The effect of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) on bioluminescence in fireflies. Introduction Adenosine triphosphate‚ also known as ATP‚ is the supply of energy found in every cell that we need in order to do essentially everything (Anonymous‚ 2008). It is an energy source for biochemical reactions such as muscle contraction‚ active transport‚ molecular synthesis‚ and in fireflies‚ also known as lightening bugs‚ bioluminescence (Biology Book). Bioluminescence is the process in which living organisms

Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the

recrystallization and how this process removes the impurities from a pure solid compound. The methods used to achieve this objective were also hot vacuum filtration in order to remove suspended solid impurities‚ and isolating the pure acetanilide. In the next lab‚ percent recovered was obtained through weighing the acetanilide sample as well as comparing its melting point range. In this experiment‚ the sample‚ acetanilide was weighted to be 1.523 grams. The sample appeared to be a pale mixture of brown flakes

William Piumbroeck Chem 214 Acid-Base Titration‚ Determination of Carbonate and Bicarbonate in a water sample Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of two bases‚ carbonate and bicarbonate‚ by using a potentiometric titration. We can determine the concentration of the bases in the reactions ( H+ +CO3- < ==> HCO3- and H+ + HCO3- < ==> H2CO3-) by the way the pH of the solution changes. The way the pH changes when a strong acid is added can

INTRODUCTION Biodiversity presents occurrence of variety of species and their natural community in which they live. By the definition it is “The degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of ecosystems and is in part a function of climate.” (Rutherford) Ecosystem is on the other hand‚ “ community and its abiotic environment”( Rutherford). Biodiversity exists in every ecosystem‚ weather it is big one‚ or just ecosystem

Results Experiment I: As a general trend O2 production and reaction velocity increased with increasing catalase concentration‚ however‚ the 33% percent catalase concentration showed a drop of 0.175 mL O2/s compared to the 25% catalase concentration (figure 1.2). The velocity of 25% catalase was 0.275 mL/s‚ 33% was 0.1 mL/s‚ 50% was 0.435 mL/s‚ and 75% catalase was 0.575 mL/s (figure 1.1). The 50% catalase concentration produced the most O2 overall however the 75% catalase concentration had the fastest
