INTRODUCTION Biodiversity presents occurrence of variety of species and their natural community in which they live. By the definition it is “The degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of ecosystems and is in part a function of climate.” (Rutherford) Ecosystem is on the other hand‚ “ community and its abiotic environment”( Rutherford). Biodiversity exists in every ecosystem‚ weather it is big one‚ or just ecosystem

Earlier traditional illustration (coloured and black and white) are still considered scientifically important because they can stress fine anatomical features that are often obscured by liquid. Even today‚ these earlier traditional illustrations are referred in research and‚ in fact‚ are sometimes the only physical records of what a now-extinct (or near-extinct) fish look like in life. New technologies can only add to information we know

ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the

Recipe # 1: (one batch) We turned the regular oven on to 375 F. We used two steel bowls‚ one for liquid ingredients and one for dry ingredients. Also‚ we used measuring cups‚ spatulas‚ measuring spoons‚ whisk‚ electric mixer machine. The ingredients we used were all-purpose flour‚ sugar‚ tablespoon vanilla‚ half vegetable oil and half margarine‚ egg‚ little bit salt‚ baking powder. Next‚ we combined sugar and butter in a bowl‚ and we mixed the ingredients with a hand whisk until there

Observation Zinc Shot: Silver color‚ some pieces are shiny while the majority is dull. Tear shaped pieces (round at base with pointed top). No odor. Zinc Granular: Silver in color‚ semi shiny‚ flaky appearance. No odor. Zinc Sheet: Sheet of metal‚ flat pieces that are about 3 inches wide & 2 inches in length & 0.02 inches in height. Each piece has a dull side and a shiny side. Silver in color‚ the dull side has a darker shade of gray. No odor. Zinc Powder: Gray very fine powder. No odor

Murphy Grand Canyon University: Physics 1 Lab September 5‚ 2013 Testable Question: Circular objects; what happens to the circumference as the diameter changes? Hypothesis: As the diameter increases‚ the circumference will increase in a proportional linear way. This is because as the diameter increase‚ the object will as well. Variables: Independent- The diameter of the circular objects. Dependent- The circumference of the

Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

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

Clement Organic Chemistry 2423‚ Section 304 25 October 2017 Lab 6: Natural Products I The main goal of this experiment was to employ isolation techniques to derive chemicals from two different natural sources and study their properties (Clement 91). The two natural sources used in this experiment were an orange (the peel contains limonene‚ which is a terpene) and a dichloromethane solution of clove oil (which contains eugenol‚ an acetogenin). To isolate the eugenol

If the HCl has nothing to react with in the aqueous layer following mixing (i.e.‚ sodium acetylsalicylate)‚ then little to no solid aspirin will be produced. Furthermore‚ more unknown would be produced than expected because aspirin would precipitate with the unknown during distillation.
