Introduction The leafy part of the Camote plant is familiarly known as the Kamote tops or Talbos ng Kamote, in Tagalog. Camote leaves are usually used as vegetables in some traditional Filipino cuisines. The antioxidants present in a Camote plant are believed to be mostly found within its leaves. Camote tops’ vitamins and minerals help…

Abstractions The aim of this lab was to analyze and prove the sordaria fimicola fungus crossing over by finding what colour it will give during miosis ; a cross over that will be between the wild type and the mutant allelomorphs. My hypothesis for this experiment is that all the mutant allelomorph will look in…

ABSTRACT: The experiment investigated the effects of two separate variables on the productivity of lactase enzyme. The variables tested were the concentration of o-nitrophenol (ONP) and the pH of the solution. The experiment involved measuring the light absorbance levels of different solutions with varying ONP concentrations. Additionally, three different pH values (5, 6, and 7)…

Yeast is a singled celled fungus that contains protein and is part of the fermentation process. As explained in question nine, fermentation is the process of the breakdown of sugars by bacteria and yeast using a method of respiration without oxygen (anaerobic respiration). It involves a culture of yeast and a solution of sugar, producing…

Alcohol Alcohol (when used commonly refers to ethanol) is consumed widely around the world for numerous reasons. Its properties have been both praised and demonized. In humans it generally acts as a depressant with, conversely, mild stimulating effects of some parts of the brain. At low levels of consumption alcohol has minimal effects on a…

Questions: The main goal of a differential stain is to distinguish between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by utilizing distinct colors. Gram-positive bacteria will appear purple when stained, whereas gram-negative bacteria will appear pink. In contrast, a simple stain treats all microorganisms equally and enhances contrast. The key distinction between these staining techniques lies in their…

Importance of stereoisomers in a biological system Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same sequence of bonded atoms, but they differ in their three dimensional orientation in space. [pic] shown above is an example of the two types of Stereoisomers; Enantiomers, which…

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) The eyewash fountain is used to rinse chemical splashes off the eyes. They are used by rinsing the eyes 15 to 30 minutes with water. b. Fire Blanket (2…

6 Abstract: This experiment attempts to answer the question of whether an increase in a succinate concentration (a component of the Krebs cycle) will lead to an increased rate of cellular respiration within a cell. We measured the amount of electrons given off by the succinate to fumerate redox reaction by using DPIP. DPIP is…

Grace Masters Woodlice Behavior Experiment Aim: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the behavior of woodlice (Porcellio scaber) in regards to their change in speed. Variables: VariableHow can it be controlled? (IV) – Light intensity – The light intensity will be controlled by the knob on the lamp throughout the experiment. In addition,…
