Effect of Substrate Choice On Growth Of Mealworms Abstract: The experiment is designed to show which substrate A or B will better nourish a mealworm. A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth

A mealworm was placed in each substrate for a period of seven days and the change in mass from Day 1 to Day 7 was compared. The data was compiled and statistically analyzed. The experiment failed to reject the null hypotheses that there would be no difference in the two substrates regarding meal worm growth. The conclusion that there was a difference

The objective of the mealworm experiment was to see if the mealworms would gain weight in either peat moss or wheat germ. The experiment included weighing Mealworm A and Mealworm B before putting Mealworm A in wheat germ and Mealworm B in peat moss both for 7 days. After a week they were weighed again and Mealworm A had lost weight and Mealworm B had gained . This concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected since only Mealworm B gained weight. Introduction The mealworm is not a worm. It is

Scientific Method - Mealworms Abstract The experiment is designed to determine which substrate‚ A (oat bran) or B (peat moss) will be better nourishment for a mealworm after exposed for 7 days. A total of 30 mealworms were placed in the substrates for a period of 7 days; 15 in substrate A and 15 in substrate B. The data was compiled and analyzed on day 7 to determine the change of mass in each of the mealworms. The experiment proved my hypothesis to be correct; the mealworms would not thrive

such as fructose. The enzyme helps a chemical reaction take place quickly so that the reaction happens properly. In order for that to happen the enzymes process by the lock and key model‚ the lock is the substrate and the enzyme is the key. The active sites are specific to a certain substrate of a molecule‚ so the enzymes only have one job to do. The shape of an enzyme is not changed or consumed during these reactions. However‚ without enzymes the reactions would take too long and would not breakdown

Mealworms eating Potatoes Report What will gain mass? What will lose mass? What color did the BTB change? What are atoms moving from? Where are they moving to? I predicted that the potato would lose mass‚ and the mealworms would gain mass. I predicted that the BTB would lose mass. My last prediction was that the atoms are moving from the potato and into the mealworms. Steps for our procedure: 1.)Get container deep enough so mealworms can’t crawl out‚ with holes for them to breathe. 2.)Record container

FORM CLASS: L6 3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without

Abstract In this experiment‚ the preferences of mealworms towards lighted and dark environments were tested. The main question posed was whether the behavior of the mealworms would be affected by the variable of light‚ and whether they would move towards or away from the light source (taxis). We placed ten mealworms into two adjoining containers and tried to simulate the effects of above ground and underground by exposing the mealworms to minimal amounts of light in one of the containers (underground)

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of ethanol on the cellular respiration of mealworms. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells harvest the energy stored in food. It is the intake of oxygen and energy in the form of glucose‚ and the cells ability to break it down into carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and energy required for the body to function. More scientifically‚ it is a three-step pathway that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate.) The three stages of cellular
