An Experiment of Adaptation Introduction: Throughout history of time‚ organisms change in relation to their environment‚ consequently‚ adaptation is an essential property of life. This experiment is designed to test the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster. This kind of insect is also called fruit flies‚ it has been widely used in scientific research because it has a short life cycle about two weeks and it is easy to keep large numbers of them (Manning). Two groups of this species will be used

Experiment 1 Laboratory Techniques and Measurements Purpose: To determine measurements of different items that vary from solids to liquids and be able convert those values to other SI units of measurement. Procedure: I used a variety of scientific tools such as; a ruler‚ beaker‚ graduated cylinder‚ volumetric flask‚ thermometer‚ burner‚ and digital scale to find unknown values of measurements for each of the indicated

Ricin is a toxic protein found in castor oil plant seeds. The toxicity of Ricin has been known for centuries and was even used by the KGB government to assassinate Georgi Markov‚ a famous journalist who openly criticized the Soviet Union’s communist regime. The toxicity of ricin is caused by its ability to deactivate ribosomes and halt protein synthesis. Therefore‚ Ricin is categorized as a ribosome inactivating protein (RIP). There are two types of RIPs: type I and type II. Type I RIPs are usually

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

“Cell Transport Lab” Hypothesis: I hypothesis that there will be a movement of molecules out of the egg‚ and will move into the water solution. Osmosis will occur within the egg‚ and in the process the molecules of the egg will diffuse. Time (hrs) | Observations | Circumference (cm) | * 0 | * Egg is of normal weight and size * No membrane is being shown‚ and is almost perfect | * 14 centimeters | * 24 | * Egg has gotten larger taking in some of the water * Shell is soft

DENATURATION OF PROTEINS Abstract The experiment was done to be able to understand how various denaturants such as HCl and NaOH affects proteins. It was observed that different denaturants act upon or denature protein differently. This was determined using the principle of viscometry. An Ostwald viscometer was used to measure the viscosity of the prepared native‚ blank‚ denatured native and blank with denaturant solutions. The time required for the said solutions to pass through the viscometer

The purpose of my experiment is to determine which temperature will allow Luminol to glow at its greatest capacity. My hypothesis is that the glow will illuminate for the longest time in a cold temperature because it will take longer to dissolve. I also predict that in the warmer temperature‚ the glow will be at it’s brightest. Luminol is a chemical‚ which exhibits chemiluminescence with a blue glow. It is a solid that is soluble in most polar solvents‚ but insoluble in water. Luminol is widely
