I believe that the fountain drinking water at Kishwaukee College and the water of reverse osmosis will have greater bacteria than the tape water of my friend’s house.
Materials
10 nutrient agar plates
3 sterile 1L bottles
Membrane filter system
Alcohol and Tweezer
Bunsen burner
Method
First, I labeled the 10 agar plates by one negative control, 3 reverse osmosis, 3 fountain drinking water at kishwaukee, and 3 tape water of friend’s house. Filter holders were sterilized for 3 minutes. Fixed the membrane filter and 250ml sample water is placed into upper beaker and applied vacuum pressure, which helped water pass through the membrane filter in the lower beaker. The filter membrane is removed from the holder with sterile tweezer and placed on

    Introduction The goal of this experiment was to determine atomic weight of Kandimonium and the relative number of M&M’s in Kandimonium. Kandimonim is composed of three isotopes: Skittles, M&M’s, and Sweet Tarts, and the ratio of Sweet Tarts to Skittles is 27:18. The relative number of M&M’s and the atomic mass were determined by weighing each of the different Isotopes and calculating their average masses for further calculations.…

    Purpose and Background Cells divide in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is used to produce cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell for growth, asexual reproduction, or repair after injury. Cells that are produced by mitosis are diploid, meaning that they have two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent. Meiosis is used to produce haploid cells that have only one set of chromosomes, a mix of chromosomes from both parents. Meiosis produces cells that are genetically unique from their parent cells.…

    Interactive Question 7.2 Cite some experimental evidence that indicates that membrane proteins drift. A good form of experimental evidence is Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, aka FRAP. In the FRAP process, membrane proteins are labelled with a green fluorescent protein, and part of the plasma membrane is “bleached” with a laser, causing them to lose their fluorescence. The part that was bleached will eventually become fluorescent again, as molecules drift in by diffusion.…

    My hypothesis, if we test the water from the Conodoguinet Creek for signs of pollution, then the results would be negative for the pollution because the water appears clear at most parts of the river, is somewhat correct. Based on our findings, the degrees of pollution of the Conodoguinet Creek are very low. The phosphate levels, phosphate meaning a salt or ester of phosphoric acid (mineral acid), are at most 1. Nitrate is a salt or ester of nitric acid. The levels of nitrate are also very low, up to 1.2.…
