An Experiment of Adaptation Introduction: Throughout history of time, organisms change in relation to their environment, consequently, adaptation is an essential property of life. This experiment is designed to test the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster. This kind of insect is also called fruit flies, it has been widely used in scientific research because it has […]

Introduction The purpose of the flame lab was to identify a set of flame-test color standards for selected metal ions, relate the colors of a flame test to the behavior of excited electrons in a metal ion, observe spectral lines using diffraction grating, and to identify an unknown metal ion by using a flame test. […]

Lab Report Comparing Animal and Plant Cells The cell is the fundamental structural unit of all living organisms. Cells help carry out the functions of life and together support the organism to function as a whole. Cells are divided into two main categories of eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Animal cells and plant cells fall into the […]

This report discusses an experiment that was done to demonstrate the effects of lysozyme on populations of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Bacteria have a cell wall composed of peptidoglycan that gives the wall its strength. Gram negative bacteria have and extra component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), that is stabilized with magnesium ions, to their […]

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to be able to use the freezing point of a substance to find its molecular weight of. To do this, we will use the Logger Pro program to obtain the freezing point of lauric acid and a solution of benzoic acid and lauric acid. Then, we’ll go calculate […]

Written report discussing the purity of my aspirin sample I produced. When I carried out the experiment to produce an aspirin sample I had to take a few results I had gained from carrying out the experiment later used these to work out the experimental error and percentage % yield. The results I used where […]

The lab’s goal is to create profiles for the Tonga Trench and the Peru-Chile Trench using earthquake data. When two tectonic plates converge, a subduction zone forms if one or both of the plates are made up of oceanic lithosphere. Crust at a mid-ocean ridge is hot and buoyant, indicating low density. As it spreads […]
