Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

“Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins. These proteins are made up of numerous amino acids‚ which are “Compounds with an amino group (-NH2) on one end

Protocol for Lab 5 – Aerobic Respiration Part 1 Isolation of Mitochondria from Cauliflower - Weigh 50g of rosettes cut from fresh cauliflower head. - Cut rosettes and place it on ice - Prepare juice extractor by placing ice and an empty 150 ml beaker into the right compartment. - Collect pulp from left compartment and record total volume of the extract. Approx. 20ml - Filter the pulp using six layered cheese cloth and collect it in a beaker sitting on ice. - Place two 50 ml test tubes

impurities have on the melting point of an organic compound? Soluble impurities affect the melting point of a solid in the following manner. a. The presence of an impurity in the molten compound reduces its vapor pressure thus lowering the melting point of the compound. b. Broaden the melting point range. 2. For what tow purpose are melting points routinely used a. To determine the identity of an organic solid. b. To determine the purity of an organic solid. 3. What effects on the measured melting

Identification of Unknown Organic Compound by Melting Point (M.P)‚ Boiling Point (B.P) and Infrared Spectroscopy Methods and Background The main objective of this lab is to identify the given unknown organic compounds with various methods. Identification of an unknown compound is important to perform through the process of melting point (M.P)‚ boiling point (B.P) and Infrared spectroscopy (I.R). Index of Hydrogen deficiency (IHD) and elemental analysis makes an experiment more efficient in

Experiment H: Identification of an Unknown Organic Compound The objective of this lab was straightforward. We were given an unknown compound and we were to perform an IR spectroscopy and as well as NMR spectroscopy. With the IR spectroscopy‚ I was able to name the functional groups I have on my compound and further confirmed my assumptions by looking at the NMR spectroscopy after. The unknown number I was given was number 203. The molecular weight of the compound was 121. From the molecular weight‚ I

When referring to the graph and data table of the class average‚ everyone’s data remained relatively the same‚ with the exception of the sugar Lactose‚ which had a drastically lower ppm/min for each group. This sugar basically did nothing during the lab experiment‚ while glucose‚ sucrose‚ and fructose (when used) produced the higher amounts of carbon dioxide. Even though not all groups experimented with sucrose‚ fructose‚ or lactose/lactaid‚ the five respiration rates (excluding lactose) ended up with

Name: Siti Nur Amalina binti Mohamad Sukri Class: M12E Title: Cell Respiration and Aquatic Animal Aim: To investigate the effect of a change in the temperature of water on the respiration rate of a goldfish. Research question: Does a change in temperature of water affect the respiration rate of a goldfish? Introduction: “The goldfish is a domesticated subspecies of a carp like fish called Carassius auratus. Goldfish are usually kept as pets‚ feeding on fish food‚ algae‚ plankton and other
