Brine Shrimps Experiment
7. The experiment was designed in a way so that the different temperature conditions can be used to obtain different length of brine shrimp lengths. The goal was to grow brine shrimps of longer lengths so that the more protein for their activity can be obtained. The alternative hypothesis would be that there is a difference in the length of the shrimps grown under room temperature and incubator aquarium. Therefore, null hypothesis is that the brine shrimps length is same when grown at temperatures and the incubator aquarium and the temperature has no effect on their growth. Therefore, the experiment was conducted and the result obtained suggests that the incubator reared adults turned out to be slightly smaller than the counter top reared adults

    Brine Shrimp Experiment Report

    My results to my findings to my brine shrimp experiment was started on 12-28-15, using 4 jars. Each jar contained water, salt, and brine shrimp eggs. I started by filling each jar with tap water and then adding salt. I added 1 TSP of salt and each jar added ½ TSP more of salt. In my experiment I noticed on the first day, 12-28-15, in all the jars the brine shrimp eggs were added to the 4 jars. Some observations I noticed were the eggs didn’t sink right away, they stayed on the surface for awhile. On the second day, 12-29-15, in jar 1 85% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. In jar 2 75% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. In jar 3 65% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched, and in jar 4 70% of the brine shrimp eggs hatched. All 4 of the jars had the same observations, they didn’t swim gracefully, they were on the side of the jar with more light, and there was still unhatched…

    Dark Box Experiment Essay

    The aim of this experiment was to find the favoured temperature for types of micro-organisms to grow. The hypothesis was sort of rejected in this experiment as our rule of thumb didn’t add up to the results we got. If we could make our results more accurate, we could have supported our hypothesis but as the results were inaccurate, we could not prove that our hypothesis was correct. Overall this experiment went well even though there were some difficulties and problems that occurred which altered our…

    Respiration Lab

    The objective of this lab was to figure out which has a higher cell respiration rate between crayfish and elodea. In order to figure this out we first set up three beakers to represent our control, elodea and crayfish and filled them with 75mL of culture solution which were dechlorinated making the solution acidic. We then had to place both the elodea and the crayfish in separate beakers filled with 25mL of water. The increase in volume of the water would represent the volume of the two test subjects. We then covered each beaker with plastic, but for the elodea we placed it under a can so it could be in the dark. After waiting 15 minutes to allow them to respire we took it out and add four drops of phenolphthalein, which was also acidic, to both beakers. Once both beakers got their four drops we added drops of NaOH, which was a base, until the solution turned pink. Our results were that the respiration rate of the crayfish was higher than the elodea.…

    Carolina Natural Selection For AP Biology

    Natural Selection is the environments’ favoring of a particular trait in a population. Organisms use many different methods to adapt to their environments. In this experiment one must use brine shrimp and salt water solutions to represent organisms and their environments. Some organisms like the brine shrimp adapt to changes in their environments. Brine shrimp eggs produce cysts when their environmental conditions aren’t being cooperative. Brine shrimp eggs grow hard and brown when their environment does not have enough oxygen to support them. This also happens when there is too much salt content in their environment. When the eggs become hard and brown, they can be kept for long periods of time in a dry, oxygen- free environment. When the cyst is returned to its normal environment, it continues on with its development and eventually hatches. Brine shrimp are the perfect organisms to do experiments on because they only require a short time for development. The person conducting the experiment must use 5 beakers, each with different amounts of salt in them. The point of the experiment is to see how the brine shrimp eggs respond in each dish of salt concentrate. Once the salt and water have been combined, one must place approximately twenty brine shrimp on a microscope slide. After twenty four hours, some of the brine shrimp eggs should have hatched while some have partially hatched or not hatched yet. This must be done at the twenty four hour mark and the forty eight hour mark. The data should be written down on the chart given in the experiment papers. The hatching viability must be found by adding the number of hatched eggs at twenty four hours and the hatched eggs at forty eight hours and dividing it by the initial amount of eggs placed in the petri dish.…

    The Number of Maggots in the Mass Affects the Temperature of Maggot Mass and Development of Maggots in the Mass: An Experiment

    The aim of this investigation is to find a correlation between the number of maggots in the mass and the temperature of maggot mass. To find the correlation the different number of maggots in each mass was placed in (the isolated by glass beakers) polystyrene cups. The internal temperature of masses was obtained regularly every 10 minutes during 30 minutes time period under the same temperature of surroundings. The experiment was repeated several times and all results were recorded, averages were calculated and the graph showing the correlation was plotted. The result of the investigation is a positive correlation between the number of maggots in the mass and the temperature of the mass (the more maggots there are in mass the higher is the internal temperature of it). Then maggots were allowed to pupate and the time taken for every mass of maggots to pupate (until all larvae in the mass are pupated) was determined. This allowed us to conclude that the number of maggots in the mass and the development time has a negative correlation (as the number of maggots in mass the less time it takes them to pupate), which proved that the prediction and hypothesis made before the experiment was conducted were right. The results of the experiment showed that the number of maggots in the does affect the time for maggots to develop. The research was done to explain the results.…

    The Respiratory Rate of Goldfish Affected in Lower Water Temperature

    The purpose of this experiment was to determine how the temperature of water, when decreased, directly affected the respiratory rate of the experimental ectothermic subject: goldfish. In this experiment, the independent variable was the water and the dependent variables were the respiratory rates of the experimental goldfish and controlled goldfish. The said hypothesis was that the water temperature would have directly influenced the respiratory rate of the experimental subject since temperature directly regulates breathing.…

    Gold Fish Lab Report

    This experiment was designed to identify the effect of cold-water temperatures on the respiration rate of goldfish. The respiration rates helped to identify the goldfish as being ectotherms or endotherms. Organisms exchange gases with their environment through a process called respiration or breathing. Aerobic respiration, also known as aerobic metabolism, occurs when oxygen is taken into the body and sent to all its cells; the oxygen is then used to break down food for energy (White and Campo 2008). Respiration can be experienced through several structures such as the lungs, tracheae, gills, and integument in order to obtain oxygen. All organisms that experience respiration are either endotherms or ectotherms. Ectotherms are animals that depend on their environment for body temperature. These animals respond to changes in their environment in order to maintain homeostasis, the stable, internal conditions of the organism. Animals that are warm-blooded and can regulate their body temperatures internally regardless of their environment are endotherms. For ectotherms, regulating body temperatures can require more work. Those aquatic animals have adapted several techniques to stay alive. Larry Crawshaw explains that animals, both aquatic and terrestrial, seek to avoid stressful thermal environments or to compensate for the temperature change by mostly lowering the metabolic rate (1979). Lowering the metabolic rate allows certain enzymes to be produced and chemical reactions to happen within the fish that actually warms it up. While lowering metabolic rates are important, respiration regulation is also important. Stephen C. Wood also believes that ectotherms need behavioral mechanisms for temperature control. These mechanisms could include slowing breathing rates to conserve energy and releasing certain chemicals into the body (1991). This…

    INTRODUCTION: Our main objective for this experiment was to determine which three chemicals were going to be the most toxic to the brine shrimp by adding drops of vinegar, bleach and ammonia to the controlled water. We found that the vinegar was the most effective and the quickest. The ending results were very interesting when being compared to our hypothesis and we learned that some chemicals can react faster than others and each contains a different level of concentration.…

    Analysis on Blackfish

    Introduction: Sea World is a place for people to get a splash of happiness and amusement watching whales do intricate tricks but is the fact that the Orcas are held in captivity and unhappy worth that splash of amusment. The case of “Blackfish” deals with the captivity of Orca Whales in Sea World and the bill being put up in California to ban the captivity and breeding of Orcas called the California Captive Orca Welfare and Safety Act (Sanchez, 2014). A documentary produced by Magnolia Films about the “Blackfish” case and the danger of Orcas being in captivity lead to a menacing effect on the image of Sea World.…

    Snail And Gold Fish Lab Report

    This report discusses an experiment to study the rate of aerobic cellular respiration in aquatic organisms which are Elodea (aquatic plant), Snail, and Goldfish, by measuring carbon dioxide production. Because ectothermic organisms (Elodea, snail, and goldfish) were placed in completely covered beaker, each organism would produce different amount of carbon dioxide. The objective of the experiment is to measure carbon dioxide production in three aquatic organisms, and to determine and compare the rate of cellular respiration in each organism. Aerobic respiration is the process which body obtains energy by using glucose + oxygen; this reaction takes place in mitochondrion in a cell; And the result of the reaction are carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) (Hoefnagels, 2012). According to Biology 6th Edition, plants use light to convert atmospheric carbon (CO2) into carbohydrate (Johnson, 204). So I predicted snail would respire at the fastest rate and produce more CO2 because its weight was heavier than other two…
