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.…

R.C. 5.9 Mathematics (Mobile Infant) Activity: “Stack Them Up” Materials: Stacking blocks, nesting cups, measuring cups Infants are continually growing in all areas of development. In this activity, the goal is to get the infant to stack their blocks or cups. The teacher would have the child sit on the floor or at a table with their toys.…
Students are engaged in a scientific investigation of tri-colored (Indian) corn and the effects of soaking it in water. The students began the investigation recording observations regarding the dried corn. Subsequetly, the students made predictions regarding the effect of soaking the dried corn in water. The dried corn was placed in water. Students will record their observations every five days.…
L.B. Agar Lysogeny broth (LB), a nutritionally rich medium, is primarily used for the growth of bacteria. The abbreviation is commonly taken to mean Luria broth, Lennox broth, or Luria-Bertani medium. According to its creator Giuseppe Bertani, the abbreviation LB was actually intended to stand for lysogeny broth (1). The formula of the LB medium was published in 1951 and continues to be the most common media used today (2). There are several common formulas of LB.…
This lab was very helpful because it taught several important procedures needed in many fields. Basically, this lab taught us the proper general protocol to use to obtain and grow the microorganisms we took from the inside of the human mouth. It taught us how to properly stain and mount the samples we grew. Of course it taught us how to view our stained specimen under a light microscope. Grow the microorganisms we obtained was the first part of the lab.…
The sunflower seeds of 500 mg served as the pre-treatment for treatment group 2 group with five (5) rats and 1000 mg for treatment group 3 with five (5) rats while the control group with 5 rats did not undergo pre-treatment of sunflower seeds. The pre-treatment of sunflower seeds was given orally to the rats; treatment group 2 was given 500 mg of sunflower seeds orally to each rat while treatment group 3 was given 1000mg of sunflower seeds orally to each rat. The rats were trained to eat the sunflower seeds for three days before the experiment. The experiment started by dissolving 100 grams of carrageenan powder in 100 ml of hot tap water and was stirred for about 20 minutes until it thickened and became a gel like solution. The five (5) rats…
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the stoichiometry of the reaction between a nitrate salt and potassium salt. This will be done by utilizing the equilibrium, the ICE method, and the equilibrium constant expression. In order to complete this, a nitrate salt and a potassium salt will be mixed. By using the values obtained during the experiment, it was determined that the first hypothesis was the correct one. The first hypothesis stated that M + L ML.…
1. 4 agar plates were poured several days ahead in preparation for this experiment. They were stored in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator until ready to use. 2. To perform this experiment are the: cultures of E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and S. epidermidis, three plastic inoculation loops, candle and lighter, three poured nutrient agar plates, a disposable cup, alcohol, paper towels, bleach, a permanent marker, gloves, mask, apron, and goggles.…
Nutrient profiling is the science of classifying or ranking foods according to their nutritional composition for reasons related to preventing disease and promoting health. Nutrient profiling can be used for various applications, including marketing of foods to children, health and nutrition claims, product labelling logos or symbols, information and education, provision of food to public institutions, and the use of economic tools to orient food…
Each of extracts and theirs pure compunds will weigh out 0.035 grams and will be dissolve with the 96% of ethanol. The disk was soak into the extract and then placed on the nutrient agar prepared. Then all the petri dish are placed in the incubator. The diameter of the ring appears on the nutrient agar was measured to determine the antimicrobial activity of each plant extract after 16 to 20…
Quantification of Iron in Whole Grain Cereal Jacob Rickman and Yasmeen Coan Submitted to: Curt Zanelotti CHEM 1045, Experiment No. 12, April 15, 2016 LABORATORY WRITTEN REPORT Honor Code Signature: _________________ Objective In this experiment, we gained an understanding of the relationship between chemistry and food products while developing and enhancing good lab techniques. We applied dilution concepts to carry out the experiment.…
Symmetry Writing Exercise Paragraph 1 The research paper written by J. Haines, O. Cambon and S. Hull aims to understand how Iron III phosphate (FEPO4) behaves under high temperatures and at which temperature would we start to observe structural transition of Iron III phosphate. As found by the researchers, the temperature where one is able to witness a structural change of Iron III phosphate, a transition from α-β would be at the temperature of 980K. As the researchers have highlighted, there have been substantial high temperatures experiments done on isotopes (AIPO4) and Quartz (SiO4). However there is a lack of experiments and information of how FEPO4 behaves under high temperature conditions.…
In experiment 2.1, absorbance readings for both heated and unheated corn and tapioca starch were taken. For both starch’s the heated results came to be much higher then the un-heated as seen in Table 2.1. Iodine reacts with the amylose compound in starch where it gets trapped in the amylose coils and blue-ish colour is formed after the addition of Lugols reagent (Fennema and others 2008). The absorbance readings came out higher for heated corn starch because iodine had more amylose to react with. As corn-starch is heated gelatinization occurs where amylose is released since the starch granule is disrupted.…
