Colorguard is the band's visual interpretation of the music being played through flags, rifles, sabers, and also through dance. I was able to be apart of this group in high school. The experiences I had are ones that are unforgettable .I formed a bond with the people within this group that cannot be broken. There are two seasons for the color guard, which is the marching season, and winter guard.…
For this experiment, unknown sample #12 was used. The first step in identifying any unknown bacterium is to grow a culture on a nutrient agar plate. This bacterium was also plated on a MAC plate, which is both selective for gram-negative bacteria and differential as well. On the NA plate, bright red colonies were present; on the MAC plate there was bacterial growth as well, but no color change was observed. This lack of color change on the MAC plate indicated that the bacteria did not ferment lactose.…
Step 1. Make Drosophila culture medium First, to prepare a culture medium, four plastic vials were obtained and labeled with numbers 1 – 4. In each of the four vials, two teaspoons of medium mixture were added.…
The broth will turn yellow if the microorganism can utilize carbohydrates, and an air bubble will get trapped inside the Durham tube if a gas by-product is produced. All the microorganisms were able to utilize lactose, so the focus will be on their lactose gas production instead. It was observed that the Micrococcus luteus Durham tube had no gas by-product, therefore there is no lactose gas production. It was observed that the Citrobacter freundii Durham tube had a gas by-product, therefore there is lactose gas production. It was observed that the Hafnia alvei Durham tube had no gas by-product, therefore there is no lactose gas production.…
The color guard became a part of the marching band in the late 1940s and 1950s. The rifles we use today in guard are replicas of the drill sergeants M1. Color Guard is a very fun activity that requires lots of skill and motivation, having a riffle, gloves, patience and dedication are very important. There are not many items needed to begin learning how to spin a rifle. The first thing is a rifle itself of coarse one of these is needed.…
During the phase and process of the bacterial unknown project, vast amounts of test were performed in order to determine an unknown species of bacteria. Within the many procedures of identifying the unknown bacteria, I was first given a tube with the unknown bacteria, from which later on I started subcultures by streaking bacteria from the original tube onto a tryptic soy agar (TSA) slant. Throughout the process of identifying the unknown, new subcultures were produced in order to use the newest bacteria to conduct the tests. Thus, this process allowed the unknown bacteria to grow and maintain. Before a series of test were conducted, first a gram stain test was performed in order to determine the unknown’s gram reaction and its cell morphology.…
The first step was to streak the bacterium with a sterilized look onto a Mueller Hinten plate. The MH plate was incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for 48 hours. Upon return and observation, the MH plate did not isolate the colony enough to be able to test the bacterium. The professor then handed an alternate 10 that was a pure culture to streak. It was with a sterilized loop that some of the pure culture was taken out and gram stained as directed by the laboratory manual (1).…
When I first signed up for color guard, I was just following the lead of my older sister who was also doing it. Thinking this was going to be an easy experience I soon realized that it was nothing how I thought it was going to be. By experiencing the practices and how much time and effort goes into it gained a new respect for my sister for sticking with this because honestly, she was known for being lazy. After getting to feel this amazing feeling after my first performance, color guard also became a passion of mine. Color guard is can be found in most middle schools, high schools and universities.…
When I saw the flyer for color guard my eighth-grade year I was perplexed as it didn't specify what color guard was other than an exciting activity that lets you be apart of marching band. I was skeptical that I would actually like color guard but at the first clinic, I knew I had found a family and exciting activity to pursue. Watching the upperclassmen toss rifles, sabers, and flags with such ease and confidence made me excited to learn and achieve that level of confidence. This year will be my fourth year in marching band, I am still in Color Guard and it is easily one of the activities I’m most passionate about. My love to perform on the marching field takes away the anxiety I usually have, throughout the years my confidence has risen…
The first test conducted was Gram staining. In the process of Gram staining, a small amount of the cultured bacteria was fixed on a slide with heat. Next crystal violet was used as the primary stain. After rinsing the primary stain, a mordant, Gram’s iodine, was added. Afterward, the slide was rinsed…
This medium is also selective and differential and very similar to MacConkey Agar. The combination of the two dyes inhibits most gram positive bacteria but allows many gram negative organisms to grow. Colored colonies mean the bacteria is lactose fermenter and colorless colonies means non-lactose fermenter. My results shown in Figure 7 did not change color although you can see where I streak the…
The yeast cultures were disposed. Results In the light reaction Elodea stayed the same color when it was not exposed to light and turned color in the dark.…
Marissa Carter is the founder and CEO of the revolutionary Irish tanning brand, Cocoa Brown Tan. The very successful Irish entrepreneur is just thirty four years old. She is a beauty editor as well as a media contributor who has become widely known and recognised in the beauty industry. The famous Cocoa Brown Tan launched just over 5 years ago, in November 2012. She has since been acknowledged for her innovation and her entrepreneurial success.…
Then I rinse with water over the staining dish. Secondly, I will add Gram iodine (Mordant) for another minute, which then the cells will the form a crystal a complex with crystal violet then rinse off the stain. The third step is to add 95% ethanol 5-10 second if the bacteria are Gram negative it would the cell would look colorless for the and if it is Gram positive the color would remain purple. I did then rinse the 95% ethanol off with out water not too much. Because the water stop bacteria from decolonization and you want to be able to see the bacteria under the microscope.…
FOOD COLORS INTRODUCTION: Through pigments we observe the different colors at each step of our lives, because the pigments can be found in each organism in the world and plants are the main producers. Pigments can be easily found in fruits, vegetables and flowers. It can also be found in skin, eyes and in other complex body parts. Natural and synthetic pigments are used in food, furniture, cosmetics and other products.…
