Too many house-flies are coming into people’s homes during the summer when they have their doors and windows open. This is a problem for the people living in these homes as house-flies carry diseases that they transmit onto food around the home. We need to come up with a solution that decreases the number of house-flies coming into the home while allowing people to keep their doors open. After considering numerous ideas I concluded that the best way to do this is via a eugenol based fly spray. Due to

FRUITS‚ SEEDS AND THE FUTURE JEANETTE JOHNSON A fruit results from the maturation of one or more flowers. The ovule producing part of the flower forms all or part of the fruit. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more small eggs‚ where the embryo sac contains the egg cell. When the female embryo sac joins with two male sperm these ovules become seeds. (Biology Online‚ 2005) Each fruit is made of certain acids‚ vitamins‚ fructose

Problem Which form of plant life will thrive the most in a hydroponics enrichment. Will it be Tomatoes our fruit‚ Peas our vegetable‚ Tinkerbell flowers‚ or Beans a legume? First we selected a suitable PVC pipe and cut it into a 4 foot long piece. Next we cut four holes into the pipe with a jigsaw. After that we drilled two holes for the brass tee’s to fit

Tomato Sweetness Jessica Pursell American InterContinental University 01/18/2015 Biology IP2 Introduction You and your neighbor have small kitchen gardens where you both grow tomatoes. His blotchy green and red tomatoes taste much sweeter than your perfectly uniform red ones. Could the sweetness of the tomatoes be effected by the green chloroplasts in the fruit? Hypothesis I personally think that the green chloroplasts do play a part in the sweetness of the tomatoes because it doesn’t

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention

seeds and most sweet fruit. This typically means the leaf‚ stem‚ or root of a plant. The non-biological definition of a vegetable is largely based on culinary and cultural tradition. Therefore‚ the application of the word is somewhat arbitrary‚ based on cultural and/or personal views. Vegetables are most often cooked in savoury or salty dishes. However‚ a few vegetables can be used in desserts and other sweet dishes‚ such as pumpkin pie and carrot cake. A fruit on the other hand is a

Temperature range Background: All organisms are adapted to a particular environment with its characteristic temperature range. The temperature range allows the organism’s enzymes to control its metabolism by operating at their optimum efficiency within this range. Some organisms are adapted to live at high temperatures (80 - 100oC) and these are called thermophiles

You are encouraged to refer to this document each time you write a lab report. The writing of laboratory reports is an essential part of any practical module in Psychology. This is because psychologists (and more generally most scientists) write accounts of their studies using a standard format‚ which makes explicit
