In this lab‚ we extracted spinach pigments‚ and analyzed what colors of light these pigments absorb. By using TLC plate‚ hexane and acetone‚ I separated the pigments of spinach‚ and discovered that the main pigments were green and yellow. This works because with different polarities‚ pigments move at different rates. Hexane and acetone were also used to separate chlorophyll and carotene from spinach. Since they are polar‚ they can separate organic and inorganic things. From the experiment‚ I know

Sedimentator Lab Introduction: in this lab we will be working with a sedimentator to observe and classify sediments. A sediment is naturally-occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion‚ and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind‚ water‚ or ice. Side One Purpose: to observe and classify sediments Part I 1. Gently shake the sedimentator to loosen the sediments and lay the sedimentator on its side 2. Observe the water

Table 8.1- Combustion of magnesium ribbon Observations Reaction was exothermic; magnesium ribbon burned and was glowing a bright white color when ignited. Reactants: Mg and O2 Products: MgO Balanced chemical equation 2Mg + O2 2MgO Table 8.2- Combustion of heptane Observations When holding test tube inverted over heptane flame‚ condensation formed against top walls of the test tube. When the burning splint was added the walls of the test tube became less foggy from the condensation

Procedures: In the first lab‚ seven test tubes were attained and six of them were filled with the solutions that were listed (Na Pyruvate‚ MgSO4‚ NaF‚ Glucose‚ Water‚ and yeast suspension). The last test tube was filled with water. After they were filled with the solutions they were incubated at 37 degrees Celsius for about forty minutes. After the forty minutes passed take the test tubes and measure the height of the bubbles that formed in millimeters. For the second lab‚ attain three beakers‚

Genetically Modified Organisms INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this lab was to identify if non-labeled food products are actually genetically modified foods. Before we could begin testing this theory we first had to gain an understanding about genetically modified organisms in general. This was rather easy because if you have been to any grocery store lately you have without a doubt seen products with labels saying "GMO-free" or even "contains only non-GMO ingredients." GMO actually stands for

Egg Lab Report Introduction: An egg is a model of a human because the egg has a cell membrane like humans do inside and outside of the body that let things pass through like water. We can use eggs to study the effect of changes in the external environment on the internal environment by having harsh environments like putting the egg in only alcohol and see what happens to the inside of the egg. Diffusion is the movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more to a less concentrated

The pGLO lab is a lab where students attempt to put the genes that make a jelly fish glow into E. Coli. After a process called transformation‚ the process in which a cell takes up and expresses a new piece of genetic information‚ the E. Coli will be able to glow and will be antibiotic resistant. The students first need to learn a couple of techniques before they are able to begin this lab. The first technique they will need is how to keep their environment sterile. They must learn to only open their
Premium Bacteria Microbiology Gram staining
Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each
