Maria Martinez Anatomy and physiology II TTH 2:20 “Demonstrating the Importance of Surfactant: Lab Report” Introduction Surfactant is an essential component for the respiratory system to function properly. This experiment was administrated to help us understand better the role of surfactant in the alveolar system. Surfactant is a detergent-like substance produced by the Type II alveolar cells in the alveoli. Surfactant is produced to make it easier for people to breath by reducing the surface

Introduction: There are times when it is necessary to go through something both inside and outside‚ literally‚ to learn. This was exactly the case with virtual lab #11 where the experiment called for an examination of an earthworm’s exterior anatomy and interior anatomy. The earthworm as a whole is considered the dependent variable as we cannot change it. However‚ the labels to be placed can be moved so they are the independent variables. My hypothesis is quite elementary. I believe that after studying

Morgan Kimmerle Monday Lab Dr. McCorkell Abstract The purpose of this study was to cross and analyze the reciprocal crosses of wild flies and mutant flies. In this lab Drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit flies were used to understand some important genetic principles that were once proposed by Gregor Mendel. Mutant traits can be autosomal dominant‚ autosomal recessive traits‚ or even sex-linked dominant and sex-linked recessive. F1 and F2 generations were obtained by performing

1310 Instructor: Dr. Gao Laboratory Assistant: Lauren February 7‚ 2015 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the molar mass of an unknown solid. The freezing point of a solvent (Cyclohexane) was determined‚ and compare to the freezing point of Cyclohexane with the addition of two different concentration of unknown solid. The pure substance of Cyclohexane has defined physical properties. However‚ when a solute is added these properties are determined by the amount of solute

Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is three fold: 1. Familiarize the student with the concept and meaning of pH 2. Provide the student experience in measuring pH a. pH testing paper 3. Test the student’s hypothesis as it related to the pH of common solutions Hypothesis The pH of the tested solutions will be in the order of the following according to a pH scale: 1. Lime juice 2. Orange juice 3. Soda 4. Iced Tea 5. Milk 6. Water 7. Soapy water Material Required To facilitate

After obtaining the pure compound‚ a melting point determination procedure can be done using a mel-temp device to correctly identify the compound if its identity is unknown. In this experiment‚ the identity of a given unknown organic solid will be discovered using the methods of recrystallization and melting point determination. Safety Information • Be sure to add a boiling chip to any liquid before heating it. • Always wear department approved

Human ECG Abstract The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore‚ the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as‚ in the right and left ankles. Finally‚ the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate. Introduction

Erin Gaudet SCI-220-01 Title: Hair Lab Object: Analyze hair samples Procedure: Same as in lab handout Results: See attached data sheet Conclusion: This type of lab analysis is important to the field of forensic science because you could link a person to a crime. The removal of hair from the body often denotes physical contact between a victim and perpetrator and hence a crime of a serious or violent nature. Forensic scientists would find this lab useful because they would be able to determine

The objective of this lab was to recreate the color profile of a given solution. In this case‚ the solution was Powerade. The final solution should match the absorbance values at the peak wavelengths (420nm and 628nm) in Powerade. This lab was done using deionized water‚ FD&C Blue #1‚ FD&C Yellow #5‚ FD&C Red #40‚ and a spectrometer. To obtain the correct color profile‚ FD&C Blue #1 and FD&C Yellow #5 were utilized in the sample solutions. The experiment was conducted over two days; the first day

animal though? In this experiment we are using lab mice‚ Mus musculus‚ to see if the introduction of a predator scent (fox urine) increases‚ decreases‚ or has no effect on the metabolic rate within them. We will calculate the mass specific metabolic rate and use a t-test to determine if there is a significant change in metabolic rate when the mouse is exposed to the predator urine and when it is not exposed. With these mice being born and raised in a lab‚ the fox urine should have no effect on the metabolic
