Introduction Transpiration is a process which is similar to the evaporation. Water is lost at the surface of the plant such as leaves‚ stems‚ roots and flowers in the form of water vapor. It creates a pulling. Force which causes continuous upward movement of water and mineral salts and this force is called transpiration pull. Apart from to water‚ gas like carbon dioxides from the air can also pass through by the pore of the surface of the plants for photosynthesis. But in this experiment‚ we

Lab Report 1: Subculturing Adherent Cells Fibronectin‚ integrin alpha 3‚ and actin are all involved in cellular adhesion at both the cellular and molecular levels. Integrins are the primary trans-membrane receptors that mediate dynamic interactions between the extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton whenever a cell is motile. Integrins bind to the extracellular matrix and link to the actin cytoskeleton via a shirt cytoplasmic tail; they also help determine cellular binding specificity because

An Investigation To See The Effect That Alcohol Has Upon The Heart Rate Of Daphnia. Aim: In this investigation I am going to see how alcohol affects the heart. Due to the ethical and safety issues involved in using in an investigation such as this I am going to use Daphnia (water flea) to conduct this experiment. Although humans and Daphnia are very different organisms‚ the affect that alcohol has upon the heart should be similar. Hypothesis: The hypothesis I am going to test during the

Juanita Sarmiento Daphnia Ecotoxicology Lab Report Introduction Ecosystems have a way of maintaining themselves under ordinary conditions but when a new factor is added that will most likely threaten the environment action needs to be put forth. Our environment is affected by many pollutants on a daily bases forming a threat to natural stability. For example some of the most polluted parts of the environment are bodies of water like that explained in our lab. Once pollution occurs

Effect of Enzyme and Substrate Concentration on Reaction Rate by Zachary A. Poché Biology 155 Laboratory October 15‚ 2014 Lab Partners: Cade White‚ Hannah Ragas‚ Russheka Aremillion ABSTRACT In order to increase the reaction rate‚ substrates attach to the active site of enzymes which decrease the activation energy required to convert substrates to products. We examined the effect of enzyme concentration and substrate concentration on the overall rate of the reaction. To determine

Objectives 1 1. To prepare a standard curve of absorbance versus protein concentration by using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). 2. To determine BSA concentration in two sample solutions. 3. To determine protein concentration in apple juice. Introduction What is Bradford protein assay? The Bradford protein assay is a spectroscopic analytical procedure used to measure the concentration of protein in a solution [1]. There are several reagents that can be used to determine the concentration

The Effect of Different Types of Insulation on Heat Retention Aim I am going to investigate the effect of different types of material on heat retention. "Which of the four materials‚ cotton‚ foam‚ aluminium foil and bubble wrap‚ is the best insulator?" Hypothesis The four materials tested in this experiment are cotton‚ foam‚ aluminium foil‚ and bubble wrap. Materials that are good insulators will absorb heat slowly and therefore the water inside the cup will stay warm for

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions

1. The woman in the photograph is Henrietta Lacks. She had seen the picture many times in magazines and science textbooks‚ on blogs and laboratory walls. Rebecca Skloot may start to write this book to know about Henrietta Lacks. She was staring at the photo for a long time and she always had wondered about Henrietta Lacks’ life story. Rebecca Skloot went to an alternative school after she had failed her freshman year at a regular public high school. She took a biology class at a community college

Evolution Lab “Evolution by Natural Selection” The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population‚ and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining
