Organic Chemistry II Lab 9 Fermentation of a Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose * Introduction Ethanol is one of the oldest alcohols and also the least toxic one. Industrially‚ ethanol is made most economically by hydration of ethylene. However‚ ethanol that is intended for human consumption must‚ by law‚ be prepared by fermentation. By either method‚ ethanol‚ of course‚ has the same formula‚ structure‚ and properties. The fermentation takes place with the assistance of enzymes from yeast

Mallory Charland February 9‚ 2015 Mutations of E. coli Lab Report Advanced Biology Deducing Mutations of the Lac Operon of E. coli Abstract: In this lab we determined a possible mutation in unique bacterial strains of E. coli by observing the proper responses of wild type E. coli Lac Operon as a control group. Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance

What is it? Sickle cell anemia is a type of blood disorder that can be inherited from parents. This is when red blood cells that are meant to carry oxygen around the body become deformed. Normal red blood cells are round and disc shaped‚ however‚ when they become sickle red blood cells‚ the deform and change shape into a crescent-like shape or sickle shape. The sickle cells have a shorter life-span than a healthy red blood cell and are not replaced as quickly as normal; this leads to a shortage

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY REPORT DAPHNIA Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of temperature and various substances on the heart beat of Daphnia‚ a water flea. Introduction Daphnia belongs to a group of small‚ freshwater crustaceans of the order Cladocera commonly called water fleas. They are very suitable for laboratory studies due to the nature of their transparent exoskeletons. Hence‚ it is possible to watch Daphnia hearts without dissecting them. Daphnia is ectothermic and

put half a spoon of zinc fillings. We add 20 ml of 3M NaOH solutions in it. We placed the beaker on the hot plate‚ which we had turned on before. We put the penny into the beaker. After it started to boil‚ we removed the penny from the beaker‚ using tongs. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING: Observations: The color changing process took longer than we had expected. We observed that after putting the penny in the beaker‚ the zinc powder surround the penny‚ which helped it changed its color. We
