Light Microscopy Lab Lab write-up 1 Parveen Rajper Biology 101 Principles of Biology 1 September 29‚ 2012 Introduction: The light microscope helps see the microscopic world that the naked eye cannot see. If there were no microscopes in the world‚ than it would be very difficult to understand the many particles that surround the living world. The purpose of this lab experiment is to become familiar with a microscope. It is hypothesized that it will be difficult

Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab‚ we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment‚ or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However‚ in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment‚ we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do‚ and

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

BIOMAGNIFICATION LAB REPORT AIM The aim of this lab is to model bioaccumulation and biomagnification through a food chain. MATERIALS 100 M&M’s Paper towel to lay M&M’s on 20 small cups labelled “zooplankton” 5 medium cups labelled “minnow” 2 larger cups - one labelled “eel #1”‚ and another labelled “eel #2” 1 bowl labelled “osprey” PROCEDURE The pile of M&M’s represents the phytoplankton population in a lake. The printed “M” on the candy represents the amount of DDT (in ppm)

Safety Concerns in the Laboratory Safety goggles must be warn at all times during a lab session. This is very important because they protect your eyes from harmful matter such as chemicals‚ glass‚ and fumes. It is very important to note that they must be goggles and not glasses. Safety glasses may protect the eyes from flying debris and splashes but may not protect the eyes from gas fumes or splashes from underneath. Also‚ wearing contact lenses in a chemical laboratory without proper coverage

Utilizing the Lab Results PS2200 - Criminal Investigation Unit 04 Assignment 01 As the lead homicide investigator for this case I had recently learned that the crime lab has concluded that the finger print that was recovered belonged to the boyfriend‚ they were from a piece of notebook paper found under the body of the victim. Interviews are conducted in criminal cases for the purpose of gathering information from people who have‚ or may have‚ knowledge needed in the investigation. (Swanson

The lab in which we conducted last Tuesday was an analysis of a hydrate and what happens to it when it is heated. A hydrate is a crystalline compound which water molecules are chemically bound to it. In the lab‚ we were to analyze the difference in grams of the hydrate and the anhydrate. An anhydrate is the crystalline compound without the water molecules bound to it. During our lab‚ we were to heat up the crucible‚ the crucible with hydrate‚ and the crucible with an anhydrous and write down each

Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

esterification reaction that was carried out in this lab is shown in figure 1. It worth mentioning that the by-product of such reaction is water. In organic chemistry‚ the reaction in which water molecule is released is known as condensation reaction (Hornback‚ 2006). Figure1 is drawn using Chem Sketch software. a) b) Figure 1: Typical Fischer esterification reaction (a) in comparison to the specific esterification reaction used in this lab (b) The reaction can also be categorized in terms of

Nonbiological Material on the Reaction to a Changing pH Level This experiment was conducted to learn exactly how biological material responds to rising or dropping pH levels in comparison to how nonbiological material does. The dependent variable in this experiment was how the different materials react‚ and the independent variable was the type of material‚ biological or nonbiological. Tap water was the selected nonbiological material‚ and the generally known pH level for water is 7‚ or neutral. Potato homogenate
