Duckweed is a small aquatic plant that is able to grow rapidly‚ making it the ideal specimen for our experiment. It is hypothesized that altering the amount of light received by duckweed will alter its photosynthetic rate. It is predicted that a lower light intensity will lower the rate of growth in duckweed. Also is an important high-protein food source for waterfowl and also is eaten by humans in some parts of the world. As it contains more protein than soybeans‚ it is sometimes cited as a significant

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

solution eventually turned pink after swirling the flask. Data processing: As we did not refill the burette with NaOH each time after titrating the unknown acid‚ we need to calculate the difference of the volume before and after each titre. For example‚ the volume used in the first titre would be calculated by: 25-21.3=3.7 mL Uncertainty: (Uncertainty of the previous volume + uncertainty of volume after titration) = (0.05+0.05) =0.1mL Calculating the rest of the titres in a similar fashion

Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each chemical. The

have no stomata‚ or pores‚ to shut to keep the toxins out; therefore‚ absorbing all of the pollutants in the air. Because they are such unique organisms‚ they accumulate different metal anions in the air than other organisms‚ like plants do‚ for example. Lichens attract toxic metal ions. An ion is a charged atom. If the ion has a positive charge‚ it is a cation. An ion with a negative charge is an anion. During the ion exchange process‚ Hydrogen‚ an anion‚ is released and metal cations move in. This

Session 9: The Nervous System - Assignment #2 PhysioEx Assignment : Exercise 3 Neurophysiology of Nerve Impulses Activity 1: The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. Increasing the extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because when K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane they are leaving behind a net negative charge. 2.

EXPERIMENT 5 SEPARATION OF A MIXTURE INTO ITS COMPONENTS BY FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION Introduction: Fractional crystallization is one of the experimental techniques used to separate or purify mixture. Fractional crystallization makes use of the differences of solubility to separate the components of a mixture. Goals: Applying fractional crystallization to separate a mixture of salicylic acid and copper sulfate pentahydrate into its components. Calculate the percent of salicylic
