Melissa Morales Bios 101 Spring 2013 Demography- Human Life History Introduction Demography is the study of human populations. It studies the size‚ composition and distribution of a population‚ and the process through which a population changes. Demography allows us to track changes over time and to depict how different periods in history change population dynamics. Births‚ deaths‚ migration and emigration‚ jointly produced the change within a population (Biological Science). Demography

Experiment for the measurement of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and their functions during the act of breathing. Introduction: Humans‚ like all living organisms need‚ O2 in order to live‚ they take the necessary O2 from the atmospheric air. The O2 is transferred from the blood to all cells of the body and serves for oxidation of nutrients for example glucose. By oxidize the nutrients released energy‚ which is necessary for the functions of the human body. During oxidation produces

Aim: To investigate the effect of skin sensitivity in response to cold temperature in different parts of the body by timing the maximum amount of time in which ice-pack can be held to that area. Hypothesis: If the layer of skin is relatively thin‚ the nerve response to cold will be the fastest‚ increasing the skin’s sensitivity. This therefore means that the fastest responses to cold will be in the face‚ and specifically the nose. The skin consists of 3 main layers; the epidermis‚ dermis and

halogen atom. The purpose of this lab was to properly prepare t-butyl chloride from t-butyl-alcohol in a concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction occurs through a nucleophilic substitution‚ which is when a nucleophile replaces the leaving group in the substrate. In this lab‚ the hydroxyl group of t-butyl alcohol is replaced by a chlorine atom. The reaction proceeds through an SN1 mechanism (Weldegirma 38-41). “A nucleophile is any neutral or uncharged molecule with an unshared pair of electrons

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

IB SL Biology Lab Molecular Biology: Transformation and Electrophoresis Christina Qi 2/16/07 Aim: How can a plasmid be engineered to include a foreign piece of DNA and how does gel electrophoresis separate DNA molecules present in a mixture? Hypothesis: If the pGLO plasmid is inserted into competent Escherichia coli cells‚ then the transformed bacteria will be resistant to ampicillin and will glow green under UV light. If samples of DNA are cut using certain restriction

Alvaro Comino LAB REPORT 4 CONNECTIVE TISSUE (SPECIALIZED) I. Abstract In this experiment‚ identification and classification of different types of connective tissue was performed. Also‚ cells and extracellular matrix was to be identified in them. For this‚ different already prepared slides were chosen and observed under the microscope to then identify the different parts. II. Introduction Apart from the bone and cartilage‚ the rest of the specialized connective tissues are divided
