category would be autonomic reflexes or somatic reflexes. Autonomic reflexes are those which are unaware to us and act on visceral organs of the body‚ whereas somatic reflexes involve skeletal muscle stimulation. Both types of reflexes are put into effect via the nervous system. (1) The Patellar reflex‚ or Knee-Jerk reflex‚ is used to test the nervous tissue in the spinal cord from L2-L4. The patellar reflex is known as a “reflex arc”. It is a negative feedback circuit that is made of three components

The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes. Aim – Milk powder contains a white protein called casein. A white suspension of

The pGLO lab is a lab where students attempt to put the genes that make a jelly fish glow into E. Coli. After a process called transformation‚ the process in which a cell takes up and expresses a new piece of genetic information‚ the E. Coli will be able to glow and will be antibiotic resistant. The students first need to learn a couple of techniques before they are able to begin this lab. The first technique they will need is how to keep their environment sterile. They must learn to only open their

CHEMISTRY LAB REPORTS How to Write a Lab Report Lab Reports gives the explanation of the experiment done Lab reports are an essential part of all laboratory courses and usually a significant part of your grade. If your instructor gives you an outline for how to write a lab report‚ use that. Here ’s a format for a lab report you can use if you aren ’t sure what to write or need an explanation of what to include in the different parts of the report. A lab report is how you explain what you did

where it is breathed out‚ waste and waste products are filtered out of the blood and excreted in the urine. An incubator has a temperature sensor‚ a thermostat with a switch and a heater. Negative feedback happens when one factor drops and another factor increases until they are in balance‚ for example is when the temperature drops‚ the heater turns on until the temperature goes up again. Feedback is when any change in the system results in an action that reverses the change. If two effectors have

Anxiety Lab Report Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive anxiety‚ somatic anxiety and self confidence in two different situations; non-stressful and stressful. It is to examine the effects on anxiety of a simple golf putting task. The stressor used in this experiment can be described as situational‚ namely the stressor of social comparison‚ the type of stressor that leads many performers to question their own ability which in turn evokes symptoms

raising the temperature. Stir with a glass rod occasionally to make sure the heating is uniform. Measure 50mL of cold distilled water and place in the calorimeter setup. As the water is heating‚ also monitor the temperature of the cold water to find when it reaches equilibrium. Record the temperature of the cold water to the nearest 0.2°C. When the water being heated reaches 70°C-80°C‚ remove from the heat and let it sit on the lab bench‚ stirring occasionally. Record the temperature of the hot water

Abstract Photosynthesis is a food making process for algae and plants. The photosynthesis process rate varies from different wavelengths and intensities of light. This lab will evaluate the optimal wavelengths and degrees of intensity during photosynthesis when chloroplast is exposed to light. The mixtures of DCPIP with water‚ PO4 buffer‚ and chloroplast will be prepared in a number of cuvettes. The cuvettes were tested individually at different wavelengths and intensities to find the optimal rate

orientation of a piezoelectric material during the design and manufacture of a device. There are certain mechanical parameters which plays a great role in piezoelectric effect. 2.2.1 Mechanical Strain The mechanical strain S which results from the application of a stress T is linearly proportional to the compliance S (S-1= Young’s modulus) within the elastic deformation region of the stress-strain curve of the material (below the yield strength )

Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90
