TITLE: Effect of the caffeine on the heart rate OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the caffeine on the heart rate of living organisms. INTRODUCTION: * Daphnia Daphnia are small‚ planktonic crustaceans‚ between 0.2 and 5 mm in length. Daphnia are members of the order Cladocera‚ and are one of the several small aquatic crustaceans commonly called water fleas because of their saltatory swimming style (although fleas are insects and thus only very distantly related). They

Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Permeability of Membranes The permeability of membranes can be altered in several ways. From previous preliminary work I know that reagents‚ for example detergents and alcohol alter the arrangement of the phospholipids in the membrane allowing substances to leak out of the cell. Temperature also affects the membrane. As membranes relay on protein molecules to allow molecules to enter and leave the cell through facilitated diffusion the temperature must not exceed

Effects of SO2 On Fermentation Rates Purpose SO2 is the primary inhibitor for natural microbiological growth in wine. It prevents the browning of juice by inhibiting phenol oxidase activity and kills the natural yeast cells for the utilization of fermentation-controlled commercial Saccharomyce strands (Boulton et al. 1996). SO2 is pH and temperature dependent and can exist as several forms. The bisulfate form (HSO3-) can complex with soluble solids such as anthocyanins and acetaldehydes to become

October 29‚ 2012 The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes Introduction: Cell membrane is the plasma like substance that separates different organelles and molecules within an organism. The cell membranes vital function is to permit passage of protein and enzymes through their wall. Red beets‚ also known as Beta Vulgaris has a red pigment that is located in its large central vacuoles. It is my hypothesis that if the cell membrane is to experience extreme temperatures‚ then it’s most likely

On the Kelvin scale‚ 0 degrees is absolute zero‚ the coldest possible temperature. Absolute zero is equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F) A. How does the change in temperature affect the speed of the molecules? __If the temperature is colder the molecules move slower and if the temperature is hotter the molecules move faster.

Introduction Cell respiration is the process of a cell converting sugars into ATP (energy) in the mitochondrion. It is an essential process which enables organisms to survive and function (Biology Online‚ 2010). Not only does it produce ATP‚ but also carbon dioxide (though decarboxylation)‚ NADH and FADH and in the case of some organisms‚ alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisia‚ a bacterium commonly known as yeast‚ is used in various aspects of life‚ from winemaking to baking. It respires both anaerobically

Effect of Temperature on Content of Vitamin C Introduction A daily intake of Vitamin C is essential for humans. Without it‚ the disease scurvy develops as sailors‚ explorers and people during the long winters in the Northern hemisphere found before the time of Captain Cook. The British Navy started giving sailors lime juice to prevent scurvy on long voyages in 1795. Vitamin C is found in high levels in foods such as oranges‚ limes‚ lemons‚ blackcurrants‚ parsley and capsicums. Vitamin C is water

To investigate the effect of variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot Aims In this investigation‚ you will subject fresh‚ washed beetroot discs to different temperatures to investigate the effect of temperature on the permeability of the plasma membrane. Overview The beetroot discs will be placed in distilled water at different temperatures. You will compare the intensity of the beetroot pigment that has leaked out from the cells subjectively and possibly
