MEMO To: Carrie Johnson From: Staff Biologist RE: Bacteria The first step in identifying the mystery organism is to know what kingdom it belongs to. It will belong to one of the following kingdoms: animals, plants, archaebacteria, eubacteria, fungi, or protista. Organisms are placed into these categories based on similarities or common characteristics. Some of the characteristics that are used to determine placement are cell type, metabolism, and reproduction. Examine your living organism and determine if it is a bacteria, achaean or a eukaryote.
Lab Report: “The Unknown” NAME: Donnise Warren PURPOSE: The purpose of this lab report is for students to be able to identify an unknown bacterium given to us by doing a variety of lab procedures and biochemical lab test to help identify what specific bacteria we have. INTRODUCTION: There are many reasons for knowing the identify of microorganisms. Such as knowing the causative agent of a disease that a patient may acquire, so that you would know how it could be treated, to knowing which microorganisms could be used for making antibiotics or even food. This lab report was done by implementing methods that have been learned throughout this semester in our microbiology lab course which helped identify my unknown bacterium #115. 6/28/2012 The 1st lab procedure performed was the gram stain.
1.7 — Submit the completed laboratory report via the Week3 Digital Dropbox by Sunday evening of Week3. Make sure your name is on the laboratory pdf document. Alternatively, you can submit the saved pdf file into the Desktop folder (lastname_iLab3) for later submission to your instructor with the Lab Manual exercises. LABORATORY STEPS PART B: Step 2: Lab Manual Exercise 26: Blood Components and Blood Tests ~ 1 hour From Allen and Harper, Laboratory Manual for Anatomy and Physiology 5th ed. 2.0 — Read background pages 411-423 from the Laboratory Manual.
Unknown Lab Report: Enterobacter cloacae Jessica Sainvil Professor Cupido Bio 253L1 Thu 9:30-12:30 Due Date: 12/6/12 Unknown#103 Introduction The bacterium Enterobacter cloacae isolated from the given #103 was a Gram-negative Rod. The purpose of this lab was to isolate and identify the genus and species of an unknown bacterium. It is important to identify an unknown microorganism because knowing how the bacteria work and how it is structured means knowing how it can affect humans. Unknown bacteria may also be used clinically many pharmaceutical drugs are based on products made by organisms (Katzung, B.G.2004). In order to identify the unknown organism a series of tests were performed.
READ THIS LAB BEFORE COMING TO CLASS. Introduction: In this lab exercise we will study the effects of an abiotic (non-living) factor on seed germination (the beginning of seed growth which is usually seen with emergence of a small white root). We will also be stressing the use of graphing skills. We will use a common seed available in grocery stores, red kidney beans. These plants do not live near the sea normally.

Online Lab: Organic Molecules Introduction: Cells contain many organic molecules. These molecules are essential to life. Many of them are acquired from the food we eat. In this lab you will study carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Procedure: Before beginning this lab please take the time to review this hand out and compare it to the information you know about organic molecules.

Me and Mitch worked together to guess the overall density of each of the plants in the square. We classified betugland, salex, moss, pyrola and carex in are survey. Im not sure as to how the plot we did would be classified in the Canadian wetland system but the problems we encountered were being able to survey in deeper water as well as working around such uneven terrain. Any human activity in a wetland can be seriously harmful and even irreversible. The Fen we looked at behind Copperridge biggest fear would be man kind putting more houses or trails around it, because wetlands are fragile
