Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine which pigments in a plant support or effect photosynthesis‚ based on starch production‚ which wavelengths of light are involved in photosynthesis‚ and identify plant pigments found in a plant leaf by means of paper chromatography. Life on Earth is dependent entirely on the energy from the Sun‚ not only to keep the planet at a suitable temperature but also to provide the energy required to sustain life. The energy of the Sun‚ in the form of

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

Somatosensation Lab Using Two Point Thresholds Alex Mendelson 2/24/2014 Two Point Thresholds This week in Sensation and Perception Lab we performed a lab that measured an individual’s somatosensation‚ which is their sense of touch. In order to measure the sense of touch we manipulated the thresholds of sensation by using the two point threshold procedure. The two point threshold procedure measures the smallest distance of two separate but adjacent points of stimulation on the

Also list any precautions one should take with the chemicals being used. Give a brief overview of the procedural steps (others must be able to follow) Data: Place any measured values or observations made during the lab in this section. Include any known values that were looked up (don’t forget a reference for them)

I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to determine the molecular mass of a volatile liquid. II. Procedure • Place a cork with a small hole in it inside of a test tube and find the weight of the two together using a sensitive balance. • Pour 0.5 mL of the unknown volatile liquid into the test tube‚ insert the cork‚ and place the tube into boiling hot water while keeping the cork above water level. As the gas evaporates‚ excess gas will be released throughout the whole in the cork. Keep the test

chromate formed a yellow coloured solution and when base was added‚ the solution turned into a bright yellow colour. This was difficult to observe as the colour change was very subtle‚ however‚ interpretation was manageable as pH paper was used to find when the addition of base should be stopped. Chromium oxide green was synthesized from the reaction between potassium dichromate and sulfur. The reaction involved heat thus‚ sulfur dioxide gas was released and colour change was observed from bright

4/9/02 Effects of Salts on the Freezing Point of Water In this experiment‚ you will study the effect that several solutes have on the Freezing Point of water. When a solute is dissolved in a liquid‚ the temperature at which that liquid freezes decreases‚ because the molecules of the solute become attached to the water molecules‚ making it more difficult for the water to form its crystaline shape and form into ice. This process is called Freezing Point Depression. In this experiment‚ you will

Molecular Biology Lab Report Mapping DNA using Restriction Enzymes Ava II and Pvu II to cut Bacterial DNA Abstract The objective of this project is to map bacterial DNA‚ which is derived from E. coli‚ using restriction endonucleases with gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments‚ after cutting has occurred‚ are separated using agarose gel electrophoresis. The DNA fragments are placed in the gel‚ and an electric current is run through the matrix of the gel-like agarose. Migration of the fragments
