Investigative Quest The purpose of this experiment was to find out how music affects the female human heart rate. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that female resting heart rate will increase as the music tempo increases. If the tempo is slower the heart rate will stay at resting heart rate or decrease. Variables The variables used in this experiment were: • The tempo of the music. • The subject’s heart rate. • The subject’s age. Controls The controls used in this experiment were: • How long the subject

Osmosis Lab Introduction: In order for cells to interact with their environment‚ molecules must be able to move through the cell membrane. Movement within the cell occurs by diffusion. Molecules move through the cell membrane by osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This happens because of random molecular motion. Molecules move around randomly until there is an even mixture throughout cell and mixture. The overall

Alisha Prakash Biol 111-513 The Properties of Water; Osmosis and Diffusion Hypothesis: When animal and plant cells are placed in a solution‚ the movement of water is effected by the solute concentration of the solution. If animal and plant cells are placed in a more concentrated solution‚ the solution becomes hypertonic to the cells‚ causing water to exit the cells. This changes the appearance of the cells‚ causing the cells to look darker (more concentrated) and shriveled up. Null Hypothesis:

poikilotherm as its body temperature fluctuates based on its surrounding environment. Like most fish‚ the goldfish depends on a balanced metabolism to survive; therefore‚ it is important to understand the relation that these poikilotherms have with their environment. An environmental factor that regulates metabolism is temperature. Since fish have temporal ranges that determine their overall success it is important to understand their metabolic process at various temperatures. Other studies show that

Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. It always navigates to the area of the membrane with a higher solute concentration. We take a closer look at the effects of osmosis in this lab through the examination of red blood cells (sheep)‚ plant cells (elodea)‚ and active transport in yeast. Under the microscope‚ we can determine the effects on plant and animal cells exposed to hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic sodium chloride solutions. Plant cells have a cell wall; however‚ animal cells

LABORATORY 3 The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of PNPP Hydrolysis Partners: Shelby Cruickshanks Alexis Williamson Introduction Most of the chemical reactions‚ which occur throughout our bodies‚ would proceed at a much slower rate of reaction without the presence of an enzyme. Cells can not wait for centuries for molecules to break down‚ if they waited for that‚ there would be no way for the organism to obtain energy or in turn survive. This is where biological catalyst comes into
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Catalysis
In this lab‚ I was testing different temperatures and how it affects the time catalase takes for it to break down peroxide. The problem that i was investigating is how does temperature affect the time it takes for catalase to break down peroxide. My independent variable for this lab was the temperature of the solution the enzyme is in. My dependent variable in this experiment was rate of reaction or the amount of time it takes to sink and rise. My hypothesis is that if the temperature is higher than

Introduction The heart is an extremely important organ in the human body‚ and it must be able to adjust the heart rate for when a person is resting or for when a person is running. Heart rate is defined as the number of heartbeats per unit of time‚ usually per minute (Medicine-Net). The heart rate is based on the number of contractions of the ventricles. The pulse is defined as a bulge of an artery from waves of blood that course through the blood vessels each time the heart beats (Medicine-Net)

the difference in heart rates before and during intense exercise. Aim: The aim of the investigation was to discover how the heart rate varied with the intensity of exercise. The heart rate is a term describing the regularity of the cardiac cycle. The heart rate is the amount of times it contracts (beats) in a unit of time‚ nearly always per minute. At rest the adult female’s heart rate regulates 75 bpm (beats per minute) but this varies between people. If the heart rate is measured before‚ during

human heart rate. To test this‚ we did two full laps of the oval‚ and measured our resting heart rate‚ just before the test‚ just after test and also our recovery rate after the test. Below are the graphs that show the different heart rates of our group of three. We conducted this experiment in a group of three so we could compare results and‚ if the results were different‚ analyse and research why we each had different results. Aim- The purpose of this test was to record how our heart rate would change
