Yeast Population Dynamics Lab How Environmental Factors Affect a Yeast Population’s Ability to Reproduce OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to emphasize the influence that limiting factors have on a population. This lab tests yeast‚ a common component in baking‚ against two environmental factors (changes in temperature or concentration) to see what effect these have on the population dynamics of the yeast over a period of 72 hours. There are two sections of tests included in this

Yeast Population Lab Report During this experiment we were trying to determine how food availability affects CO2 production (related to population growth). We investigated how one factor influences the change in yeast population growth as measured by the amount of carbon dioxide produced. The yeast that you buy in the store contains living organisms–invisible small one celled‚ microorganisms. As long as they are kept dry‚ they are inactive. When they are given food‚ moisture and warmth‚ they

Title: Grip Strength and Muscle Fatigue I. Purpose/Hypothesis: In this lab the subject will grip on a scale that measures the amount of force being put on it. We will observe the change in hand strength during continuous grip over time. Then we will also measure hand strength during rapid‚ repetitive gripping. I believe that hand strength will weaken during a continuous grip more than if you were to keep a repetitive grip. II. Procedure: 1. Connect the Hand Dynamomenter to LabQuest and select

Courtney Jablonowski Dr. Peterson Lab Report 1 June 17‚ 2012 Results The tooth formula is a shorthand technique that biologist use to keep track of the teeth on a particular jaw. The formula consisted of two lines‚ top jaw and bottom jaw‚ which were used to count how many incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molar teeth a species had. Species A‚ Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer)‚ had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw‚ the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have

Population growth in yeast Aim: To study the population growth rate of yeast‚ a microorganism Saccharomyces cerevesiae Variables: | | Units | Independent variable | Time the readings were taken | Hours | Dependent variable | Absorbance (increasing yeast population) | - | Controlled variables | Units | Possible effects on result | The wave lengths | Nanometer | since the transmission and absorbance is being measured at a specific wave length‚ so if we change it the results

changed greatly since the 1960s and 1970s‚ when there existed a virtual consensus among Western experts that rapid population growth in the developing world represented a serious global crisis. One of the primary causes of environmental degradation in a country could be attributed to rapid growth of population‚ which adversely affects the natural resources and environment. The uprising population and the environmental deterioration face the challenge of sustainable development. The existence or the absence

Transpiration Lab Write-up. Introduction Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants. It’s not simply a hazard of plant life but it’s the engine that pulls water from the roots to cool the leaf and supply photosynthesis. The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is lower than that in the leaf. Because of this difference‚ water vapor diffuses from the spaces of the leaf‚ through the stomata in the epidermis. Stomata are in the lower epidermis; the lower surface receives less

How to Write a Lab Report Lab reports are formal papers that describe and analyze lab experiments. They follow a very specific format. If you study this paper carefully and follow its directions‚ you will find that these papers are not at all difficult and can have a positive impact on your Biology grade. Paper formatting: The paper should be typed and double spaced. Use a standard 12 point font (do not use cute fonts or colored paper!). Except for the title and abstract – each section

Evolution Lab A. 1. a. The default value of 20 cm of rainfall is relatively low compared the range that the island may receive‚ which is anywhere between 0 cm to 100 cm. b. From an average of 20 cm of rainfall I would expect more hard seeds to be produced. 2. a. The beak size of 12 mm is relatively shallow compared to the available range from 10 mm to 30 mm. b. The shallow beak size of 12 mm is not suited for the hard seeds that are available because of the low rainfall of 20 cm.
