This I Believe I believe in caffeine. I believe in caffeine because it keeps me alert‚ not quite awake‚ but alert. After a full night of studying‚ cramming on procrastinated homework‚ or just refusing to go to sleep‚ caffeine keeps you alert enough to be aware of the happenings of your day. But why would a 17 year old girl believe in caffeine‚ a chemical usually depended upon by truck drivers and stressed out adults working a daily 9-5? This is because of a 17 year old girl’s awareness of the

Effects of Raising Interest Rates If a central bank increases the base rate‚ this tends to increase all major interest rates in the economy. This means interest rates for both savers and borrowers will increase. Higher interest rates will have various economic effects: 1. Increases the cost of borrowing. Interest payments on credit cards and loans will be more expensive. Therefore this discourages people from borrowing and saving. People who already have loans will have less disposable income

Homeostasis of BP and Heart Rate A normal blood pressure can be identified by having a systolic pressure of around 120 and a diastolic pressure of around 80. This value is expressed as "120/80". A normal heart rate is expressed as the amount of times it beats in a minute; a normal adult heart rate is between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). There is a relation between these two measurements‚ but they are stimulated by several different circumstances. The blood pressure is mainly affected

Chemical Kinetics Factors Affecting Reaction Rate OVERVIEW Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment you will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: nature of reactants - particle size temperature concentration catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for the

Experiment 11b: Isolation of Caffeine from a Tea Bag October 12‚2012 Purpose: The objective of this experiment is to extract caffeine from tea bags using the method of extraction. After the caffeine is extracted it is then compared to the nutritional facts amount per serving on the tea bags box. Supplies: Glassware: 1. 50.0 m L graduated cylinder 2. 150.0 mL beaker 3. 2-glass stirring rod 4. 6-test tubes 5. 2-glass pipettes 6. 2-50.0 mL Erlenmeyer flasks 7. glass funnel Hardware:

[Type text] [Type text] [Type text] _An experiment on the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of osmosis of Solanum tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

Title : Comparing the rates of pulmonary and cutaneous respiration in frogs Introduction Frogs are amphibians that live in moist environments to support one of their key mechanisms of respiration. Frogs have the ability to breathe many diverse ways‚ due to their unusual life cycle and aquatic and terrestrial environment. The Order Anura shows the extreme anatomical and physiological diversity. Many frogs use lungs to respire‚ bringing in air through their nares‚ mouth‚ into the trachea and then to
