This lab is about Oil Spill Bioremediation. I will upload the copy of the lab with Activity 1 that I conducted at home. I will also upload photos of the results of the lab. Also I will upload my observations for each activity and you are to add them to the paper in your own words in the observation paragraph. **Instructions
- Introduction paragraph: Provide background on the lab topic, explaining the key concepts covered in the lab
and defining (in your own words) important terms relating to the lab. . Explain why the lab topic is important to
scientists. Using APA format, cite at least two outside credible sources (sources other than textbook or lab
manual) in your statement. Your introduction paragraph should be 10 complete original, substantive sentences
long. - Second Paragraph: : In 5 to 7 sentences, explain the purpose of this lab. What is it intended to examine or
test? - Third Paragraph: State 3 different hypothesis for A, B, and C
A. Tubes 1 and 2 will utilize the tetrazolium indicator to determine if metabolism is taking place. Hypothesize
whether you think the indicator will change color in both tubes, neither one, or just tube 1 or tube 2, and
describe your reasoning. Use Figure 3 (see lab document) to help form your hypothesis.
B. Tubes 3 and 4 will be used to examine the change in appearance and physical properties of the oil in the
presence of
microorganisms. Hypothesize if you will be able to see the oil broken down in either of these tubes without the
indicator present, and describe your reasoning. Use Figure 3 (see uploaded lab) to help form your hypothesis.
C. Tubes 5 and 6 will be used to test the effects of your chosen environmental factor on the breakdown of oil by
microorganisms. Hypothesize if temperature variation
will experience the greater breakdown by microbes, and describe your reasoning. Use Figure 3 to help form
your hypothesis. - Fourth Paragraph: Observation Paragraph
In 5 to 7 sentences, record observations about the color, viscosity, and general appearance of each of the six
oils. - Fifth Paragraph: Discussion Paragraph Accept or reject hypothesis paragraph: Based upon the results of
each lab activity, explain whether you accepted or rejected each of your hypotheses, and why. Follow these
steps:
• Restate your original hypothesis for the lab activity.
• Communicate the results of the lab. Then,
• Compare your hypothesis to the results of the lab and decide whether to accept your hypothesis or reject it.
• State if your hypothesis is supported or not, and explain with evidence.
