Purpose Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result

Jars were filled with a 100ml of federalized water‚ and a mark at the 100ml was made as indication to ensure the correct amount of water was given if the jars needed to be topped up. With a Q-tip‚ 10 green Lemna leaves with growing roots were placed into each of the ten designated jars. The five room temperature jars were placed into

The Effect of Temperature on Blow-fly Larvae INTRODUCTION Calliphoridae- comonly known as a blowfly‚ are living organisms which usually are the first insects to colonise a body after death. The blowfly larvae are very useful in forensic entomology. The oldest larvae give an approximate time of death of body. Family: Calliphoridae Order: Diptera Name: Calliphora vicina Aim: To check the influence of temperature of environment on living functions and activity of Blow-fly larvae.

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

Temperature is one of the weather elements and measures the degree of hotness and coldness in a place. The temperature of a place is affected by a number of factors such as latitudinal location‚ seasonal variations‚ albedo of the place‚ contrasts between land and sea and elevation. Latitudinal location has the strongest influence on the climatic conditions on a macro/global scale. The rest of the factors then serves to modify these influences and are secondary‚ operating at a smaller scale. Latitude

This report will focus on thermoregulation‚ which is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ despite the fluctuating external environment. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body to maintain a core body temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius‚ despite the

Effect of Temperature on Solubility Lab Purpose: What is the solubility of minerals in water? What is the relationship between temperature and solubility? Hypothesis: If salt and sugar are each tested in water of varying temperatures‚ then salt and sugar’s solubility will increase as the temperature also increases. Materials: Two 250 mL beakers Tap water 100 mL graduated cylinder Hot plate Two petri dishes Glass stirring rod Salt Sugar Thermometer

Each enzyme has it optimum temperature range at which it functions at an optimum efficiency. In this experiment‚ Rennin might have an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as it is found in the stomachs of young mammals. As the temperature is increased‚ the rate of reaction (time for milk to curdle) will also increase until the optimum temperature is reached (37 degrees). After reaching this set point‚ the activity of the enzyme will gradually begin to decrease and the rate of reaction will

Results The diameter of the cylinder (D) is 0.01m and the length of the heater (L) = 0.07m. The emissivity of the surface was 0.95 and the Stefan Boltzmann constant was 56.7x10-9 Wm-2K-4. The room temperature was assumed to be 25°C which is 298.15K.
