Goldfish Lab Report
Determination of Gold from Goldfish

ABSTRACT
The abstract is a condensed version of the entire lab report (approximately 250 words). A reader uses the abstract to quickly understand the purpose, methods, results and significance of your research without reading the entire paper. Abstracts or papers published in scholarly journals are useful to you when you are conducting library research, because you can quickly determine whether the research report will be relevant to your topic. The material in the abstract is written in the same order as that within the paper, and has the same emphasis. An effective abstract should include a sentence or two summarizing the highlights from each of the sections: introduction (including purpose), methods, results, and discussion. To reflect the content (especially results and conclusions) of the paper accurately, the abstract should be written after the final draft of your paper is complete, although it is placed at the beginning of the paper. Begin the abstract with a brief, but specific, background statement to introduce your report. State your main purpose or objective and

All legends should be printed consecutively in a separate section of the manuscript. Authors are responsible for providing digital art that has been properly sized and cropped. Appropriately sized numbers, letters, and symbols should be used so they are no smaller than 2 mm in size after reduction to a single column width (20 picas, 8.7 cm, 3.25 inches), a 1.5-column width (29 picas, 12.0 cm, 4.75 inches), or a full 2-column width (42 picas, 17.8 cm, 7 inches). Superscript and subscript characters are not excluded from this rule. Numbers, letters, and symbols used in multi-paneled figures must be consistent. The abscissa and ordinate should be clearly labeled with appropriately sized type, and units of measurement must be

    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…

    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…

As a student, you should learn to think, speak, and write in abstracts. For example, when the TA asks you a question, respond with an abstract-style answer, that is, give a complete but…

    Abstract of the Report

    • 3763 Words
    • 16 Pages

    Academic literature uses the abstract to succinctly communicate complex research. An abstract may act as a stand-alone entity instead of a full paper. As such, an abstract is used by many organizations as the basis for selecting research that is proposed for presentation in the form of a poster, platform/oral presentation or workshop presentation at an academic conference. Most literature database search engines index only abstracts rather than providing the entire text of the paper. Full texts of scientific papers must often be purchased because of copyright and/or publisher fees and therefore the abstract is a significant selling point for the reprint or electronic form of the full text.[1]…
