Mice Lab Report

A group of 11 mice was given water, and another group of 10 mice was supplied with diluted black coffee (coffee:water 1:1) as drinking fluids for five weeks. The composition of the diets and living conditions were similar for both groups of mice. Blood glucose was monitored weekly for all mice. After five weeks, there was no change in average body weight between groups. Results indicated that blood glucose concentrations increased significantly in the mice that drank water compared with those that were supplied with coffee. Finally, blood glucose concentration in the coffee group exhibited a 30 percent decrease compared with that in the water group.

One of the hidden dangers in any household is mice infestation. We do all sorts of things to secure our homes from intruders and burglars and possible other trespassers but these unwanted pests will always be a constant threat to our homes. There are two major types of mice: the household mice and the wild mice. House mice have heads and feet that are proportional to its body and its tail is about as long as its body. They have the same color throughout and like in the cartoon series, Tom and Jerry, they have flat upper incisors. Wild mouse have head and feet not proportional to its body. They have short and hairy tails. They have large ears and protruding eyes and their colors of their belly and feet may be different from its body. Most wild mice will feed on certain kinds of foods that are common in their area like grains, rice, wheat, seeds while house mice are scavengers and will feed on anything, Most diseases are carried by house mice but wild mice do also carry some diseases that may pose a danger to us, though

The mole is a convenient unit for analyzing chemical reactions. Avogadro’s number is equal to the mole. The mass of a mole of any compound or element is the mass in grams that corresponds to the molecular formula, also known as the atomic mass. In this experiment, you will observe the reaction of iron nails with a solution of copper (II) chloride and determine the number of moles involved in the reaction. You will determine the number of moles of copper produced in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the number of moles of iron used up in the reaction of iron and copper (II) chloride, determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and determine the number of atoms and formula units involved in

An association between enzyme production, gene copy number, and gene evolution was explored by conducting analysis of the salivary amylase enzyme, AMY1A gene copy number, and the ancestral starch consumption in Homo Sapiens (Tracey 2017, p.22). It was hypothesized that the relative amount of starch consumption was very high for my personal ancestral diet, thus my AMY1 diploid gene copy number in my genome and salivary amylase concentration would be significantly higher than the population mean. With a population of 28 subjects (n=28), individual saliva samples were collected and compared to a calibration curve to determine the approximate amylase concentration by analyzing absorbance values. Individual samples of buccal cheek cells were

The major storage polysaccharide in plants is starch. These molecules would be found in abundance in the stroma in the plant tubers where it is found as granules. Glucose is stored mainly in the form of starch granules, in plastids like chloroplasts and amyloplasts. Plant starch starts out as glucose, but glucose is very hard for plants to store, so it is converted to starch through polymerization. Amyoplasts turn the glucose into starch and move it to the stroma, and in tubers the stroma is a place to store the food (starch), and when plants need the energy in the starch, it converts the starch back into glucose.

2. (5 pts) List and explain the names and affiliations of the various characters/stakeholders in this story – I’m looking for us to use the story to map out the complexities that are generally associated with solving public health puzzles – the stakeholders you list and explain here should apply to many of the cases we consider going forward.

Predominant life fuel resource changed during the body development. ATP is mainly sourced from glucose at fetal phase, then gradually shift to fatty acid metabolism after birth. Studies proved that individuals born with a low birth weight (LBW) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adult life, which glucose transport and related metabolism involved. In this paper, author use the lamb as the IUGR model, tried to find out the effect of changes in the intrauterine environment that result in LBW on key regulatory proteins involved in cardiac glucose metabolism, glucose transport and fatty acid metabolism.

The hypothesis for this situation is that the plant that is not doing very well is that it is not getting the same amount of sun as the plant that was doing really well. Another possibility is that it’s not getting enough water as the other plant so it could not be doing as well because of those two

Lately, we, the seventh grade of SLCS have been learning about the brain and the five senses. We have gained a better understanding of how our five senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. We have been taught how electric signals are sent to our frontal lobe to compare each experience with another event we have been through in our lives. To test our knowledge further, we conducted an experiment comprised of eight mice and mazes. We will execute this experiment by following the steps of the scientific method: asking questions, developing a hypothesis, collecting data, and analyzing results. We set a mouse into the one of the four mazes and recorded the time they completed the maze and came out. The mice had to use their senses in order

We performed a full service mice removal in Saginaw recently. This time of year mice can become a real problem. They are looking to move inside and stay warm and will be attracted to any home that they can get into especially if the home has a food source they can exploit. The mice in this situation had gained access through an attached garage. There were 2 entry points that we found there. They used these to gain access to the basement and had stored a multitude of acorns in a few different spots under the stairs. The homeowners did not find evidence of these mice until they had spread out and were leaving droppings in their kitchen drawers and pantry.

Everyday society passes by minute details with no regard what so ever for the magnificent organism that functions to produce an essential gas vital for the human life. This magnificent organism are the various leaves one may find in backyards to parks to school. Although they are small and disregarded, they have various forms that are each unique to certain regions. Therefore the purpose of the lab is to explore the different types of leaves in different environment with different climates. Its significance is that we individual can observe how various factors affect the leaves in a specific area. The experiment will take place at Fullerton’s local university, California State University Fullerton. They possess an incredible arboretum that

We used the differentiated cells C2C12 myoblast to help us determine the difference in the muscle cells. These cells are signal through the

Overall, satellite cells affect the size and regeneration of muscle tissue and fibers (Lee 2004). Myostatin targets these cells and keeps most satellite cells quiescent unless when needed (Lee 2004). With a mutation of myostatin, more satellite cells are activated and cause an increase in muscle fibers (Lee 2004). Scientists continue to research the long-term effects of MSTN gene to see if it is a possible treatment for individuals suffering from loss of muscle tissue (Joulia-Ekaza and Cabello

Adult, male and female C57BL mice were used and were bred from our own facilities at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

All procedures utilized in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC; protocol # 11968) of the University of Sothern California and carried out in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH). Cohorts consisted of male C57BL/6J mice (15-16 weeks of age; 24-29g).
