Laboratory Report 4: Invertebrate Animals Section: I Table: 6 Date: September 26th‚ 2013 Introduction: In our group‚ our task was to observe the selected four invertebrates and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a

______________________ LAB ____. ANATOMICAL EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION In our studies of the anatomy and development of animals we have discovered that many living creatures that look quite different on the surface have similarities underneath their skin that suggest that they are related to each other. This is evidence that living creatures have evolved‚ or gradually changed over time. In this lab‚ you will learn about homologous‚ analogous‚ and vestigial structures and their value as evidence for evolution. INSTRUCTIONS

Elkins University of Phoenix Self-Reflection After reviewing the information on the QRB and trying to understand how is one to reflect his or her use of this course in the future to prepare for future courses in economics‚ finance‚ accounting‚ operations‚ and research‚ at this point is really going to be hard at first until it is realized what the entire course consist of is for one going to be complicated for starters

that’s changed; It’s all living things. This change over time or ‘development’ is called evolution. Evolution is the change of (heritable) traits in different organisms over time. If you’re thinking apes becoming humans you’re already wrong. There’s even evidence of evolution like fossils‚ DNA samples‚ similarities in bone structure‚ and even vestigial organs. The purpose of this lab is to see how evolution works and whether it is a reliable theory. Hypothesis: If there are 11 skulls that all have

Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚ pectase and cellulase will

Evolution Lab The finches on Darwin and Wallace Islands feed on seeds produced by plants growing on these islands. There are three categories of seeds: soft seeds‚ produced by plants that do well under wet conditions; seeds that are intermediate in hardness‚ produced by plants that do best under moderate precipitation; and hard seeds‚ produced by plants that dominate in drought conditions. The lab is based on a model for the evolution of quantitative traits-characteristics of an individual that

Lab Report: Animal Behavioral Diversity Biology 112 Lucas LLona 5-7-13 1) a. Based on background knowledge regarding beta fish‚ I believe that the male beta fish will be the first out of the two specimens to display any aggressive behavior. b. - Pectorals flap at rapid speeds when the beta fish is uncomfortable and appears agitated. - The gill cover expands in size when the beta fish is uncomfortable. - Caudal fin moves quickly when agitated and also determines how quickly the specimen

Experiment on Cellular respiration of Mung Beans Seeds with the Effects of Temperature Introduction: ATP is generated from aerobic respiration from the use of biosynthetic pathways. Glycolysis is where respiration starts in the cells and produces ATP‚ NADH‚ and 2 pyruvate molecules from the oxidation of six carbon carbohydrate and glucose. Even if oxygen is there or not‚ enzymes are mediated in the cytoplasm. The electron transport chain‚ chemiosmosis‚ and aerobic respiration use NADH molecule
