Name Professor Course Date Lab Report In most ectothermic animals, the temperature is the most important determinant of metabolic rate. This is due to the fact that temperature control most physiological and biochemical processes in the bodies of all ectothermic animals (Takeda and Okazaki 34). Metabolic rate is a core concept when determining the energy consumption rate of organisms, and this can contribute to understanding how they use their energy. In this experiment, the main objective was to determine how metabolism is affected by an increase in temperature. Methods The aim of the experiment was to measure the rate of metabolism for a period of one hour on varying temperature....

Name: Professor: Course: Date: Staphylococcus saprophyticus is a well-known bacterium pathogen. It is well known for its cause of urinary tract infections. It is a gram-positive coccus which means that it provides a positive result when tested using the gram stain test. This is attest used for the classification of bacteria, and the results are based on the nature of their cell walls. It is a bacterium from the Staphylococcus genus. The lab report was used for the isolation of the three species of Staphylococcus and was based on the use of different mediums. This is a very important process in medicine because all the three species have different properties and therefore some are pathogens...

Name Instructor Course Date Introduction This lab report gives an introductory rundown on marine life and the interaction with the ecosystem and other factors determining their distribution within their environment. Question one Subtidal Zone also is known as sub-littoral is the zone immediately underneath the low tide lines which comprises of the underwater coastal life area. According to Eleftheriou and Holme (187), this zone constitutes the part of with significant impact of waves and currents, and as such, the organisms have anatomical adaptions to aid their survival and cope up with the dynamics of this environment such as clinging on hard substrates. These organisms include Sponges,...

First Name Last Name Instructor's Name Course Date Morphological Characteristics Bacteria comes with different shapes and forms and different genera comes with their specific shapes and sizes. The shapes are hard to determine with unaided eye though, a clear distinction can be made with a microscope. Bacteria comes with fie destine shapes; the rod shape (bacilli), corkscrew (spirochaetes), spherical (cocci), comma shape (vibrio) and spiral (spirilla)In our experiment, we observed rod-shaped bacteria indicating the presence of bacteria from bacilli genus Colonial morphology To further rule out more gram-positive bacteria a starch test is carried out on the colonies. Starch test involves...
