After the completion of the series of labs we were tasked with, we have discovered numerous things about what substance would be the best biofuels and biofuel alternatives. In lab 1, we germinated 150 radish seeds on filter paper within different Petri dishes. For my group, we were asked to use the substance of Ethanol in concentrations, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1.25%, 625% and the last dish being filled with deionized water. Out of these concentrations, we can tell that ethanol doesn’t cause much germination and doesn’t greatly affect the environment. However, when compared to the N- Butanol Ethanol isn’t the healthiest alternative out of the three we tested for these labs, it was a close measurement but the N-Butanol is a healthier alternative for …show more content…
Even though soybean oil has a lower melting and freezing point than canola, soybeans have a very high concentration of saturated fats which in a way cancels out the benefit of the substance’s low freezing point. When fat levels are high the performance in colder weather starts to disappoint. However, in Canola oil, the saturated fat levels are very low meaning that even with its higher freezing point, its performance will outshine Soybean oil. The fat content also affects the synthesis of creating biofuel out of these two. Canola is a cheaper and quicker option compared to Soybean because the cleaning steps are not as extensive and more effective. Furthermore, Canola also has a much higher efficiency due to its high oil content (43% compared to 18%). Furthermore, in regards to toxic emissions, Canola releases fewer hydrocarbons, toxic compounds, carbon monoxide and particulate matter than Soybean oil. It is due to canola oil already being 10% oxygen simply by weight, while Soybean doesn’t have an oxygen weight concentration close to 7%. Then in total Soybean oil is much more expensive to buy, especially when Canola can perform better at a much lower
The protein molecules in many foods provide the amino acid building blocks required by our own cells to produce new proteins. To determine whether a sample contains protein, a reagent called Biuret solution is used. Biuret solution contains copper ions. However, the chemical state of the copper ions in Biuret solution causes them to form a chemical complex with the peptide bonds between amino acids (when present), changing the color of the solution. Biuret solution is normally blue, but changes to pink when short peptides are present and to violet when long polypeptides are present.
You can store them on the domain itself and I would say that this is the same as a PKI server because a PKI server has more of a hierarchal ladder of trust to verify users.
When the pH is not at its optimum, the differing pH's will disrupt the bonding between the R groups of the amino acid causing its structure and the shape of the activation site to change
What observations can you make regarding the gene pool and gene frequency of the surviving individuals?
Table 1 Concentration of protein, DNA, and ratio of the two in heart, kidney and liver of bos taurus. Average standard deviation of protein concentration is also shown.
If new crust is indeed being produced at the rifts, where does the additional older crust go?
3. Experiment: Use the Gizmo to find the carrying capacity with Ample, Moderate, and Little land. List the carrying capacities below.
Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in the conversion of reactants into products.
The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel, which leaves a clean test tube. Incomplete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce some oxides with less oxygen than the most common oxides. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to react
The proof (twice the % alcohol) starts at its maximum and goes down (as the alcohol evaporates). If we start with a high concentration of alcohol, we will get the azeotrope (95% alcohol, 5% water) for a while, then the concentration will decrease.

Throughout today’s society, media contributes to almost everyone’s daily life. From informative news channels to comical television shows, media proves to be effective in advertisement, releasing messages and informing the audience. Although media proves to be wildly effective in advertising, releasing messages and informing the audience, periodically destructive and misleading messages are provided to the audience and directly influencing women. Cultural critics widely agree that media tends to negatively influence women and all the critics point to research which supports the belief that women are portrayed as subordinate to men, having no
The purpose of this experiment was to find out if artificial, chemical fertilizers would affect the growth and behavior of the organisms that came in contact with them. It was the goal of the experiment to determine if there was any adverse reactions since it had been observed that chemical pesticides could harm organisms they were not meant to effect. The experiment was designed to see if in some chemical fertilizers there would be unforeseen negative effects on the selected organisms throughout separate periods of their development. Before the experiment research was done to see if other experiments of the same nature had been conducted to help determine a hypothesis and procedural plan. In "Varying Responses of Insect Herbivores to Altered
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to classify the pigments in various plant specimens as one of the four main pigments by recognizing distinct characteristics indicative of each pigment. If the water keeps the color of the specimen, then I will be able to identify which pigment (or perhaps pigments) is present in the specimen. I came to this conclusion based on the logic that some of the four pigments are water-soluble, so if the water has no color, the pigment dissolved and I can eliminate said pigment. I think that my ability to distinguish the three red specimens will depend on the results of the experiment; if the results suggest that all three red specimens have the same pigment it will be difficult to tell which one is
As a group the question we posed was, how will the color of light affect the germination of the Glycine max? We first looked into how different light colors affected seed germination. Chris Thiele (grobo.io) went through how each light color affects the growth of seeds. He listed each light color and how it affected the plants. This is what he said, no exposure to ultraviolet light produces better growth.
