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

Results: Somatic cells multiply through mitosis resulting in diploid‚ identical cells and meiosis provides for genetic variability along with haploid daughter cells‚ gametes‚ or sex cells. Most of the cells observed on the root tip were in interphase. Table 3.1 helped analyze the number of cells that are going through each phase of the cell cycle and helped estimate the amount of time it took for each cell to complete that phase. Table 3.2 compared and contrasted mitosis and meiosis. Conclusion: There

Investigating Effects of duration of heating on permeability of beetroot cell membrane Introduction: Cell membranes contain many different types of molecules which have different roles in the overall structure of the membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer‚ which is the basic structure of the membrane. Their non-polar tails form a barrier to most water soluble substances. Membrane proteins serves as channels for transport of metabolites‚ some act as enzymes or carriers‚ while some are receptors

Pouri‚ Nikole Period 1 1/14/12 Mitosis Lab Write-Up Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to understand the phases of mitosis through a hands on experience and not just textbook information. The objective is to visually determine each phase through a microscope with a clear understanding of what is happening. With this knowledge and this visual a picture is to be drawn as descriptive as possible for each phase. Materials: The materials needed are; 1) Microscope 2) A slide containing plant

BIO Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility Lab Discussion Questions In the Microscopy‚ Mitosis‚ and Motility lab‚ the class used the Compound Microscope. The Compound Microscope helped examine the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells‚ observe the different stages of mitosis‚ and compare modes of motility used by protists. The light compound microscope works with the aid of lenses such as the eyepiece. These lenses help keep the focus of the light on the eye. The fine and course adjustments also assist with

55. a) Cuticles on the outermost layer of angiosperms are clear‚ which allows for light to pass through. The leaf is shaped in a way that will allow it to absorb more sunlight and be more efficient. Photosynthesis takes place in the spongy parenchyma and the palisade parenchyma. In order to obtain food‚ it is controlled by the stoma which controls the passage of gas and water. b) Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the

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

Title: Homeostasis Date: 19th January 2010 Aim: To observe‚ draw and label the parts of a nephron. Apparatus: Slide of the transverse section of a kidney Pencil Paper Microscope Method: The slide of the transverse section of a kidney was mounted on the microscope and observed under high power. Drawings of the parts of the nephron were made. Calculations of Magnification: Loop of Henle One Ocular Division = 0.22 µm Size of Specimen = 2 ocular divisions Conversion of Ocular

Diffusion and Osmosis Through Dialysis tubing We did this experiment to test the diffusion of different substances through dialysis tubing. We used what we knew about diffusion to make predictions on what we thought the mass of the dialysis tubing to be after submerging them for 30 mins and we knew that diffuse occurs from highest concentration to lowest concentration. Since the dialysis tubings are filled with different substances than what they are being put into then they should all gain
