heart rate/ breathing rate? Justification Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries‚ caused by pumping of heart. Pulse can be measured on the wrist‚ neck‚ back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising so knowing how to take your pulse can help you

compounds into organic substances with the subsequent release. There are many factors which can have an effect on the process of photosynthesis; in this laboratory experiment‚ the focus lies on carbon dioxide (CO2) availably and its effect on photosynthesis. By understanding the component that affect the rate of photosynthesis‚ one can do work to try and increase the rate of photosynthesis. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to determine which solution would have the highest impact on oxygen

temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient energy for the substrates to move at a fast rate‚ hence decreased the number of collisions with the enzymes. However

variables allowed for the experiment to be conducted accurately‚ with unexpected results. This is due to the enzymes being most active at 60ᵒC‚ it was that results were going to be most active at the 41ᵒC which is close to human body temperature. When we compare the enzyme in the low temperatures to the enzymes in the higher temperature we observed that the enzymes were functioning at a significantly reduced rate at the 24ᵒC temperature and was completely inactive at the 0ᵒC temperature. Whereas when

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

Introduction Cell respiration is the process of a cell converting sugars into ATP (energy) in the mitochondrion. It is an essential process which enables organisms to survive and function (Biology Online‚ 2010). Not only does it produce ATP‚ but also carbon dioxide (though decarboxylation)‚ NADH and FADH and in the case of some organisms‚ alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisia‚ a bacterium commonly known as yeast‚ is used in various aspects of life‚ from winemaking to baking. It respires both anaerobically

results‚ we can see this‚ as the iced water (10 degrees) had the slowest rate of reaction at 1.10 minutes. Then the room temperature water (19 degrees) was tested and had a slightly better rate of reaction at 1.09 minutes. Then last of all‚ we tested the boiling water (63 degrees) which had a large improvement from the last two with a rate of reaction of 43.5 seconds. This showing development in the rate of reaction in all three experiments and that the higher the temperature the faster the rate of reaction

‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

Methods We began this experiment by turning the Spectrophotometer to 605 nm absorbance‚ and setting up each of the tubes as stated in Table 7-2*‚ ignoring the DPIP until the rest of the sample was set up. Once all of the samples were set up accordingly‚ we blanked the spectrophotometer‚ and added the DPIP to the sample right before‚ inverting the sample and taking a reading at the Zero time mark‚ and placing the sample in the designated light apparatus‚ Sample 1 was wrapped in aluminum foil to

In the Calvin cycle‚ carbon atoms from CO2 are fixed and used to build three-carbon sugars. This process is fueled by‚ and dependent on‚ ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions‚ which take place in the thylakoid membrane‚ the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to
