Paramecium Experiment Lab Report
Paramecium is a unicellular ciliate from the kingdom Protista. Paramecium can swim in the water. However, when you add different chemical into water, it will affect the swimming speed of the paramecium. The various students groups have individual experiment of how dose NaCl affect swimming speed of Paramecium, but the experiment did not show the result clearly to students. Therefore, after they finish the presentation, most of the students want to find out the chemical NaCl increases swim speed of Paramecium.
Experiment Design The experiment prediction is if we add 4mL of Paramecium to 25mL of 0.2M NaCl and 225mL of Dryl’s solution, then Paramecium swim speed will increase. The independent variable is presence or absence of NaCl, the dependent

    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 required for the secretion of trichocysts by treating cells with EGTA, an agent that blocks calcium ions; our second tested whether increased calcium will counter the inhibitory effects of EGTA; our third tested whether adding different ion, like MgCl,…

    In the experiment, we tested a sodium chloride solution. Along with the tested solution, control groups (water and sodium phosphate) were used to be help understand whether or not NaCl was a buffer. Water was the negative control group and sodium phosphate was the positive control group. If NaCl was a buffer than the pH would be stabled as the sodium phosphate buffer. If NaCl was not a buffer than the pH would fluctuate like the negative control, water. During the first trial and prior to the drops of 0.5 M of HCl acid, the pH of sodium chloride was 7.50. After the addition of 5 drops of 0.5 M of HCl, the pH decreased by 4.83 and ended at 2.67 on the pH scale. When comparing the results of the sodium chloride to the control groups, the total pH change of sodium phosphate was only…

    : If daphnia are exposed to poor water quality from manmade factors such as car antifreeze, plant pesticide and cigarette ash then their quality of life decreases and changes their behaviors and potentially kills them because the harsh chemicals cause their natural functions to shut down and cause death. Although my hypothesis was partially correct I believe there are more factors than just the introduction of chemicals that would weaken the daphnia. Before my experiment I had designed my plan to observe the daphnia for an hour but I had to change my time to a half an hour due to lack of time I had left after setting up my experiment. I would observe two petri dishes at a time rather than all 4 at the same time. If I could redo my research…

    The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis, the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created, each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic solutions for a period of 90 min. Over time, the rate of osmosis was measured by calculating the weight of each artificial cell on given intervals (every 10 minutes). The resulting weights were recorded and the data was graphed. We then could draw conclusions on the lab.…

    Procedure: For this lab we used four test tubes and poured equal amounts of a substance in each test tube. We then observed the color and odor. We then heated the substance and recorded the observation. The next tube we added cold water and observed the effects, then we heated it and observed the effects. Drops from that test tube were then placed on a red and blue litmus paper and observations were recorder.
