[Type text] [Type text] [Type text] _An experiment on the effect of surface area to volume ratio on the rate of osmosis of Solanum tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

experiment is to determine the rate law and the activation energy for the reaction between persulfate ion‚ S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-: S2O82-(aq) + 2 I-(aq) 2 SO42-(aq) + I2(aq) The rate law can be written as Reaction rate = (1) Where m and n are the orders with respect to S2O82- and I-‚ respectively‚ and k is the rate constant. Determining the rate law involves determining the values of m and n. The temperature dependence of the rate constant is given by (2)

Science investigation Aim: To try to see if the temperature affects the rate in which Amylase breaks down starch into maltose. In this reaction starch is the substrate and maltose is the product. Amylase is an enzyme‚ Enzymes‚ also called catalysts‚ are in living things and there are thousand of them. Enzymes break down food by the active site on the Enzyme forming a chemical bond with a substrate and then water attacks the substrate until it is hydrolysed (split in 2). Equipment: Boiling

Next I will pour the Zinc into the test tube containing CuSO4. 3.Finally I will measure the final temperature using a thermometer and record the temperature rise in °c. (I will carry out all my experiments under lab safety precautions.) Variables *I will vary the mass of Zinc‚ & use the following Zinc weights:

butterflies need to regulate their body temperatures through thermoregulation. There are two types of ways to regulate body temperature. The first one is ectothermy. Ectothermic animals‚ or cold-blooded animals‚ rely on outside sources to heat or cool themselves. Cold-blooded animals can lie under the hot sun to heat themselves up and prepare for flight or to move around. However‚ if there is no source of heat‚ they are not able to raise their body temperature to the correct level for movement. Butterflies

Rates of Reaction Coursework Aim: To find out how different concentrations of sodium thiosulphate (Na S2 O3) affects the speed of its reaction with Hydrochloric acid (HCL). Introduction When Sodium Thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid react they produce a cloudy precipitate. Both of the chemicals are clear solutions and they react together to form a yellow precipitate of sulphur‚ the equation for this reaction is: Na2 S2 O3 + HCL‚ H2 O + NaCL + SO2 + S Sodium Thiosulphate + Hydrochloric

Effect of Temperature on Enzymes ~Abstract~ In this experiment the effect of different types of temperatures on enzyme activity was examined. The temperature baths that were used to test the difference in enzyme activity on fresh liver were; 4 °C‚ room temperature which was 22°C‚ body temperature which is 37°C‚ and 77°C. The total time of each trial was 2 and a half minute‚ 1 minute for the H2O2 to acclimatize to the temperature‚ 1 and a half minutes for the reaction to occur. Catalase causes Hydrogen

The Effect of Caffeine 1% and 2% on Daphnia magna’s Heart Rate Abstract: Ectothermic animals are animals whose body temperature is affected by their surroundings. This means that if the environment is cold the animal will be cold. If the environment is warm the animal will be warm. This is because the animal doesn’t have the capability of regulating its body systems to keep a constant body temperature. When an ectothermic animal is cold‚ its heart rate will lower. When
