experiment was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of movement of Porcellio scaber. Our prediction was that P. scaber would have faster rates of movement in hotter temperatures. We expected this response as P. scaber is an ectotherm. Hence‚ its body temperature is directly determined by the temperature of its environment (Mellanby 1939). Løkke and van Gestel (1998) stated that the rate of the metabolism is controlled by the environmental temperature for ectotherms. As seen by Wieser

A Different History * By Sujata Bhatt She explores values and believes She gives the universal theme of “acceptance of all cultures”. Lines run in religious and relevant tome but the poet immediately shifts to bitterness and wonder. She uses free verse‚ repeated words and questions to make the poem stronger. There are both types of word used. Formal and informal. Formal: Dead‚ sacred‚ emigrated Informal : shove‚ small‚ toss. The poem is a free verse si it relates to how the Indian

is which type of temperature change will result from heating ice to liquid‚ then boil (steam)? What will happen to the water after the boil? I hypothesise the water heats ice to liquid and then goes to simmer and boil. The independent variable is the hot plate changed to a burner itself. The dependent variable is what we are measuring is the time. The steps in the lab were to first start off with a burner‚ ice and water in a beaker‚ then record time and water temperature. Also‚ some phase

What is the Effect of the Colour of Light on the Rate of Photosynthesis? By Amelia Rowan‚ 12SDa Aim To discover whether the colour of the light source has any effect on the rate of photosynthesis of a sample of algae. Hypothesis It was predicted that the colour of the light source would have a very slight effect on the rate of photosynthesis. It was further predicted that when the sample was placed under the green light‚ the rate of photosynthesis would be the lowest. This hypothesis was arrived

In its simplicity‚ it explains the process that our bodies (mainly cells) use all the time. It also showed me that even with the temperature changing‚ it doesn’t drastically change the rate of diffusion. Introduction Diffusion is important in all living systems. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration (Purchon 1). Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration

Experiment simulations examine substances that move passively through a semipermeable membrane‚ and those that require active transport. Those that move passively through the membrane will do so in these simulations by facilitated

A Different story-Sujata Bhatt The poem a different story was written by Sujata Bhatt‚ who was born on the 6th May 1956 in Ahmedabad‚ and brought up in Pune until 1968. Many of her poems have themes of love and violence. Bhatt explores issues such as racism and the interaction between Asian‚ European and North American. Sujata Bhatt has experienced three different cultures: the Indian culture‚ American culture and the German culture she has had to adapt to all of them and now she cannot tell us
