DNA transformation of escherichia coli using plasmids
Thesis - 3 pages - Biology
During this lab, we performed a transformation of genes from one organism to another, more specifically, added genes to a bacteria. Our results displayed much growth (100+ colonies of small size that did not glow) on the +pGLO LB/amp plate. The +pGLO LB/amp/ara plate experienced growth (100+...
Finding if competition exists among the same or different species, and measuring it
Thesis - 3 pages - Biology
Plant competition is something that is very important to study. Like any other organism, plants must consume resources to survive. With limited resources, those that are most competitive generally receive the most resources, allowing them to survive. This lab investigates just that. Using 14...
Chemical communication lab
Thesis - 3 pages - Physics
Table 1 shows each chemical with their respective ?l, density, molecular weight, and Q values. The ?l is the rate of droplet length change, and the Q value is the emission rate, in molecules per cubic centimeter per second. The densities and molecular weights were given in the lab book (DeLissio,...
Determining the heating value of a fuel
