It is thought that archaea and bacteria were diverged early in their existence because of all the dissimilarities between the two groups. Both bacteria and archaea are enclosed in cell membranes. Archaea have a single cell membrane that absences a peptidoglycan wall and also their genetic transcription and translation‚ the two main processes in molecular biology do not show the typical bacterial features‚ but are quite similar to those of eukaryotes. Archaea are more related to eukaryotes‚ even though

Discussion for Experiment 1 (Basic Laboratory Operations and Identification of a compound : Chemical Properties) In the first experiment‚ the precision of instrument was studied by measuring the mass of water for several times. The result shows that the mass measurement of the balance is precise since the masses of water in six trials are somewhat close. The reason that the masses of water in each trial are not identical may come from the high sensitivity of the balance that keep fluctuating due

Sampling of Gram-Positive Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Resting We thought it would be interesting to find out the different bacteria that grow on things we use on a daily basis and the level of antibiotic resistance that those bacteria have. We chose to swab the toilet seat in the MATC women’s bathroom and the ATM machine in the commons area on campus. We were certain the ATM would be dirtier than the toilet seat since the bathrooms get cleaned every day. The first step we took in testing

time) 3. Clean your surface with disinfectant to sterilise your lab work surface‚ this will prevent contamination but leave the disinfectant to stand up to 4 minutes so it can penetrate the harder capsules of some bacteria. 4. Using a sterile pipette with draw some of your bacteria culture from the bottle making sure you flame the neck of the bottle to keep the procedure sterile. Place what you have withdrawn on to an agar plate. 5. then get your glass sterile spreader out of the packet making

Separation and Identification of Plant Pigments by Paper Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this

Norway Rats: Facts‚ Identification & Control Latin Name Rattus norvegicus Appearance Norway rats are large rodents that may weigh in excess of 500 grams. They can reach lengths of 40 cm‚and their tails alone may measure 21 cm. The body of the Norway rat is covered in shaggy fur that is brown or gray in color. The ears and tail are covered in scales‚ and the tail is shorter than the head and body. Droppings are capsule-shaped. Behavior‚ Diet & Habits Norway rats typically nest in underground burrows

Fermented food‚ enjoyed across the globe‚ conveys health benefits through lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation process can transform the flavor of food from the plain and mundane to a mouth-puckering sourness enlivened by colonies of beneficial bacteria and enhanced micronutrients. While fermented food like yogurt‚ sauerkraut and kefir are well-known many other lesser-known foods also benefit from the lactic acid fermentation process. Indeed‚ virtually every food with a complex or simple sugar content

Identification of a Hydrate Based on Percent Water Varun Wadhwa 11/19/12 Introduction The identity of an unknown hydrate was determined by massing the hydrate before and after heating and calculating the percentage of water. Procedure First‚ we cleaned‚ dried and heated an evaporating dish for five minutes on an iron ring with the Bunsen burner and massed it. Then‚ we added 2 grams of an unknown hydrate and calculated the mass of that. Next‚ we used gradually increasing heat for
