The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye

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

cName: Nicholas Cassel Gen Chem 1210 23 March 2013 Blinded By the Light Abstract: In this experiment we were provided a cereal box spectrometer to observe the emission lines of noble gases and hydrogen. Based on the scale readings on the spectrometer and the Balmer-Rydberg formula‚ their wavelengths and percent error were able to be extrapolated. Based on the literature values‚ the cereal box spectrometer proved its value as a decently accurate spectrometer. Introduction: Every element

was higher than the actual melting point of pure aspirin; 135°C. The phenol test showed that the product is not a pure aspirin by expressing purple color. TLC results weren’t high enough to conclude that the product was a pure aspirin. Overall‚ the lab wasn’t successful due to the low percentage of aspirin that were produced. Out of 2.0 grams of aspirin‚ only 0.7862 grams of pure aspirin were produced. So the percent yield was only 39%. Errors could be made during filtration process and the melting

Unfortunately the time constraint was caused by and outside influence unrelated to the lab itself‚ and so next time we could do a lab under normal conditions where there are no outside disturbances. There were weight differences in the potatoes which could have caused thicker potatoes to absorb more than others. It was a little impossible to obtain the same

Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests Jacob Palmer University of Puget Sound March 3rd‚ 2015 Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests INTRODUCTION Flexibility can be defined as the capability of something to bend easily without breaking. The flexibility of a person is commonly measured during fitness tests‚ and the most frequently used test of a person’s flexibility is the sit-and-reach

Doing so can help identify diseases and created treatment and cures for such diseases. As a result‚ various laboratory tests were performed to an unknown microbe (Unknown #1) found in the water of a nearby pond. By identify the microbe‚ the safety of the water will be known to those around it. Materials and Methods

Title: The Effect of Nicotine on the Heart Rate of the Lumbriculus Variegatus Introduction: Background- This lab is being done to demonstrate the effects of stimulants on the circulatory system of blackworms. In this lab‚ the stimulant we have chosen to use is Nicotine. A stimulant is an agent that causes increased activity‚ especially in the nervous or cardiovascular systems. In this lab‚ we will put blackworms into the Nicotine to look at the differences in pulse rates when compared to a control

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures
