Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

Synthetic‚ Structural‚ theoretical and biological study of triorganotin(IV) Schiff base complexes derived from amino acids Abstract A new series of triorganotin(IV) complexes of monofunctional bidentate Schiff base have been synthesized and characterized through elemental analysis‚ conductance measurements‚ molecular weight determinations‚ UV-visible‚ multinuclear (1H‚ 13C‚ 119Sn) NMR spectroscopy‚ FT-IR‚ X-ray powder diffraction and theoretical calculations. On the basis of these techniques‚ it

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were

AIM: Finding the gravitational field strength by using a simple harmonic motion of a spring and slotted masses. INTRODUCTION: When a mass suspended from a spring is displaced‚ due to the acceleration‚ kg s-2‚ from its equilibrium and released it will oscillate up and down with a kind of motion called simple harmonic motion‚ shm. The period (T)‚ time taken to measure for one complete oscillation‚ of this motion is: m/kg =

Effects of Alcohol‚ Caffeine‚ and Temperature on the Heart Rate of Daphnia magna Joseph Ezra Gallo BY124L MW 8:30-11:30 Introduction Ectothermic animals are animals whose body temperature is affected by their surroundings. This means that if the environment is cold the animal will be cold. If the environment is warm the animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is

Formal Lab Report | Chemistry | | Student name: Sara Hattar Grade: 10 ”C” | | Teacher: Christine Ziadat | | | Title: Investigating the effects of changing the concentration of an acid on the rate of reaction between HCl and Magnesium. Aim: In this experiment we are going to see the effects of using three different concentrations of HCl when added to Magnesium metal on the rate of reaction. Hypothesis: If the concentration of the acid increased in reaction between HCl (the acid)

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme

Exocytosis Lab Report Rough Draft Abstract: In Paramecium caudatum‚ trichocysts are 10^3 secretory vesicles that are released from the cytoplasm. We first observed how the presence of Alcian blue dye triggers normal secretion of trichocysts‚ and we then tested four different hypotheses in order to determine how the presence of Ca++ ions in the extracellular and intracellular environment affects the secretion of trichocysts. Our first our hypothesis tested whether extracellular calcium is

Body Composition Body composition is the proportion of fat‚ muscle‚ and bone in the body. There are many methods to know someone’s body composition and body fat percentage such as measurement with calipers‚ underwater body‚ fat test‚ the bodpod‚ DEXA scan and bioelectrical impedance analysis. (Kravitz‚ Len‚ Ph.D. & H. Heyward‚ Vivian‚ Ph.D.). The calipers method involves measuring the skinfold thickness of the layer of fat just under the skin in several parts of the body with calipers.

Preliminary Unknown Report Alexis Grettenberger 800503431 Katie Young Alexis Grettenberger Biol 311 Lab 11/21/14 Preliminary Unknown Report Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to identify a specific unknown bacterium that was isolated from a multitude of bacteria in a sample of contaminated dirt by running it through a series of identification techniques. Some of these techniques were simple staining‚ gram staining‚ and isolation techniques. The hypothesis of this experiment was that
