My SRP is determining if the colour of ice affects its melting rate. Ice melts by taking in energy from its surroundings to form heat. This makes the molecules in the ice cube vibrate. As the overall vibration increases‚ the water molecules split from each other turning the ice from a frozen state to a liquid state. Heat can be absorbs in two different ways‚ through direct contact with a hot surface or through radiation of a hot surface nearby. Radiant heat can be contributed by sunlight‚ fires and

The heart is a vital organ in the human body. Though only the size of the fist‚ it pumps blood to the rest of the body by rhythmic expansion and relaxation. The frequency of this cardiac cycle is measured by the term heart rate. The heart rate is the number of contractions (beats) of the heart in a minute. The heart rate tends to increase with response to a wide variety of conditions like vigorous physical activity or according to our hypothesis‚ music. Music has an arousal effect which is related

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 and aerobically to produce CO2 and alcohol in a process known as fermentation (Barrio‚ 2009). It does this by breaking down the sugars (in the process outlined

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

human’s heart rate to speed up‚ decrease‚ or stay the same‚ the volume of sound has a high effect on the heart. However‚ if people will let down the volume of sound‚ others would not be mannered by the increase in volume managing to the deadly heart attack. Sound within the community‚ for instance‚ traffic can cause a human’s heart rate of increase. Problem of heartbeat tends to be solved by seeing what kind of sound causes the increase of heart rates to place a termination to increase of heart rate

Chemistry IA How does the molecular mass of alcohols affect its rate of evaporation? Introduction Alcohols are some of the most important molecules in organic chemistry. They can be converted into many different types of compounds. Alcohols contain the hydroxyl functional group (-OH)‚ bonded to a carbon atom of an alkyl or substituted alkyl group. The weight of the different compounds will differs because of the amount of hydrogen bonding. There are three kind of alcohols‚ primary‚ secondary

The graph shows that the respiration rate does increase as the yeast concentration rises‚ but levels off and eventually reached its saturation point‚ or decline‚ which occurs at 8.5g. This decline may occur because there are too many yeast molecules in comparison to the glucose‚ which may lead to yeast cells hindering a collision thus lessening the reaction. The respiration rate increases as more yeast is added because it gives more opportunities for molecular collisions and so the amount of successful

The affect of temperature on the rate of movement of woodlice Aim: The aim of this experiment is to establish whether a change in temperature affects the rate in which woodlouse move. I measured the rate by timing the woodlouse to move a set distance of 20cm‚ and altered the surrounding temperature by submerging a clear tube in water with different temperatures controlled by a water bath. Research: It is to be believed there over 3000 different species of woodlice‚ a total of 42 species

Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound light microscope
