    The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population, and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining life, when changing the beak size to a much larger size we will see that the finch will have no need for further evolution of its beak and that its population will become much more stable and consistent throughout the years.…

    When the drop of detergent is added to the powdered surface, the initial effect is to draw the powder back to the edges very rapidly as the detergent molecules form their own surface layer with a lower surface tension than the water. As the detergent gradually mixes with the water, the powder begins to sink, and a needle will now pass through the surface with ease under its own weight. However, the calcium and magnesium salts of many detergent molecules are soluble, so detergents still lower the surface tension of hard water…

    Introduction: In order to survive, organisms need reactions to occur at a certain time and place. Enzymes make these reactions happen. Enzymes are highly specific causing only one enzyme to catalyze one reaction. “Induced fit” explains why enzymes act this certain way. An enzyme will surround a certain substrate and form to it for the reaction to occur in the active site. If it doesn’t form to it, the reaction will not occur. The first enzyme being used, beta-galactosidase, is an active ingredient in Lactaid. Lactaid helps break down lactose. The second enzyme being used, alpha-galactosidase, is an active ingredient in Beano which catalyzes the breaking down of melibiose. Melibiose and lactose are both disaccharides composed of two simple sugars galactose and glucose. So, can Lactaid break down melibiose as well as lactose (the substrate it is specific to) or Beano break down lactose as well as melibiose (the substrate it is specific to)? How specific are the two? If a reaction is catalyzed, the tertiary structure of the enzyme fit the substrate and bound to the substrate. If the structure doesn’t fit, the reaction will not be catalyzed. (Preszler, 2011)…

    Cell Division Lab Report

    4.I believe that our observations are repressentative of cell division taking place in the oinon root tip. Firstly, this is because our numbers of the number of cells in each phase of mitosis are similar to the rest of the groups, so we can assume our results are most likely correct. We can also assume our calculations are right because we know that Interphase is the most active phase in the process of cell divison, which would agree with our calculations since we assume that approxiamtly 93% of cells are going though Interphase. The phases of mitosis are much shorter then that of Interphase, and the cell spends less time in these phases. This agrees with our calculations because they run around 2-10%, conculding the fact that it is right to infere that a smaller amount of cells would be in the phases of mitosis.…
