experiment conducted by Claire Dunne‚ Eilis Brien and myself about the effects of light intensity‚ representing the three seasons of summer‚ spring‚ autumn and winter‚ on the transpiration rate of mangrove shoots. Abstract: The overall aim of this report was the conduct an experiment based how different light intensity levels‚ representing the four seasons in a year: summer‚ spring‚ autumn and winter‚ affects the transpiration rate in a mangrove plant. To do this we had to set the 4 different beakers at

many variables that could affect the rate of photosynthesis and the net consumption of carbon dioxide. In this experiment‚ the effects of how the intensity of light energy affected photosynthesis were observed. Two pieces of elodea was placed into separate beakers and one of the beakers was placed under a bulb of lower intensity and the other beaker being placed under a higher intensity bulb. The results showed that the beaker under the higher intensity light energy had a higher consumption of carbon

widths I did not see any puffs. I observed that the chromosomes of D. melanogaster were much larger in size and easier to study than human chromosomes. Discussion I observed that polytene chromosomes had formed just like my prediction. This result supports my hypothesis that endomitosis has occurred. I observed that polytene chromosomes were big‚ light and had dark banding patterns with all homologous pairs of chromosomes connected to chromocentre similar to Baudisch ’s observation in his 1977 paper

AFFECTING THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Introduction Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction which takes place inside the green plants (plants with chlorophyll‚ a pigment found in chloroplasts which causes the colour of the plants and it is the main photosynthetic pigment) and light energy is converted into chemical energy. Carbon dioxide‚ water and sunlight is transformed into sugar an oxygen‚ which later will be used as energy for the plant. The chemical equation of photosynthesis is:

muscle cells and analyze for presence of myosin light chain. Utilizing Western Blotting techniques and using specific antibodies helped to detect myosin light chain. The hypothesis was that proliferating myoblasts could be induced to initiate the differentiation process by depriving the cells of the necessary growth factors and that the differentiation is characterized by the expression of muscle-specific proteins. The results showed that that myosin light chain was not present. It was concluded that

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

Daphnia Heart Rate Background: In the world today‚ there are many chemicals that people use to fix or help with issues within their own bodies. Some of these chemicals may include things like caffeine‚ nicotine‚ and alcohol. These supplements can have substantial effects on other things within the body like the brain‚ liver‚ and especially the heart. For example‚ many chemicals like caffeine‚ nicotine‚ aspirin‚ and sleep aid all have effects on the body which can cause your heart rate to increase

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to recognize the stages as well as events of mitosis and meiosis in a plant cell or an animal cell. The relative duration of each stage in the cell cycle will also be learned during this lab. By doing this lab we will also create a model of and understand the process of crossing over. This lab also helps students understand the similarities along with differences between mitosis and meiosis. Purpose The objectives of the lab were to help give us a better

The purpose of this lab is to show how to calculate the average speed and acceleration in six different races. In order to find average speed you will need to use the formula s=d/t (s= speed‚ d=distance‚ t=time). On the other hand‚ for accelaration you will use the formula a= vf-vi/t (a=acceleration‚ vf=final velocity‚ vi= initial velocity‚ t=time). Average speed is how fast something is moving; the path distanced moved per time. Acceleration is the rate of which velocity is changing

Determination of a Rate Law Megan Gilleland 10.11.2012 Dr. Charles J. Horn Abstract: This two part experiment is designed to determine the rate law of the following reaction‚ 2I-(aq) + H2O2(aq) + 2H+I2(aq) + 2H2O(L)‚ and to then determine if a change in temperature has an effect on that rate of this reaction. It was found that the reaction rate=k[I-]^1[H2O2+]^1‚ and the experimental activation energy is 60.62 KJ/mol. Introduction The rate of a chemical reaction often
