AP Bio p. 6 December 8‚ 2011 AP Biology Lab 5: Cellular Respiration Introduction/Lab Objective: In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature‚ and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical

AP Biology August 23‚ 2012 Egg Osmosis Lab Definition of osmosis: The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low concentrations Hypothesis: If I place an egg in vinegar‚ then the outer layer of the egg is going to become slimy and look like rubber. It will also become larger and bubbles will form on and around the egg. Hypothesis: If I place an egg in corn syrup‚ then the egg will become small and the outer layer will not look like rubber any longer. Day one:

Cintya G. Alarcon Donna Biology 121 section WDF Lab Report # 1 1.On the graph paper in Figure 3‚ plot a graph of your experimental results. Choose an appropriate number scale for the Y-axis and label it Number of Infections. Choose an appropriate number scale for the X-axis label it Number of Exchanges. 2. In a few sentences‚ summarize the results of the experiment. In your summary‚ include data from your summary chart and graph. Statements of results should include only facts—no interpretation

Adriana Gutierrez AP Biology Lab 9 Analysis 1. For this experiment‚ what were the independent variable and the dependent variable? What were the constants? The independent variable of this experiment are the environmental factors that you are testing on the rate of transpiration‚ so our independent variables would be bright light‚ fan‚ dark‚ and misted. The dependent variable is the rate of transportation because this depends on whatever environmental factor the plant is placed. The constants

AP Biology Lab 1 Ross Lordo Introduction Questions 1. The solute potential would be -2.48. If the concentration inside the cell is .15 M‚ then would diffusion out of the cell and into the solution of .1 M. This is due to water potential and the tendency for water to move from areas of high water potential to low water potential. 2. The turgor pressure must be equal to the water potential if there is no net diffusion. The cell and environment have reached equilibrium and the movement of water

55. a) Cuticles on the outermost layer of angiosperms are clear‚ which allows for light to pass through. The leaf is shaped in a way that will allow it to absorb more sunlight and be more efficient. Photosynthesis takes place in the spongy parenchyma and the palisade parenchyma. In order to obtain food‚ it is controlled by the stoma which controls the passage of gas and water. b) Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the

events cause unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next‚ can increase or decrease variability within particularly small populations. Certain genotype/phenotype frequencies‚ for example‚ may be reduced or completely eliminated through chance events. Examples of genetic drift might include the founder effect‚ which consists of a select amount of individuals is separated from a larger population and eventually establishes a gene pool different from that of the source
