Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives

Effects of Temperature on the Formation of Cheese Curds This lab was performed in order to find what temperature the enzyme chymosin is most effective at forming cheese curds. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biological reactions in cells. They work by lowering the activation energy and help to orient the molecules correctly. Chymosin was originally taken from the stomachs of calves‚ and was called rennet‚ and then purified to make rennin. Eventually to catch up with

Science Lab on Electromagnets By Caitlin Hendriks Factors that Affect the Strength of an Electromagnet Purpose: To test how two different factors‚ the number of loops and the current intensity‚ affect the strength of the magnetic field of an electromagnet. Materials: Power pack‚ 4 connecting wires‚ switch‚ ammeter‚ paperclips‚ iron nail‚ copper wire. PART A: TESTING THE NUMBER OF LOOPS Procedure: 1. Create an

The temperature of water was determined by a thermometer. 1 cm stripped ends of the wires was hooked into the input posts on the back of the impendence converter. Lab tutor module was started after. B. Baseline heart rate The top of the container was covered with foil and the animal was allowed to sit quietly for 10 min. The trace was examined by pressing start. After that the baseline or the controlled

The Differences in the Number of Stomata amongst Three Different Life Stages of Leaves Introduction Stomata control a tradeoff for the plant: they allow carbon dioxide in‚ but they also let precious water escape. A plant that could get enough carbon dioxide with fewer stomata would have an advantage since it would be better able to conserve its water. Levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere change over time — so at times when the atmosphere is carbon-dioxide-rich‚ plants can get away with

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound

root tip of a plant spend a comparatively long time in the mitotic phase‚ whereas those cells comprising slow-growing tissues would spend most of their lives in interphase. Non-dividing cells remain in interphase and never enter the mitotic phase. (Lab Manual 64) Interphase is the synthesis of biological molecules including DNA and duplicated DNA with associated proteins. These comprise the chromatin that begin to condense toward the end of this phase‚ but are not yet visible. The nucleoplasm
