1 is a nocturnal arboreal gecko, ranging from northeast India and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, Philippines to Indonesia and western New Guinea. Its native habitat is rainforest trees and cliffs. The 2nd largest species of gecko. It is nocturnal. The underside of each foot is covered with tiny hairlike projections that gives them more surface area for "sticking" to surfaces. The gecko feeds on insects. Question: If a population of gecko in a geographic range decreases and it's density remains constant, then how is the population changing? Tokay Gecko (Animalia) Organism of the Day: Tokay Gecko `

DUCKWEED LAB: PART 2 

Data Analysis (10 Points) 1. Count the number of fronds in each beaker. It may be difficult to decide how to count the fronds, and 

which are too small to count. The important thing is to be consistent so that your results will be comparable across treatments. 

2. Record your data in the table below and  make notes  about any plants that are yellow, rootless, or sinking, or that otherwise appear unhealthy. 

3. Using Graph 1, graph the mean (average) for each treatment. Then graph the class data using a different colored pen. Finally, analyze your data using the guidelines below.

Analysis: Comparison to the Control: 

The first thing to check is your control. The purpose of the control is to identify how well the duckweed will grow under unmanipulated conditions. 

You can expect the number of fronds to roughly double in the control beakers during the week­long incubation period. If your control plants did not grow much or do not look healthy, something may have gone wrong in your experiment. Perhaps the nutrient solution was too strong or too weak, or the plants were not healthy to begin with. Could there have been a problem with the environmental conditions? 

Analysis of Trends: Looking at your graph, do you notice any trends? For example, does the toxicity of the sulfuric acid appear to increase as the concentration increases, or does it stay the same from one concentration to the next? Are there any data that does not seem to make sense?

Graphing Directions:

A. Your manipulated variable should be recorded on the X­axis and your responding variable is graphed on the Y­axis. For the manipulated variable, use pH instead of concentration of H 2SO 4 . 

B. First, create a line graph for your group’s data. C. Second, create a line graph for the class’s average using a different colored pen. D. Include a descriptive title for your graph. E.g. “The effect of _____ on _____” Write this after the term 

“Figure 1.” 

E. Answer the analysis questions below.

2. Estimate the TC50 (Toxic Concentration that causes organisms to grow 50% as well as the control group) and LC50 (Lethal Concentration that kills 50% of your control).  Examples:  

Control frond count (start) 

Control frond  count (end)  Increase 

Then TC50 total frond count would be = Start + ½ increase 

Then LC50 total frond count would be = ½ start 

TC50:  If the pond water control started with 10 fronds and ended with 24, there was an increase of 14 in the control. If a solution is slightly toxic and has a TC50, that means it will only grow half as well as the control. Since the control grew 14 fronds, a solution with a TC50 would have only a 7 frond increase. All samples started with 10 fronds. So if a solution has 10 + 7 fronds it only grew half as well as the control, and would be declared the TC50 solution. Look at Example 2 and determine how the TC50 was calculated. LC50:  If the pond water control started with 10 fronds, it makes no difference how many grew. The 

LC50 is always ½ the starting number. So a solution that kills off ½ the original number would be declared the LC50 solution. 

A. Calculate the TC50 for your Group’s data:  

B. Calculate the LC50 for your Group’s data: 

C. Calculate the TC50 for the Class’ data:  

D. Calculate the LC50 for the Class’ data:  

3. What were the apparent affects of acid on duckweed at the macro, or visible level?
