Lab Report

            Purpose: To understand how cells function and how they are involved in all the characteristics of life. You will see what some cells from a multi-cellular look like under a microscope. You will also compare the organization of cells from organisms.
             Hypothesis: I think all the cells will be different sizes, shapes, and colors.
             Pre-Lab Part A: .
             1. So you only see one cell instead of many on top of each other.
             2. It isn't flat.
             3. Cell wall- protects the cell.
             Plasma membrane- boundary between cell and environment.
             Nucleolus- makes ribosomes.
             Chloroplast- captures light.
             Cytoplasm- clear gelatinous fluid.
             Pre-Lab Part B: .
             1. Shape.
             2. Cell wall and chloroplast.
             3. Iodine.
             4. High Magnification.
             Materials:.
             Onion.
             Prepared plant cell.
             Toothpick.
             Microscope.
             Slide.
             Cover slip.
             Iodine.
             Forceps.
             Salt Solution.
             Paper Towel.
             Procedure:.
             1) Take a paper thin piece of onion off.
             2) Take a small piece off the paper thin piece.
             3) Examine with low and high power then sketch.
             4) Draw it 3-D.
             5) Label parts of the cell.
             6) Use a drop of salt solution and locate the plasma membrane.
             7) Look at plant cell and sketch.
             8) Scrape side of cheek with toothpick, add iodine, then sketch.
             9) Label cell structures.
             Analysis: .
             1. Cell wall.
             2. The plasma membrane is very small and stains the same color as the cell and since they are attached they are very hard to see.
             3. It stained the cell so you could see it better.
             4. Organization.
             Conclusion: My conclusion was partly right. The plant cell had a blue tint, but the other two cells were stained so you really couldn't tell their true colors. All three of the cells were different sizes and shapes though. I learned that all cells have different structures, but some parts can be found in both plant and animal cells. We did make an error in the process of the lab. The salt solution was to weak so we couldn't find and label the plasma membrane. I can learn more on cell types and structures by doing more investigation in the biology textbooks or reading up on cells on the Internet.

1. Lab Report on Density of Water

I. INTRODUCTION This lab contains several mass and volume measurements and to use these measurements to determine the density of water, an unknown liquid and an unknown solid. To find the density of these unknown factors you take their mass and divide it by the volume and that that equals their density. After the measurements are found then determine the precision of the results by calculating the percent error. The purpose of this lab is to determine the density of water, the density of an unknown liquid and the density of an unknown solid. DEFINITIONS Volume- how much space an object takes ...

2. Coulomb Balance Lab Report

Abstract: The goal of the experiment was to demonstrate the fundamental joys known to many a physicist of Coulomb's law through comparative analysis of electrostatic force, potential, and capacitance. We completed this goal by using a torsion balance to measure the properties of such an event. We then completed the analysis to find that after making linear and angular measurements of the separation, that the voltage varied over the spheres depending on the distance in a uniform ration. Theory and Background: If one lesson in electrostatic forces doesnt cover Coulomb's law then you have been se...

3. Lab Report - Calorie Content of Food

Purpose The primary purpose of this lab was to analyze the calorie content of various foods to test. Different food types had different amount of calories within them. This experiment allowed me to analyze the calorie content of food by constructing a basic calorimeter. The different food types that I measured were a form of nut, a marshmallow, and a food of my choice which was a potato chip. Results Data Table 1 (Hands on Lab, 2016) Peanut Marshmallow Potato Mass of the Beaker (g) 51.9 51.9 51.9 Mass of the Water and Beaker Only (g) 101.9 101.9 101.9 Mass of the Water Only (g) 50.0 50.0 50.0 ...

4. Lab Report - Movement of Stentors

Introduction The movements of stentors depend highly on the temperature of the surrounding environment. Stentors are single celled protozoan found in slow moving fresh water (Stentor, 2015). They belong to the class spirotrichea in the phylum Ciliophora (Hickman, 2013). Stentors move and feed by the locomotion caused by cilia (Hickman, 2013). They are ectothermic, which means that the environment temperature determines their body temperature (Stentor, 2015). Our objective for this lab was to study the rate of movement of stentor in contrast with different water temperatures. Therefore, stentor...

6. Ohm's Law Report

Ohm's Law and Parallel Resistive Circuits By Paul DeSoto 10-03-02 lab #2 co-workers: Rusty White Mike Washburn Niranjan Anand ~Procedure During this lab two types of circuits were made using resistors, soderless breadboards, and DC power supplies. The first circuit had one resistor, and a power supply. The resistance was varied by using different valued resistors in the circuit. The resistors used in this lab were 12k, 120k, and 220k ohm resistors. The second type of circuit had two resistors in parallel wiring, and a power supply. The resistance was again varied by using the resistors mentio...

8. Silicon Polymer Lab Report

Abstract The purpose of the lab was to synthesize a silicone polymer by hydrolyzing a chlorosilane. This was demonstrated by the synthesis of the polymer, polydimethylsiloxane, from dimethyldichlorosilane monomers using hydrolysis and cross-linking reactions. The volume of the solution containing polydimethylsiloxane was found to be 16mL before Boric acid was added, which resulted in a 126% yield. After the addition of the Boric acid and subsequent heating at around 120C, a putty like material was the resulting product. It was solid and slightly elastic, it was also slightly grainy likely due ...

10. Lab Report - Fruit Fly Experiment

Introduction For thousands of years, understanding what really happens in the passing of hereditary traits from a generation to the next had been the focus of curiosity. Because of his carefully conducted breeding experiments with pea plants, Gregor Mendel, who is known as the father of genetics, was the first person to discover the basic principles of heredity. One reason Mendel chose to work with peas is that they are available in many varieties with distinct heritable features, or characters such as seed color. Each alternative form of a character, such as green or yellow seeds, is called a...
