2015-2016 ABSTRACT The relationship of molecular weight and rate of diffusion was determined using three colored substances with different molecular weights, namely Potassium permanganate, Potassium dichromate and Methylene Blue. A water-agar gel in a petri dish was used to be able to observe the movement of the particles of each substance. Potassium dichromate had the fastest rate of diffusion among the three substances. Thus, the smaller the molecular weight, the faster the rate of diffusion. INTRODUCTION

slants of nutrient agar and 2 slants of nutrient broth. 1 agar Petri dish. # 11 We inoculated nutrient agar using the needle by one streak from bottom to top. Broth was inoculated as well. One slant and one broth incubated at 25 C and other slant and broth at 37 C. Purpose 1… To determine optimum temp for bacteria Purpose 2… To start collecting morphological characteristics of colonial growth of the bacteria. Color of bacteria in Petri dish is yellowish beige.

available for MS Windows, Solaris, Linux and some other operating systems. MySQL is widely used among individual students and larger Organizations due to the following reasons. MYSQL is almost free of cost; it is much less expensive than Oracle (Petri, 2005). Each and every individual student can set up MySQL locally on their own computer system. It is really simple to use Shell in order to query tables, create tables etc. MySQL is simple to use with Java JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)

Are animals really people too? Do they get married? Are they considered responsible for their actions? We give them names and human personalities on to them but we eat them. We domesticated and breed them for consumption and work tasks. We have used animals as tools for thousands years. All major civilizations use animals to eat or work or both. Animal rights activists will say that we do not need animal testing but we do. A large majority of scientists believe that animal testing is still
