This experiment focuses on the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. In simple terms this refers to how the production rate of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen and glucose) will be affected by a light source at different distances. The hypothesis states that “If there is a higher light intensity‚ then more oxygen and glucose molecules will be produced‚ and the rate of photosynthesis will increase.” This hypothesis was accepted. This was determined by counting the number of

Caffeine has an effect on your heart rate‚ (this is how fact your hear beats) Caffeine is able to change the way your body and mind works Chocolate is known to have traces of caffeine in it also The aim What is the point this experiment;- My aim in this experiment is to see what effects caffeine is prone to on the heart rate‚ Also to compare someone’s heart rate who has consumed caffeine to someone’s who hasn’t. This should give us a

three times as much carbohydrate for fuel ethanol production (Comis‚ 2008). Ethanol production from fresh cassava roots using a low-temperature process was evaluated on a pilot-plant scale. The application of low-temperature cooking to cassava starch followed by a dual enzyme action resulted in an ethanol yield comparable to that of a traditional high-temperature cooking process. Pressurized distillation gave a satisfactory recovery efficiency of ethanol but was slightly lower than that obtained

analysing the graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size

efficient. This is when ethanol made its debut into the fuel industry‚ as an additive to gasoline. Ethanol is put into gas as a combatant against water‚ which can find its way into fuel tanks of vehicles. It reduces the effect that this water has on the health of the vehicle‚ and as a result increases gas mileage‚ and also increases the amount of complete combustion. Ethanol consumption has severe drawbacks pertaining to its effect on the environment. Production of ethanol increases the formation

In the experiment‚ as the size of the cube decreased‚ the absorption rate increased‚ showing that the smaller cells absorbed more sodium hydroxide than bigger cells. The smaller cells were able to absorb more sodium hydroxide as they have a bigger surface area to volume ratio causing them to act more efficiently than the bigger cells. The smallest cell had a ratio of 1:12 while the biggest cell had a ratio of 1:2‚ leaving a gap of 5:12 causing the bigger cell to act less efficient in absorbing the
