into light (Branchini‚ 2008). In the fireflies case the reaction involves the enzyme luciferase which lights up a lantern-like mechanism under the tip the wings and attached to the end of the body of the firefly. It is presumed that the firefly uses the lantern to attract a mate. The goal in this experiment was to test the effect of adenosine triphosphate in lighting the firefly’s lantern in temperature effects‚ pH effects‚ and salt effect. Materials and Methods Powdered firefly lanterns

Investigation Investigate the amount of heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid

The purpose of this exercise was to use our skills we have learned in the lab to identify two unknown organisms. PROCEDURE I was given unknown #76. I performed the streak plating method with my unknown organisms. To perform this exercise I needed a TSA plate and labeled the bottom of it with my name‚ group number and organism. I also divided the bottom into three sections. After that‚ I sterilized my inoculating loop using the bunsen burner flame. After letting the loop cool‚ I reached into my

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found

the principle of pressure difference across fittings in a closed conduit to find out the loss coefficients of these fittings. Thereafter‚ we determine the individual flow rates of the 3 different lines in the system. With this knowledge‚ sufficient understanding about the properties and characteristics of the different devices that can be used in a piping system is necessary for the choice of the appropriate devices to be used in future experiments. In the second part of the experiment‚ we observe

Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

Keeping conditions inside the body the same is called homeostasis. It’s not easy. Lots of things have to happen‚ e.g. energy transferred between body and environment‚ carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration and has to be transported by the bloodstream to the lungs 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

12 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to determine how a beam deflects with load and compare the experimental values to the values calculated from the simple formula and exact formula. We take three different eccentricities 75 mm‚ 55 mm‚ 35 mm and gradually apply load to them. Taking readings and making graphs to explain the outcome. This kind of experiment is helpful in construction of railways and grids. 1.0 Introduction: The experiment is done to
