ABSTRACT Within this experiment, the use of a bomb calorimeter was required in order to determine the heat capacity of the system through the combustion of three separate trials of benzoic acid. The resulting heat capacity values for each trial were averaged, with a standard deviation found as well. This was then used to work backwards, for a naphthalene trial, in order to calculate the change in energy (∆U) and the change of enthalpy (∆H). The accepted value for the change in enthalpy of…
agent? The name of the substance that led to the demise of Georgi Markov was ricin. During an autopsy, a section of the skin around Markov’s wound was removed and sent to Dr. David Gall. Within the tissues, Gall found a pellet with tiny holes drilled into it. He assumed that the pellet, containing a lethal substance, had been injected into Markov by a gas…
cells. The postnuclear supernatant fluid is centrifuged at 2200rpm for 30 minutes and a temperature range from zero to four degrees Celsius to acquire the mitochondrial pellet. The postmitochondrial supernatant fluid is discarded, and seven milliliters of mannitol assay medium at room temperature is added to the pellet. The pellet is scraped and mixed with the mannitol to disperse the mitochondrial fraction evenly. Afterwards, the mitochondrial suspension was immediately put on ice to prevent…
thought it was cool, they had no idea the negative side-effects of smoking, you could smoke in an airplane, in buildings, and cars without anyone getting mad. Another social norm was that kids could have toys like realistic looking guns that shoot pellets, they 'aim' the gun, not really of course, at 4-year-old's and other toys like fake cigars. Instead of movie theaters, drive-ins were popular. The norms above are way different from our social norms, not everyone smokes in this generation and…
minutes. Next, cells were washed by suspending the pellet in PBS. 1-10 x 106 cells were transferred into a micro centrifuge tube and were centrifuged at 500 x g for approximately 2 minutes. Using a pipette, the supernatant was disposed, allowing the cell pellet to become dry. Cold CER I was applied to the cell pellet. For the cytoplasmic and nuclear protein extraction portion of the procedure, the first step consisted of suspending the cell pellet by vortexing it at the highest setting. The tube…
The crayfish need an “internal or external canister filter” in their fish tanks to provide the prime environment for growth (Pierce n.d.). A canister filter continuously cleans the water within the tank to maintain the ecosystem for the crayfish. An internal canister filter hangs inside on the glass tank, while an external canister filter hangs outside on the glass tank. These canister filters are the best option for a fish tank because, without them “20-30% of the water” in the fish tank would…
While this poem does speak of a hawk, I do not much experience with them, but it did remind me of the owl experiences that I have had. The first line of “I sit on top of the world, my eyes closed” instantly brings to mind the typical image of an owl and it just so happens that I have an owl who loves to hang in the tree right by my bedroom window every night. While it is very cute an interesting to hear it hoot beautifully, it doesn’t stop when I am ready to go to bed. The phrases in the poem of…
the heat flow meter itself. Bentonite pellets are compacted in an insulated frame which has the following dimension: length and width of 450 millimetres and height of 80 millimetres. The frame is in the machine for 48 hours. [16] b) Thermal probe method In this method a heat source is inserted into the Bentonite pellet and energy is applied continuously at a constant rate. A thermal sensor is used to determine the thermal conductivity of the Bentonite pellet by analysing the temperature gradient…
These pellets where used for after killing rats and insects, but soon later on in the Holocaust, it was used for to kill people. This highly poisonous insecticide would cut off the oxygen to those in the gas chambers. These small tiny pellets killed/suffocated millions of jews and thousands of others. Zyklon B came inside small wide container, a stockpile of it was found in…
In order to look at Ribosomes clearly and discover their function, they need to be separated from the cell and other organelles. Fractionation is the process of breaking the cells. Firstly, the tissue is added to a solution which is ice cold, with the same water potential as the cells, and with the same PH as the cells. This has the purpose of preserving the cells so they do not rot. This solution is then homogenized, this is essentially blending the solution so the cells break open. There are…
