Unless otherwise directed to do so, students should work alone in doing in the laboratory exercises. Take extreme care when using the analytical balances, thermometers, and other items of equipment that are expensive and/or may be easily broken. When the laboratory exercise is completed, all equipment should be cleaned and put in its proper place or in the locker in an orderly way. The bench top and common work areas should also be

There are several sections to this lab. Find each section and complete the “Preparing for Class” sections.

Citrobacter Freundii is a species of bacteria that can be potentially harmful to humans. It is known to cause meningitis by protruding into the brain and replicating itself (1). The Citrobacter species has also been found as a cause of some urinary tract infections, diarrhea, and even gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms (3). C. Freundii can be located in a wide variety of soils and water (3). Lastly, it is also the cause of many nosocomial infections due to its presence in water (1).

Write a paragraph (a minimum of five college-level sentences) below that summarizes what was accomplished in this lab, what you learned by performing it, how it relates to this week’s TCOs and other course material, and just as importantly, how you feel it will benefit you in your academic and professional career. (8 points) in this lab I am performing a switch start up and initial configuration. This lab showed me how to set up a motd for users accessing the switch. Also learned how to show passwords and encrypt them as well. This is very useful because a lot of time we (the IT dept) doesn’t want anyone to know what passwords are used to access the switches and

Prepare a 10-minute (8-10 slides; no larger than 5 MB) PowerPoint presentation related to the problem, evidence appraisal, and practice implications.

A) Describe in your own words, in as much detail as you can, the anaerobic metabolism of glucose to pyruvate. B) Draw this pathway (by hand), indicating all substrates, enzymes, cofactors and products. (You do not need to include reaction mechanisms.)

I have written many different types of papers for all of my classes throughout high school. For my science classes, I have written several labs in the form of essays. Writing the essays was different for me because I did not really know that science had much to do with writing. It took me a while to gather all the information I needed to finish my lab assignments. Writing lab reports will definitely help me in my science courses in the next four years.

This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.

Based on your Week 3 collaborative learning team discussion, submit, individually, a 350- to 700-word summary of the

This final week of LED 480 class can be best described as a goal setting week. This past week’s main lesson learned was mostly about preparation. This week’s lessons allowed me to conduct an honest self-evaluation and shed light on my current progress, evaluate the things I did wrong, reflect on the things I am doing right, and ways to complete my research paper plan, which all contributed towards my action plan.

Each week, the student will have a specific portion to submit (hereunder) as described in the modules. Prepare each assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Whilst the practical classes deal with different techniques, it is important that you write it up as a single laboratory report. The write-up should contain a general introduction written as an overview. The methods and results should be written up as separate sections within the single write-up and the conclusion should be a general summing up exercise where you can discuss the relative success of each practical. Please remember that the write-up should be written up in the passive and in past tense. Further guidelines for the write-up are provided separately and uploaded on Unilearn.

This lab and its procedures are all about finding out the unknown identification of a given bacteria. The lab consists of specific techniques, tests, chemicals, and vocabulary that are necessary for the finding of the bacterial identity. A bacterium is randomly assigned and it is a group effort to find the bacteria name through many of its specialties and characteristics. An example of classifying it would be to determine whether the bacteria is catalase negative or positive, or if the species is gram negative or positive. This lab is of huge significance because of its medical microbiology connections. Scientists Gurtler and Stanisich explained the connections more eloquently. They stated, in their medical article, that, “Medical microbiology
