Rachel Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 27 April 2015 GMOs Lab Report Introduction As the population of Earth increases exponentially‚ so does the demand for more food. One of the solutions to the question of how more food can be produced is Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs. There is an ongoing debate about whether or not GMOs are more beneficial or harmful to society. Some of the benefits to GMOs are: growing plants‚ such as corn‚ that are resistant to weeds and pests‚ larger

Biology Lab Report Investigating the Relationship between Cell Size and Rate of Diffusion Ban Madi 11 Dp Biology SL Research Question: How does the size of the cell affect its efficiency in exchanging substances through several ways‚ like diffusion? Aim: To plan and carry out an investigation to show the relationship between volume/Cm3‚ surface area‚ and diffusion using agar cubes measured in time/s; and to demonstrate‚ using diffusion‚ why the size of cells is

to cool down in an ice bath‚ the benzoic acid crystallizes as it decreases in heat. 4) In the remaining cup‚ heat the sand until the solution is completely dissolved. The sand should be left. 5) Using the cooled solution of benzoic acid crystals‚ filter out the benzoic acid from the table salt using funnels. 6) Calculate the percentage amount for each solution and net amount‚ record data in table.

Technologies (USA). HPLC grade acetonitrile‚ acetone and ethyl acetate were supplied by Merck (Mumbai‚ India). Analytical grade sodium chloride (NaCl) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) was obtained from Merck. Anhydrous magnesium sulfate was activated in a muffle furnace at 400 ºC for 6 hr before to use and kept in desiccators. Individual standard stock solutions of 1000 µg/mL were prepared in acetone in a class A grade volumetric flask of 25 ml capacity by dissolving appropriate

Three drops of iron (III) nitrate were added to different spots in the petri dish‚ and the resulting solution was swirled until the color was consistent. Approximately ½ pea-sized sample of potassium

Organic Lab Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Observations We added the 30ml of warm water with 4.7 grams of borax powder in to the cup labeled ‘Borax Solution’ and also added a few dots of green food coloring. We then stirred it until all the solutions were completely mixed. When this happened the borax and water turned into a watery green solution. then we added 15ml of glue in the cup labeled ‘Ball mixture’ and added the mixture we made

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

Collecting Photosynthetic Rates in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) Introduction: The purpose of this study was to see which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a
