Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

Rebecca Saady ~Naked Egg Drop~ 24 May 2014 Abstract A wondrous thing is defying nature‚ which is the purpose of a device built to stop an egg from breaking at a height of 7 meters. The egg will fall onto a piece of paper‚ with cotton underneath‚ which is supported by a net of rubber bands‚ which are hoisted up by thick wood sticks. Also balloons are tied below to catch some of the force‚ and then just drop the egg. After the egg was dropped‚ it was a success; it landed smoothly and

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for

’Neil 2002). The particular conditions that had to exist for this to apply were that the population had no mutation‚ had no natural selection‚ was a large population‚ had only random mating‚ and had no migration. For the cases to follow later in the lab‚ Cases 1 and 2 exemplify Hardy-Weinberg conditions. All of the others either have selection or not enough members in the population‚ which will be the most-closely observed

. If the speed of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is related to the temperature then in high temperature it will speeds the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Materials ● Catalase ● Hydrogen peroxide 3% and 1% ● Forceps ● Filter paper discs ● Water ● Ice ● Water baths ● Vials ● Marking Pencils ● Stopwatch Procedure 1. Set up an ice bath (0°C)‚ a room temp water bath‚ a 37°C bath and a boiling water bath 2. Place 5 ml of catalase at 100 units/ml in each 4 test tubes. Place 1 test tube in each of the

Evolution Lab Report Marcos Chapa July 3‚ 2013 BIO 101 Rebecca Avants The purpose of the lab I have conducted is to analyze how altering the finch’s environment would affect the evolution of the finches by isolating each population of finches from each other‚ placing them each on a different island. This influence on the species by the environment is called allopatric speciation. One population of the finches that are located Darwin Island‚ which is 1 km‚ and the other population of finches

The purpose of this lab was to collect and observe microorganisms from the environment and the human body and placing into the appropriate media using aseptic transfer techniques. The necessity and value of collecting‚ identifying and analyzing is critical for learning how diseases are acquired‚ spread and therefore prevented.

A. Goal and Purpose: Session 1: In this lab‚ we will achieve a simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anthracene. The choice of anthracene as an aromatic substrate stems from two considerations. First‚ there is a question of regioselectivity. Second‚ anthracene and its derivatives are highly visible under UV light. Session 2: In this lab‚ we will complete a partial conversion of 9-acetylanthracene using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). We will also determine by NMR‚ the regiochemistry of the
