Explore the symbiotic relationship between legumes and bacteria by analyzing nodules for nitrogen fixation. Understand the effects of this symbiosis on bacterial populations. Exercise caution when using sharp cutting utensils.

NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR: This lab uses sharp cutting utensils (either scissors, razor blades, or scalpel) – extreme care should be used.
Description: Goals: Explain carbon and nitrogen cycles. Define symbiosis and state the effects of symbiotic relationships on populations. Legumes Symbiosis Lab: Examine the nodules of legumes (Lima beans and Soybeans) planted on “Day 0” as a symbiotic relationship between plants and bacteria.
Objectives: Day 17 Analyze nodules of legumes for nitrogen fixation. State the effects of symbiosis of legumes on bacterial populations.
Today… Today you will be completing a lab. There are several different parts and you will be using sharp cutting utensil – BE CAREFUL! When told, move into your groups and listen for instructions. Remember: • Be cautious and attentive • Wear apron, and gloves at all times • Follow instructions and ask questions if you are unsure what to do.
Objectives: Day 17 Analyze nodules of legumes for nitrogen fixation. State the effects of symbiosis of legumes on bacterial populations.
