AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 50.1: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the scientific study of how organisms interact with the environment. When studying Ecology scientists want to know‚ where organisms live‚ why they live there‚ and how many are there. Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting

INTRODUCTION: These experiments helped us learn the factors that were involved in the growth of the bacteria that increased our study towards their genetic‚ physical and metabolic characteristics. We used Escherichia coli and Bacteriophage T7 to identify and analyze their identical life cycle and replication that was involved in their process of growth. As‚ growth for any bacteria means it multiplying by increasing in its size and quantity‚ which can easily be examined by measuring its cell mass

antibiotics. For this reason‚ it is important to test and observe unknown organisms in the lab to continually improve the health and well being of society. The objective of this report was to first isolate a single colony of an unknown culture on a LB agar plate. From here‚ a slant was made and used for multiple types of testing in order to determine the identity of the unknown organism. The tests performed to identify the unknown organism included Gram Staining‚ Fluid thioglycollate/aero-tolerance test
