et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away from the light source. In this lab the independent variable is the light

Unknown Lab Report Microbiology Unknown A Sonia Kabra November 26‚ 2014 Introduction There are numerous reasons for identifying unknown bacteria. Some of these organisms have distinct qualities that set them apart from one another‚ such as the exposure to certain environments. Through out the semester in the laboratory‚ we are able to encounter some of the few microorganisms that we as humans have come into contact with. With the knowledge gained from the sessions in the laboratory‚ we can now

Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation

2014 Authored by: Cody Appleby‚ Gregory Harmeling‚ and Joseph Pernici May 26th‚ 2014 Lab section: C014 Monday 11am-1:50pm TA: Eduardo Castillo Work station 8 1 Abstract This lab consisted of three different measurements; measuring length‚ flow rate‚ and resistance. The reason for this lab was to use statistical concepts learned in lecture to analyze data and to become more familiar with the lab equipment. Repeatability measurements were taken on a bolt to get the total length‚ and

enzymes) maximizes juice production and would be most cost effective. The proposed hypothesis was if the enzyme‚ pectinase‚ is added to apple juice‚ then the more juice will be extracted than if cellulase were added because pectinase holds the cell wall together and if it is separated apart from each other‚ then the more juice would be able to flow out. The experimental data show that during the ten minutes of filtration‚ apple juice came out of the pectinase faster than the rest of the enzymes. During

Organismic Lab Lab1- Dichotomous Key Introduction A dichotomous key is a series of paired statements or questions that are used to categorize organisms with their similarities in characteristics and or structure. The word dichotomous comes from two Greek words that translate to “divided in two parts.” In a Dichotomous key each step has two choices: whether a particular characteristic is present or absent. The questions

this experiment‚ we used two different chelators‚ ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop the effects of catechol oxidase on potato cells by testing the change in absorbency over time. Our data supported our hypothesis that EDTA would have a greater change in absorbency over time than PTU. Environmental Parameters of Enzyme Activity Introduction In this experiment‚ we used potato cells (CO) to act as

Titration Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab is reach and be able to calculate the equivalence point when we use titration to neutralize a base with acid. The process of the lab was determining the volume of a solution needed to react with a given mass or volume of a sample is called titration. The equivalence point is when the same number of moles of acid and moles of base has been added. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator because it will have a color change when the equivalence point
