General Biology Labs.

[Mike Kolotila x3887]

Hi;
  We are trying to update and smooth out some labs in our introductory 
biology I laboratory.
1)  we have been using Elodea for a photosynthesis experiment with 
varying degrees of success.  Measuring O2 production.  Is there a better 
organism or is there some way to boost its O2 production.
2)  we would like to to go to microchemistry (24 well plates) for 
chemistry of biologically important molecules.  Looking for a test for 
glucose or other simple sugar that does not require Benedict's Reagent 
and a simple test for lipidsd other than brown paper.
  All help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.  Reply either to me or 
post here on bioforum.  Thanks again.

-Michael-
