Transpiration Lab Write-up. Introduction Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants. It’s not simply a hazard of plant life but it’s the engine that pulls water from the roots to cool the leaf and supply photosynthesis. The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is lower than that in the leaf. Because of this difference‚ water vapor diffuses from the spaces of the leaf‚ through the stomata in the epidermis. Stomata are in the lower epidermis; the lower surface receives less

Vaishnavi Kothapalli Mrs. Manning Honors Biology 30 November 2012 TITLE: The Reaction Rate of Catalase in Various Concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide QUESTION: How long does the catalase take to float to the top of a cup filled with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide concentration? PREDICTION: A prediction that can be made for this experiment is that the higher the concentration‚ the faster time it takes the catalase to react with the solution. As the concentration increases from

Bacteria Lab Write-Up Jianna Liu P8 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find out which substance‚ alcohol‚ antibacterial soap‚ water‚ or hydrogen peroxide‚ is the best at preventing the growth of bacteria. Hypothesis: Antibacterial soap will be the best because soap is a substance that people use to wash their hands because it takes away the germs. Even the name‚ antibacterial soap‚ suggests that it fights off bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is second because it is used

The Mollusks Tori Johnson Kylie Pocrnich December 17‚ 2012 Zoology In this lab‚ my partner Kylie and I will be examining the internal and external features of the clam. “Like all mollusks‚ a clam has a mantle which surrounds its soft body. It also has a muscular foot which enables the clam to burrow itself in mud or sand” (Miller and Levine). Clams are mollusks with two valves also nickname the bivalves. Clams are mostly marine animals however; the clams we will dissect are freshwater clams. Adult

Pouri‚ Nikole Period 1 1/14/12 Mitosis Lab Write-Up Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to understand the phases of mitosis through a hands on experience and not just textbook information. The objective is to visually determine each phase through a microscope with a clear understanding of what is happening. With this knowledge and this visual a picture is to be drawn as descriptive as possible for each phase. Materials: The materials needed are; 1) Microscope 2) A slide containing plant

IB Friction Lab Write Up 3. The slope of my graph represents the constant value for myu as the Normal Force and the force of friction are constantly changing. 4. The kinetic slope is the biggest by far because it represents the less coefficient of friction it has to overcome to move easier. 5. According to my data table‚ an increase in weight always‚ without fail‚ creates a greater force of friction. 6. An increase in weight does not affect the coefficient of friction by also increasing

displacement‚ the volumes of the paper clip samples were measured and the masses were obtained by using an electronic balance. Each mass and volume was unique to their sample so by using their values‚ density was used to identify substances in the lab. After conducting the experiment‚ the results showed that there was a positive slope between the different paper clip samples’ masses and their volumes. It was concluded from this pattern that density is an extensive property. Introduction In science

John Leone Lab Partner(s) Ethan Davis & Ryan Hanna Date: 12/10/14 Instructor: Dr. Chuckran Period: H Plants and Animal Cells Abstract: In this lab‚ you will find out how plant and animal cells are alike and how they are different. The onion elodea cells were both plants‚ so they had a cell wall. The cheek cells were animal cells‚ so they did not have a cell wall. Eukaryotic cells contain structures called organelles that carry out life processes. Eukaryotic cells can be classified by the types of organelles they contain

Evolution Lab A. 1. a. The default value of 20 cm of rainfall is relatively low compared the range that the island may receive‚ which is anywhere between 0 cm to 100 cm. b. From an average of 20 cm of rainfall I would expect more hard seeds to be produced. 2. a. The beak size of 12 mm is relatively shallow compared to the available range from 10 mm to 30 mm. b. The shallow beak size of 12 mm is not suited for the hard seeds that are available because of the low rainfall of 20 cm.

Starch is a type of Carbohydrate that’s made from thousands of glucose units. Simple sugars are the basic units that make up starch. Carbohydrates provide us with energy so that we can carry out our daily routines. Our body then digests it into glucose so we can have energy to do that. Saliva is a form of chemical digestion that is in the mouth. Amylase is an enzyme that catalysts the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it begins the chemical process of digestion
