Identification and Recreation of Unknown White Compound #643p November 13‚ 2012 INTRODUCTION: The identity of the unknown solid white compound is determined and verified through a series of tests which uncover physical and chemical properties necessary for identification. A new sample of the same compound is then created to further prove the accuracy of the identification. The compound must be identified in order to be used. For example‚ KCl is used in medicine‚ scientific applications‚ and

The purpose of the unknown bacteria lab assignment was to select an unknown bacteria culture and‚ through a series of metabolic tests‚ identify which bacteria genus resided in the pure culture received. A nutrient broth inoculated with bacterial culture (numbered 45‚ henceforth referenced as U45) was selected and a streak plate was made to isolate a pure culture for use throughout the assignment. From the streak plate‚ several slides were made to determine the morphology of unknown 45. A Gram stain

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location‚ action‚ shape‚ and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone‚ but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions‚ like the genioglossus
