Conodoguinet Creek Lab Report

Improved Essays
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. The dissolved oxygen level is very high, up to 12. This is healthy for the marine animals because they can breath in the dissolved oxygen in the water. You can also infer that the dissolved oxygen is high by observing the velocity of the

    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.…

    Abstract This experiment was a study of the different properties of a lipid bilayer. We used fluorescent microscopy to study the lateral diffusion of lipids and binding properties biotin and anti-biotin. The effect cholesterol has on the fluidity of the membrane was tested using Fluorescent Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP). We used a Nikon Eclipse 50i upright fluorescent microscope with a Digital Sight DM-2MBW CCD camera to take images of the bilayer after photobleaching.…

    With this experiment intend to prove Salem Lakes ability to buffer chemicals used in the water treatment process versus that of the Yadkin River. Using a jar test machine, simulated the addition of an acid in the form of Al2SO4, and a base NaOH to the coagulation process. Salem Lake does show a preferred buffering at higher acid doses, though Yadkin River is more efficient at the low to mid-range dose. INTRODUCTION There is a distinct difference in the buffering capacity of Salem Lake versus Yadkin River.…

    Pollution can lead to mutations in fish, frogs and other animals that live in water. This can affect our food supply as well as the quality of the food we eat. Another reason recognizing pollution in lakes is a good idea is that it is the first step in reducing pollution in lakes. In the beginning of this project I was looking for a way to measure water quality with…

    This data doesn’t support my hypothesis that If we measure farther into the center of the creek then the surface water will travel faster. This data will help us in confirming that despite the amount of pollution in the area that the Conodoguinet creek is not polluted. The test that we performed were as follows Nitrates, Phosphates, Dissolved oxygen, alkalinity, and pH. All these test came back with the results that lead to my conclusion that the Conodoguinet creek. In conclusion, the Conodoguinet creek is a very healthy…

    The purpose of the stream table investigation was to investigate the variables that influence erosion rates in a stream. Sediments that were eroded at or near Linganore High School end up in the Chesapeake Bay. Sediments eroded from rocks in Linganore Creek and are carried to the Monocacy River. From there, the sediments are taken to the Potomac River. The Potomac River’s water and anything loose in it are dispensed into the Chesapeake Bay.…

    Referring to the profile of each individual transect it is evident that an abiotic factor affecting the entire ecosystem was the dumping of litter; as there was more than one-hundred pieces of litter in only the groups specified transects. More specifically, a disturbing abiotic factor affecting the geology of the soil and quality of the water was an oil spill that was noted to have emerged from the closest storm drain to its collection site (refer to annotated map). Additional oil residue was sited further down the creek which was surrounding two pipes that connected to the back of a local residents. The reasons for these pipes are unknown but sceptically thinking, the local residents are either putting waste product from their house to the creek or are taking the creek water for personal use.…

    By adding Hydrochloric acid into solid Magnesium, in Data table #2, when Hydrochloric acid was first been added to solid Magnesium, the ribbon immediately start to bubble and producing fumes at the same time with a burning sound. Magnesium start to turn into a white liquid form. After the bubble start to disappear, more Hydrochloric acid was added, and the reactions repeats. Until none of the shiny silver Magnesium ribbon can be seen, and there is no more bubble, the reaction is over.…

    Dissolved oxygen shows the amount of oxygen present in the water. To see if the water quality improved, the dissolved oxygen should increase. When dissolved oxygen levels decrease the animals have a harder time getting the oxygen needed to survive. The animals that live in the Bay need a dissolved oxygen concentration of 5.0 mg/L or better to live. Having a high amount of dissolved oxygen shows that there are green plants living and going through photosynthesis which all living organisms in the water need to…
