process of meiosis in Sordaria fimicola because of the effects of crossing over and independent assortment that occur in meiosis I. Before performing this experiment we hypothesized that we would be able to see that crossing over did indeed occur in the S. fimicola. We tested our hypothesis by growing our own culture and observing it under a microscope. By counting and recording the types of asci we were able to find that our hypothesis had been correct. This has now led us to know that sexual reproduction

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

10/29/10 Honors Biology Period 12 Chemical Aspects of Life & Spit Lab ABSTRACT: The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also‚ to test the chewed cracker‚ the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar‚ for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on‚ another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab‚ the objectives

Enzymes: Food & Nutrition What are enzymes Enzymes are a type of protein produced by a living organism used to catalyze chemical reactions in cells. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed in order to grow and reproduce. How do enzymes work - in steps 1) Substrate floats near enzyme 2) Substrate and enzyme connect – which breaks it into products 3) Products are released ex) BreadFast & Co.’s use of enzymes The company uses many different

Abstract This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature

Bio Lab Report In part II of the Organic Compounds in Foods lab‚ we to examining whether or not the starch in the saltine cracker can chemically break down in sugar with the presence of salivary amylase‚ which is an enzyme found in your mouth which assists in digestion. My group and I were instructed to obtain a saltine cracker from our teacher and chew on it for approximately 2 minutes. After concluding the chewing‚ we then grabbed a beaker and spit our slimy and chewed cracker into it. Subsequently
