Rate Of Respiration
Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data, while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16, the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high, they overlap in both of the data sets, which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the graph, which has error bars shows just how close the two data sets are.

The null hypothesis was supported. There was no statistically significant difference between the means of the rate of respiration in a half bean, and the rate of respiration

    The purpose of this experiment is to calculate the mass/change in mass of plant tissue, in our case potato tubers. The change in mass of the potato tuber disk determines the osmotic concentration. After soaking the potato tubers in different concentrations of sucrose, then calculating the percent change in mass, we can determine the osmotic concentration. The…

    Germinating Yeast Lab

    Due to the control, non germinating peas/beans are releasing less CO2 ppm than the 24 hour and 48 hour germinating peas/beans. This can be seen when the control from 0-5 minutes was at -76 ppm, while the 24 hour beans were at +374 ppm. The alaskan peas also saw this same type of pattern from 0-5 minutes. The control for the peas was at -176 ppm and the germinating peas were at +1,056 ppm. Since this lab was conducted with precision, and the sensors were not broken, or tampered with before, during or after the experiment, this data is accurate which leads to precise…

    BIOL 1208 Writing Assessment 2

    This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However, the alternative hypothesis states that the mass of the potato disks will increase after they have been incubated in a hypertonic solution. The mass of the potato disks will decrease after they have been incubated in a hypertonic solution. After the results have been gathered, appropriate estimations can then be made as to what the osmotic concentrations of the potato tuber cells are. Osmotic concentrations will either be hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic depending on the results of mass change of the potato tubers.…

    This lab was testing different methods to prevent bean beetles form infesting a chickpea harvest. They wanted to find something that would protect the crop from this invasive creature. To do this they created 3 replicate experiments which contained 25g of seeds each group with a different genotype, and 5 newly hatched adult C. maculatus were added to the jar. They continued to check this on a weekly basis, at the end of the experiment they found that the results where quite different for each jar, and that all of them were not immune to the bean beetle.…

    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.…

    Cellular Respiration Research Paper

    1 Two critical ingredients required for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. Cellular Respiration, process in which cells produce the energy they need to survive. In cellular respiration, cells use oxygen to break down the sugar glucose and store its energy in molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cellular respiration is critical for the survival of most organisms because the energy in glucose cannot be used by cells until it is stored in ATP. Cells use ATP to power virtually all of their activities—to grow, divide, replace worn out cell parts, and execute many other tasks. Cellular respiration provides the energy required for an amoeba to glide toward food, the Venus fly trap to capture its prey, or the ballet dancer to execute…
