Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

Tori Suchy Physical Science Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials

Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen. When it occurs without oxygen‚ it is called anaerobic respiration. There are very few organisms that can get

Pixar Facts 1.) In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice in "The Incredibles‚" director Brad Bird made actor Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.4 2.) Every Friday during the production of “Brave‚” each Pixar employee was told to wear a kilt for the fun of it. 3.) Shortly after completing Toy Story‚ the Pixar chief creative staff of John Lasseter‚ Peter Docter‚ Joe Ranft and Andrew Stanton got together for a lunch meeting at the Hidden City Café in 1994 that would become one of

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the

Part 2: Safe work with large inductances 1. One of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of
