Bark River Lab Report

Improved Essays
The data taken during this lab shows that the overall water quality of the Bark River is average, and the stream flow rate is acceptable. Most to all things being tested were within the safe ranges, and if there was a test that came out above or below the range, it was an outlier that did not match the other trials of the test. The lowest stream flow rate was 0.064 m/s and the highest was 0.174 m/s. There was a range of about 0.1 m/s. A stream flow rate from 0.064 m/s to 0.174 m/s showed that it was a good flow rate becuase the oxygen was less than 8 mg/L, which is safe. The temperature was about 10 degrees celsius, which is well beneath the dangerous temperature of 35 degrees celsius. There were some sources of error that occured in the

    The process of heat-treating Knife River Flint requires a lot of time, preparation, and materials. The Knife River Flint that was used in this experiment came from Mercer County, North Dakota, which there are five different Knife River Flint Quarries in Mercer County. The three closest quarries to where the Knife River Flint in this experiment was collected are the Crowley Quarries, Medicine Butte, and Dodge Quarry. With the help of Russell Redhorn, a Native American monitor I was working with at the time, we were able to collect a large quantity of Knife River Flint cobbles from an area about eight miles south of Zap, North Dakota.…

    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.…

    The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place within the inner 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.…

    Lab testing for metals, pH, and oxygen levels is done on the water leaving the facility to ensure that there will be no damage done to the river ecosystem when the water is released. However, during times of high rainfall there is an influx of water, and it can cause the facility to flood, causing waste and sludge to contaminate nearby land and water. In these cases, waste may contaminate water sources such as rivers and ponds. Additionally, nearby land could get damaged and require…
