In experiment 1 there were five cuvettes of decreasing concentrations from the initial 0.01 mg/ml concentration of Fast Green solution (cuvette 1). The diluted concentration of cuvettes #2 through #5 were calculated using the dilution formula, C1V1 = C2V2 ; the calculations for the dilute concentrations are in Results section. The concentration for each tube were as follows: 0.015 mg/ml for tube 1, 0.0075 mg/ml for tube 2, 0.00375 mg/ml for tube 3, 0.001875 mg/ml for tube 4, and 0.000935 mg/ml…
Finding species-specific markers within the genomes of organisms has proven to be an important practice in determining the dividing lines between species. Much of the subject of molecular genetics involves the determination of ancestry as well as common ancestry between species. Using molecular genetics, the concept of phylogenetic species has proven to be one of the more effective methods of differentiating between the species. For example, while other species classifier methods have had…

However, one must understand…
Chlorophyll can be found in chloroplasts of plants, algae, and various bacteria. Its green pigment helps the cells of these organisms perform photosynthesis. The solar cells mimic photosynthesis, which can potentially produce energy (Jenner, 2005). Photosynthesis occurs when light hits organism’s chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are small green molecules in the organism’s cells. The energy from the light is then absorbed by the…
eukaryotes and prokaryotes share. They both have a cell wall also. In difference, eukaryotes contain mitochondria, which creates energy from taking nutrients and breaking them down, a nucleus, which contains the genetic material of the cell, and chloroplasts, which convert light energy to sugar. Prokaryotes have a bacterial flagellum, that eukaryotes don’t. The flagellum helps the prokaryotic cell…
The project that choose to do was a softball field how I am going to make this project is by having the, Nucleus be in charge of the manger for the softball field and if the manager left then we would have nobody in charge because tectonically we don’t need a manger for that time period of the games because everyone would be doing there own thing at their field so we really don’t need a manager at the field.The Mitochondria will be in control of the lights so that when it gets dark the lights…
Dear Haverford's Office of Admission and Vice President Jess H. Lord, I am a waitlisted applicant for the class of 2021. I am writing this letter to express my continued and enthusiastic interest in Haverford College. The college is my first choice; its academics, faculty, and opportunities for growth are unparalleled. Those factors drew me to Haverford as soon as I began considering colleges. Haverford College's Quaker heritage instills values of peace, integrity, and equality— values that I…
The simple definition of Eukaryotes is that they are any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles. Taxonomically, Eukaryotes belong to the taxon Eukarya. The three types of eukaryotic microbes are fungi, protozoa, and algae. Because the three types of eukaryotic microbes are all composed of eukaryotic cells, they have basic similarities in cellular structure, including the presence of a nucleus. However, these types of microbes do differ in many significant…
In this assignment I am going to identify the factors which can limit the rate of photosynthesis. There are three main limiting factors to identify these are: •Light intensity •Carbon dioxide concentration •Temperature The photosynthesis process uses more than one factor to achieve maximum capability. " Its rate is limited by the factor which is closest to it minimum value" Pass My Exams. Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. Available: http://www.passmyexams.co.uk/GCSE/b…
is a process plants undergo that uses water and carbon dioxide gas in the presence of light energy to produce glucose and oxygen gas. This is represented by the formula: 6CO2 + 12 H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O. Photosynthesis happens within the chloroplasts of…
