Three experiments demonstrating basic properties of the active transport system in the Malpighian tubule are described. These include a demonstration of dye uptake by the tubule, effect of metabolic inhibitors on dye uptake, and temperature effects on active transport. (JN)

Described is a simple demonstration of fermentation. The materials needed, the basic experimental set-up, and various projects are outlined. Included are a diagram of an apparatus for measuring carbon dioxide production and a table showing typical results of the effect of pH on fermentation. (RT)

Describes relatively simple and inexpensive experiments for demonstrating the immune response to honeybee venom in the American cockroach, "Periplaneta americana." (PR)
