Seed Lab Report

Improved Essays
In conclusion, in this lab, we are trying to find how different beak types influence the amount of seeds they collect and how different seed types influence the amount of seeds the beak collects. My hypothesize is that the largest beak (binder clip) will collect the most amount of seeds because there would be more space. The data doesn’t support/support my hypothesis since the relationship between the variables is inconclusive. For instance, the data shows that the clothespin “beak” from the insula maxima region and the binder clip “beak” from the insula minima region collected the most amount of seeds in their respective regions. Since the most number of seeds isn’t from one specific “beak”, my hypothesis is inconclusive. The results show that in the insula maxima region, the forceps “beaks” collected an average of 8.167 seeds, the binder clip “beaks” collected an average of 27 seeds, the clothespin “beaks” collected an average of 28.5 seeds and the hair clip “beaks” collected an average of 21 seeds. The data shows that the clothespin collected the most averaged number of seeds and collected approximately 3.5 times more seeds than the forceps.

    The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations.…

    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.…

    An experiment was taken that used corn and if the depth of the planting affected how many bushels grew. Seeds were planted ½ inch below, 1 inch below, 2 inches, and 3 inches. According to the Demonstrative Report, 2008, corn that was planted 2-3 inches below the surface had the best results and seeds just ½ inch below had the worst. This is a little different from the experiment being tested today. The experiment being tested is when you plant Alaskan Pea seeds deeper will they grow the same height just as much as the seeds just below the surface of the soil.…

    Purpose: The overall goal of this lab was to perform a procedure on E. Coli which involved transferring genes that encoded for the green fluorescent protein into E. Coli to see if the transferred genes would make a difference on the growth and whether or not the bacteria would glow under UV light. Hypothesis: If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then the bacteria will grow but not glow under UV light. If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB, ampicillin, and arabinose then it will be able to grow and glow under UV light. If the bacteria without pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then it will not be able to grow or glow under UV light.…

    The independent variable in this lab was the different bones with took from the pellet and analyzed. The dependent variable was the types of animals we found out the owl had eaten based the analysis of the bones. My results supported my hypothesis. I found different types of bones and then after I analyzed them I found what kind of animal the owl had eaten. I found out that the owl pellet that I had contained bones from a mole, bird, shrew, and a rodent.…

    Over three days, we tested what would happen to an egg after leaving in various liquids over a 24-hour period. Before letting the egg submerge in vinegar overnight the initial weight of the egg was 66.6 grams. We thought that after leaving the egg in vinegar the shell of the egg would get softer. The independent variable is the vinegar and the dependent variable is the egg. We believed that the egg would be softer; because we saw the vinegar bubble once we put the egg in it.…

    Introduction Plants use both sodium and chloride to aid in normal function. Sodium is not essential in most plants, it can be used in small amounts as a micronutrient; partially replace potassium in some plants, aid in operation of stomata, and increase the plants ability to absorb water. In large amounts, typically above fifty parts per million, sodium toxicity occurs, resulting in necrosis which may kill the plant; sodium deficiency poses no threat to the plant as it is not an essential element. Chloride is a micronutrient, essential in most plants assisting in metabolic processes, photosynthesis, and osmosis. Chloride toxicity normally occurs at about seventy parts per million and leads to necrosis; chloride deficiency occurs at less than two parts per million and can cause necrosis…

    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.…

Generally, to test the property change in the polymer by the influence of a filler/additive is done by processing several batches with different but gradual loading of the filler/additive. Here, we have to test the properties of nano Calcium Carbonate in the polymer matrix of polypropylene. For this, 12 batches are prepared by using the different size of filler by loading it at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by ratio in the polymer matrix.…
