide production by the yeast fed in protein. Their hypothesis is the one that has helped formulate ours. We also will be answering the same to questions “What

EVOLUTION and NATURAL SELECTION (30 pts) a. What is a mutation? Provide 3 examples of different mutations causing specific diseases in human population. For each example explain what kind of mutation that is (ie. A point substitution‚ a chromosomal duplication etc). Mutation is a genetic mistake(s) that occur during DNA replication. 1. Progeria accelerated aging; mutation in the LMNA gene 2. Hypertrichosis excessive hair on the shoulders‚ face and ears; implicate it to a rearrangement

Biology – living organisms Scientific Method – making observations‚ proposing ideas about how something works‚ testing ideas‚ discarding or modifying -allows us to solve problems and answer questions efficiently and effectively. -Ideas about “how things work” = hypothesis. -proposed explanation for one or more observations -scientific hypothesis MUST be testable -must be falsifiable (observations could prove false) Observations Question Hypothesis = imagination‚ intuition‚ chance
