Introduction When plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the

September 23‚ 2012 Introduction: Bacteria are everywhere. Some can be seen with the naked eye and some require a microscope but how do we distinguish one kind of bacteria from another? To answer this question‚ we were required to complete three bacterial labs that helped us to understand what microorganisms are and how to identify and classify them. Thus‚ the main purpose of this project is to identify our unknown microorganisms‚ more specifically‚ our unknown bacteria. There are many ways to distinguish

’Neil 2002). The particular conditions that had to exist for this to apply were that the population had no mutation‚ had no natural selection‚ was a large population‚ had only random mating‚ and had no migration. For the cases to follow later in the lab‚ Cases 1 and 2 exemplify Hardy-Weinberg conditions. All of the others either have selection or not enough members in the population‚ which will be the most-closely observed

1. Introduction Microscopy is an essential technique not only in cell biology but natural science as a whole. We compared different types of microscopic techniques ‚ according to the specimen used and the scope of the experiment. Two specimens‚ stained and unstained‚ containing CHO cells‚ were prepared‚ examined and analyzed under the microscope using bright field (HF)‚ dark field (DF) and phase contrast (PH) settings. In addition‚ the four phases of cell division cycle were estimated.. Bright

Evolution Lab Report Marcos Chapa July 3‚ 2013 BIO 101 Rebecca Avants The purpose of the lab I have conducted is to analyze how altering the finch’s environment would affect the evolution of the finches by isolating each population of finches from each other‚ placing them each on a different island. This influence on the species by the environment is called allopatric speciation. One population of the finches that are located Darwin Island‚ which is 1 km‚ and the other population of finches

Physics Lab report Aammar Paracha Section MX Feb 6th 2015 OPTICS Abstract: This experiment revolves around using light rays and lenses. The experiment also discusses different properties of light rays. This experiment uses different lenses and measurements to produce images and observes different techniques to obtain the image position. Question and Answers: 1. Use your data to verify the Law of Reflection and then use Snell’s Law to calculate

2012-11-21 Staphylococcus aureus is the most pathogenic for humans and Staphylococcus epidermidis is part of the normal flora and is of low pathogenicity. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus are two medically important species of bacteria. A culture from the nose and throat was taken to perform whether or not Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus aureus were detected. Test were performed to determine which Stpahylococci was present and the results of the test indicated that

ABSTRACT On the past two weeks‚ I have done an experiment on hydrostatics‚ or is also known as fluid statics (fluid at rest) within the fluid mechanics field of study. This condition explains that in a stable condition‚ the fluid is at rest. The use of fluid in doing work is known as hydraulics‚ and the science of fluid in motion is known as fluid dynamics. INTRODUCTION The natural nature of fluids are they cannot remain stationary under the application of shear stress. However‚ fluid

Lab Report Density Name: Period: Problem How do you calculate Density? What units did you use for volume‚ mass‚ and density? When the cubes are placed in water which one will sink 1st? What is the ranking of the cubes lightest (1) to heaviest (10)? Is it true that the cube with the most mass will have the most density? Hypothesis I think the 1st cube was aluminum I think the 2nd cube was steel I think the 3rd cube was brass I think the 4th cube was copper I think the 5th
