Multicellular organism

Introduction Our world is composed of many bacteria that can either help or destroy us. Therefore, its’s imperative to learn and study them. The purpose of the lab was to put into action the methods learned in the laboratory to determine our unknown bacteria. Bacteria can have different features, shapes, and or arrangements that help microbiologist differentiate them. Bacteria can be classified as Gram positive or negative (difference in cell wall), with the help of the Gam stain (“Gram…

INTRODUCTION When it comes to Biology, one of the most well known, and interesting topics within the science is DNA and genetics. Although DNA is typically used in agarose gel electrophoresis, it was not provided for this lab, so the use of three different dyes had to make do. A null hypothesis was created indicating that dyes with a lighter molecular weight would not pass through the agarose gel easier than those with a heavier molecular weight. Where as the alternate hypothesis stated that,…

Biotechnology is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of micro-organisms for the production of antibiotics, hormones and more or any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use (United Nations, 2012). Will the application of biotechnology in gene therapy be the solution for people that suffer from Chronic…

I was in Corn Group A for our posters we presented before Fall break. The two disease topics we covered in corn was Goss’s Wilt and Root Rot Pythium. Impact: Between Goss’s Wilt and Root Rot Pythium I believe the Root Rot Pythium has a much greater impact on a Corn plant. There is a much greater impact because the time of infection is at a much earlier time when the plant is just a seedling and has a slim chance of fighting off the necrotrophic disease. When Pythium attacks the seeding through…

Name:Neko Science Fair Paper Daphnia Magna are small water fleas that are native to Minnesota. They are an indicator of good water quality ( Science buddies,2010 ). Daphnia Magna are small enough to be eaten by dragonflies, and are food for many small to medium sized fish. The reason that we should be paying attention to Daphnia Magna is because of pollution in our lakes. This pollution can affect a lot of actions that we do in our daily lives. Pollution can lead to mutations in fish, frogs…

species of dinosaurs. Lastly, the embryo that develop as a result of the division of cells needs to be inserted into the eggs since the dinosaurs were born through eggs. The plastic egg created in the Jurassic Park movie cannot perfectly work as every organism has…

Microbes of the infected root canal system Historically, the most wide-spread method for detecting and characterizing bacteria has been by culturing. Culturing bacteria allows the analysis of their morphology, virulence, gram-staining pattern, the quantization of viable microorganisms, as well as the testing of their susceptibility to antibiotics. Consequently, this method may not allow normally viable bacteria to cultivate as the selected culturing media may not have the nutritional and…

with gram-staining the organism. After viewing beneath a light microscope, the unknown showed pink rods, proving to be gram-negative. The observation of motility was made by viewing the bacteria moving towards a specific direction. The next tests utilized in determining the unknown was oxidation tests such as oxidase, catalase and nitrate reduction tests. The most pertinent of these tests in the identification process was the oxidase test which was negative, meaning the organism is a…

1.Describe the characteristics of your specimens that could be use used for descriptive science or hypothesis testing. An ant has been examined under the microscope and it has been found that this type of ants has the main parts the head, thorax, and abdomen. All six legs is branches from the thorax part. Ants usually classified depending on the number of nodes, the part that connects the thorax to the abdomen, there is one-node ants and two-node ants. The body of the ant is mostly empty and (…

Mohammad Neaz SCC 101, 115A Dr. Jennifer Vance 6/5/17 Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically modified organisms, more commonly known as GMOs is the process where genes from the DNA of one organism are taken and unnaturally forced into a completely different organism, whether a plant or even an animal. The genes being relocated into another organism possibly derive from animals, viruses, bacteria, insects, and humans. This process is done in a laboratory mostly in regards to foods and…
