Abstract In the lab we examined the effects of tobacco smoke on mollusc gill cilia. To conduct this lab a cigarette with a filter was used and a cigarette without a filter was used to determine which ones affected the mollusc gill cilia in a negative way. It was hypothesized that the cigarette without the filter would slow the movement of the cilia down and we could determine this by counting the BPM (beats per minute). While we did use filtered and non-filtered cigarettes we also had a control

Beta Vulgaris, better known as the beet plant contains a red pigment known as betalain in the vacuole of the cell. If the membrane of a beetroot cell is manipulated, it will burst and betalain will be released. Detergents and soaps can affect the amount of betalain released from the cell depending on the concentration of the detergents in the water because they contain ingredients that break down the fatty membrane of the cell. In this experiment, the permeability of a beet cell membrane will be

1. Make a hypothesis about which color in the visible spectrum causes the most plant growth and which color in the visible spectrum causes the least plant growth? If the different light colors affect the plants' growth then the most absorbed colors result in the most growth and the least absorbed ones will cause the least plant growth. 2. How did you test your hypothesis? Which variables did you control in your experiment and which variable did you change in order to compare your growth results

Scientific Report Name: Joh Sturdy Title: To investigate the effect of exercise on breathing. Aim: The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of exercise on the respiratory system Introduction: During exercise, our muscle cells respire more than when we are resting. Exercise is carried out by increasing the respiration rate and the heart rate. (BBC Bitesize 2014) Exercise occurs when the muscles contract and relax which create movement

Figure 1: Agarose Gel Electrophoresis depicting the PCR product and genomic DNA of fruit flies This agarose gel image was used to visualized the DNA sequence that was isolated from the fruit flies. Agarose Gel Electrophoresis results from Section 3 Bench 5. EGFR was used as the primer RTK gene for this set and sequence. This is the PCR product. Lane 1, ladder; Lane 2, Genomic DNA and it contains the long streak of DNA; Lane 3, Uncut Plasmid; Lane 4, Linear Plasmid that was digested by EcoRI at 3kb;

Looking for a rectum without evidence that the rectum is there is the main source of complications in this approach. The urethra, vas deferens, prostate, and seminal vesicles will be found there and this will damage the nerves important for urinary control and sexual potency. The posterior rectal wall is easily identified by it has a whitish appearance. The surgeon should keep in mind that there is a fascia that covers the rectum posterior and laterally that must be removed. The dissection of the

Fetal examination of hydrocephalus Abstract: Introduction (500) Prenatal detection and diagnosis of hydrocephalus In this chapter, the discussion will mainly focus on answering three questions; how is fetal hydrocephalus diagnosed? Or in other words, what methods are used?, What is the rationale for using them? What are the clinical implications to detecting fetal hydrocephalus? Ultrasonography (US) Introduction The earliest recorded implementation of ultrasonography in identifying fetal

Firstly, this will shorten the diagnostic time and allow for treatment options to be considered with less delay by eliminating the need for lab work that may require several hours. Secondly, the low price of the test will make it more acceptable in the limited lab resource facility. Additional tests can be incorporated to increase the accuracy and the diagnostic ability of the test. These tests may serve to determine the cause of the effusion once
