experiment because they represent the human body in that they both go through all of the same processes of growth and development. This lab uses lima beans in order to determine whether they were viable or not. If a bean is viable‚ it means that it is alive: able to grow and develop. The two ways to find out whether a bean is viable or not‚ are a tetrazolium test and germination test. Tetrazolium is a chemical that turns red in the presence of hydrogen ions. All living organisms release hydrogen ions every

Zach Sexton December 4‚ 2014 Bot 121 Lab Coleus Lab Report 1. A cutting can form an entire new plant if cutting being used has a meristem. If the cutting has no meristem‚ mitosis will not occur and you will end up with a dead piece of plant material. In order to successfully grow a new plant through a cutting‚ your plant must have adventitious root growth which in order to deliver water and nutrients to the plant. Adventitious roots are created through cell potency where cells differentiate. The

EXPERIMENT NO. 1 INTRODUCTION TO LAB INSTRUMENTS. 1. BREADBOARD We should be familiar to the following things about a breadboard: * What is a breadboard and what is it used for? * How does it work? * Setting Up. * Limitations. What is a breadboard and what is it used for? A breadboard (or protoboard) is usually a construction base for prototyping of electronics. The term "breadboard" is commonly used to refer to a solderless breadboard (plugboard). It was designed by

free-floating seed bearing plant. (aquaplant.com) Duckweed is known to take over the source of water it is in‚ in little time. It is forceful and can mix with other plants. The bodies of water that duckweed is mostly found in do not have waves or a strong current. They are typically only in still bodies of water although they can be found elsewhere. They are found around the globe and are the smallest flowering plant. (mobot) The population growth of duckweed is unlimited per the lab manual.(Bluedoor)

INTRODUCTION There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from the knowing the causative agent of a disease to knowing the correct microorganism in order to make antibiotics. This study was done by applying the following methods; OF Glucose‚ Indole Production‚ and Malonate Utilization test for the identification of an unknown bacterium. The methods will assist in determining the unknown bacterium found in a 55 year old male that was passing blood and mucous

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

LAB FIVE CELL RESPIRATION INTRODUCTION Aerobic cellular respiration is the release of energy from organic compound from organic compounds by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Cellular respiration involves a series of enzyme-mediated reactions. The equation below shows the complete oxidation of glucose. Oxygen is required for this energy-releasing process

The dandelion population will probably grow. Eventually‚ dandelions might take over the lawn. 3a. A population grows exponentially when it has all of the resources it needs and disease and predation do not occur. 3b. Exponential growth shows a “J shaped” curve because with each generation‚ the number
