Background Research Mold is a fungus that grows on foods and other organic matter. Mold can be either harmful or helpful, such as in medicines. It breaks down food into slime in order to extract the nutrients it needs to grow. In a similar way, mold can also break down dead organic material and recycle nutrients into soil, making it essential is the ecosystem. Even if it is essential to the ecosystem, it is very harmful when consumed by living organisms. Inhaling toxins from certain molds can also cause
great, or it may look horrible. More often than not, houses are built just enough to keep a family warm and comfortable. And everyone knows that shelter is one basic necessity for people to survive. However, no matter how fancy a house looks, dust and molds will always form in some parts of the house. This is why you as a member of the household must know how to clean these things up by yourself to save valuable money as well as keep your home clean and healthy. Here are some tips on how you can remove
Fungi is a part of eukaryotic organism that organism can include mold and more. A fungus is very similar to plant, however it is not able to produce its own food using photosynthesis nor does it have chlorophyll. Fungi emit exoenzymes that break down complex molecules and then they absorb the remaining smaller compounds as nutrients. Oxygen and moisture is very necessary for the mold to grow and replicate. There are two ways a mold can replicate, sexually and asexually. Asexually is when it involves
of the multicellular molds and unicellular yeast. Various yeast and molds are found to be the major factor that causes most of the food spoilage rather than foodborne illness. In fact, yeast and molds are less fastidious compared to bacteria especially pathogenic bacteria (James M. Jay, Martin J. Loessner, David A. Golden, 2005). Molds could grow on a variety
Hydrogen Peroxides Effectiveness on Mold “3…2…1…Blastoff! The Space X Dragon has lifted off the ground!” Dragon? Lifted off the ground? The objective of Race to Space is to have any number of kids generate an awesome experiment that can be shot up into space. When our class selected groups I ended up in a group with Makaih, Nick, Brandon, and me. I enjoyed this group because I knew Makaih and Nick at the time. This the way that we came up with our experiment: Makaih found a yam in his garbage can
Objective: This lab was done to help understand restriction enzymes and how they work. As well as comprehend the correlation between these enzymes and DNA Fragments. This lab was conducted to estimate the size of unknown DNA fragment thru agarose gel and electrophoresis. Background: A restriction enzyme is a protein that recognizes a specific, short nucleotide sequence and cuts the DNA only at that specific site, which is known as restriction site or target sequence. Restriction enzymes
The Mold in Dr. Florey’s Coat by Eric Lax comprises of a lot of biographical information of several different scientists involved in the discovery of penicillin as well as information about their personal lives, families, and other events that were going on in the rest of the world around them that ultimately influenced their work. In the beginning chapters the book introduces us to Alexander Fleming, who is credited for discovering penicillin in the first place. Alexander Fleming was born in August
scientist to gather physical evidences to help them and other law informants to understand exactly who, what, when, how, and maybe even why a certain crime was committed. Another function of a forensic scientist is to actually analyze and maybe even experiment on physical evidences, to determine exactly what physical evidences something is or maybe pieces together significant information. For instances, a forensic scientist may find a strand of hair but because they analyze it in the laboratory through
the sample, w (Experiment 1) Add required quantity of water to get the desired moisture content and Mix the soil thoroughly Weigh the empty compaction permeameter mold. Grease the inside slightly, then clamp it between the compaction base plate and extension collar. Place the assembly on a solid base and fill it with soil sample to middle of extension collar and compact it with the compacting equipment On completion of compaction, remove the collar and excess soil. Weigh the mold with compacted
off with “formulating a question, researching the question, forming a hypothesis, conducting an experiment to test the hypothesis, analyze the collected data, and finally drawing a conclusion.” (mularella, slide 4) If and only when the results of the experiments did not match with the hypothesis, will the experiments needs to be redone and try to improve the hypothesis so that the results of the experiment will prove the hypothesis. Contrary to the scientific method, many students and scientist do
