This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food. Daphnia‚ or Daphnia magna‚ are microscopic organisms in which the students created an original lab to test

Applied Mechanics Lab (MEC 424). A pendulum is defined as body so suspended from a fixed point as to swing freely to and from by the alternate action of gravity and momentum. It is used to regulate the movements of clockwork and other machinery. Therefore‚ a compound pendulum is a pendulum consisting of an actual object allowed to rotate freely around a horizontal axis Consider an extended body of mass [pic]with a hole drilled though it. Suppose that the body is suspended from a fixed peg‚ which

the period of oscillations to the length of the pendulum.Sources of error for this procedure included precision in both length and time measurement tools‚ reaction time of the stopwatch holder‚ and the accuracy of the stopwatch with respect to the lab atomic clock. The final result of g takes into account the correction for the error introduced using the approximation. There are opportunities to correct for the effects of mass distribution‚ air buoyancy and damping‚ and string stretching[1]. Our results

BACKGROUND I. A. About the Industry Coffee is a brewed beverage with a distinct aroma and flavor‚ prepared from the roasted seeds of the Coffea plant. A coffee plant is usually a bush or small tree that grows to 10-12 feet (although it can grow up to 32 feet) and can produce coffee beans for decades. It can live for between 60 and 70 years. It can take up to four years for a coffee tree to reach maturity and bear fruit. The English word coffee originates from the Arabic word ‘kaweh’ meaning strength

extract caffeine from coffee grounds. In order to do this‚ filtration and extraction techniques with solvents such as calcium carbonate‚ magnesium sulfate‚ and dichloromethane were used1. Decaffeination is something that’s used around the world‚ and there is much discussion on the different methods that can be used. In this case‚ using solvents and heat was the preferred method in order to extract the caffeine. Decaffeination is often used to in order to prevent the addictive properties of coffee that

Truth be told‚ there is. Caffeine is renowned for being the world’s most widely consumed psychoactive drug‚ but it is also known for literally shaking up our bodies by affecting our nervous systems. The drug can be good for us in some ways‚ but also bad in other ways. This makes it tricky and debatable whether caffeine is more helpful or more harmful. Inside the neurotransmitter‚ caffeine causes receptors to receive more dopamine chemicals by blocking off adenosine chemicals from getting through. Adenosine

# Now You See It – Copper Cycle Lab The purpose of the lab is to discover what happens when someone executes a series of procedures‚ beginning with copper metal. What is done | What is observed | 1. Started with copper‚ Cu (s). | reddish‚ brownish‚ orange-ish‚ powder-like | 2. Added nitric acid‚ HNO3 (aq). | acid turns blue and smells like chlorine. | 3. Added water‚ H2O (l). | stayed the same | 4. Added sodium hydroxide‚ NaOH (aq). | changed consistency‚ gel-like | 5. Heated the

The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to

For example: Mg + 2HCl Mg + H2SO4 MgCl2 + H2 MgSO4 + H2 I discovered from an A’ level text book (A-level Chemistry by Ramsden) that nitric acid doesn’t usually give hydrogen‚ but may do with magnesium if the acid is cold and dilute. The book didn’t say how dilute the acid had to be. Other products may include oxides of nitrogen

PEES 4200W- Physiology of Exercise Lab #2: Metabolism and Energy Expenditure 1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry‚ how efficient the subject ’s body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled‚ as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min‚ the volume
