Introduction Transpiration is a process which is similar to the evaporation. Water is lost at the surface of the plant such as leaves‚ stems‚ roots and flowers in the form of water vapor. It creates a pulling. Force which causes continuous upward movement of water and mineral salts and this force is called transpiration pull. Apart from to water‚ gas like carbon dioxides from the air can also pass through by the pore of the surface of the plants for photosynthesis. But in this experiment‚ we

In bio lab‚ my lab partners and I did a lab experiment involving yeast fermentation. Fermentation is an anaerobic process to regenerate NAD+ to keep glycolysis active. Yeast preforms ethanol fermentation which create ethanol and NAD+. The class used six different types of sugars to determine which fuels fermentation by measuring the amount the carbon dioxide bubbles produced by the yeast. Yeast are single-cell fungi that cannot make their own food. They take the sugars in the surrounding environment

The Effect of Different Types of Insulation on Heat Retention Aim I am going to investigate the effect of different types of material on heat retention. "Which of the four materials‚ cotton‚ foam‚ aluminium foil and bubble wrap‚ is the best insulator?" Hypothesis The four materials tested in this experiment are cotton‚ foam‚ aluminium foil‚ and bubble wrap. Materials that are good insulators will absorb heat slowly and therefore the water inside the cup will stay warm for

Ecology ➢ Climate is weather conditions of a region like temperature‚ humidity‚ precipitation‚ sunlight pressure‚ winds‚ throughout the year over a period of time ➢ Ecology – is the study of the interactions between organisms and the environment ➢ Abiotic factors –temperature and water ➢ Microclimate – a classification at the small scale variation ➢ Dispersal – movement away fro origin ➢ Macroclimate – a classification at the global and regional level

b 1 Exercise 1: Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid‚ such as water. Since virtually every living organism requires oxygen to survive‚ it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams‚ lakes and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measure in units of ppm—or parts per million. Examine the data in Table 2 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from; finally

Hypothesis 1: It was hypothesized that the growth and seed pod production in the standard plants would increase when less competitors were present and that growth would be more affected by competition than seed pod production would be. The data in Figure 1 and Figure 2 support this hypothesis; the standard plant grew the most when it was in a container alone and‚ on average‚ produced more seeds when no competitors were present (Figure 1). Though growth and seed pod production had similar trends

It studies the size‚ composition and distribution of a population‚ and the process through which a population changes. Demography allows us to track changes over time and to depict how different periods in history change population dynamics. Births‚ deaths‚ migration and emigration‚ jointly produced the change within a population (Biological Science). Demography
