To investigate the effect of different caffeine concentration on the heartbeat rate of Daphnia at room temperature. Introduction: Caffeine is found‚ and produced in many plant species to function as a natural pesticide‚ and as an inhibitor of seed germination of other nearby coffee seedlings to give it a better chance of survival. Caffeine is able to paralyze and kill certain insects upon feeding on the plants that produce caffeine. Coffee‚ tea and cocoa are common caffeine-containing

think that more oxygen will be released from the Hydrogen Peroxide and Catalyse. We will be measuring the two main factors: - * Oxygen - the amount released from the Hydrogen peroxide * Time - The duration of the reaction The room temperature may be a factor that will affect our results.

lower the amount of energy needed in a chemical reaction. This happens because enzymes are catalysts‚ so they speed up the activation rates that occur in living organisms. Without enzymes‚ it would be difficult to break down particles like food in the digestion system. Enzymes are all very specific to what chemical reactions they will work with‚ and the temperature‚ pH‚ and salt concentration have to be a specific levels in order for the enzyme to function. The structure of each enzyme has a fixed

it is synthesis chemical process which creates new products. However‚ the rate of a reaction can be altered either faster or slower depending on certain variables. These variables are concentration‚ temperature‚ surface area‚ and catalysts. A reaction can be made faster or slower with a variation in the concentration of reactants; a reaction goes faster when there is an increase in concentration of a reactant. Temperature allows the reactants to react faster‚ and increasing the amount of energy taken

cell had to draw in extra salt following the substantial weight loss from the 3% salt solution. Thus‚ the cell immersed in the 5% salt solution gained weight following the 3% salt solution. This could be examined further in another study regarding osmosis and weight gain in plant cells. In Figure 2‚ it highlights that the average weight (g) from the individual data had a higher ‘before weight (g)’‚ compared to the class data‚ which had a lower ‘before weight (g)’. It is assumed that this is due to

As the temperature increased‚ the enzyme activity also increased‚ however‚ only to an optimal level which was at temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient

http://thegrabup.com/?p=811 Significance Of Osmosis (700-1200) Osmosis is a process of movement of solvent through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to equalize the concentration of solute to both side of the membrane. . Water is sometimes called "the perfect solvent‚" and living tissue (for example‚ a human being’s cell walls) is the best example of a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis process as demonstrated below shows that when

showed that an increase in concentration of the reacting species resulted in an increase in reaction rate. Both graphs have a positive gradient which clearly indicates that concentration increases the reaction rate. The hypothesis also proposed that as temperature increases the speed of the reaction would decrease‚ this is evidenced in graph 7 which shows a negative decrease in time as the temperature of the solution increases. This decrease can be modelled by the exponential formula T=12.9e-0.0249t

Is There A Relationship Between Body Temperature and Heart Rate? Statement of Research Question: This study sets out to determine whether there exists a difference in the average body temperature between males and females. Furthermore‚ the study aims to determine whether an increase in heart rate corresponds with an increase in body temperature. Data Collection: The data was obtained from the article “What’s Normal? -- Temperature‚ Gender‚ and Heart Rate” (Shoemaker‚ Allen 1996) as found in
