Assignment: Do sports drinks really work? Question... How do sports drinks affect muscle reaction time? Hypothesis My hypothesis is if sport drinks are consumed‚ then the reaction rate will improve. Sport drinks provide individuals with the required amount of water‚ carbohydrates and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) which is lost in sweat while exercising. Maintaining adequate electrolyte levels will enable better cell function‚ which is needed for muscle endurance‚ among other bodily capabilities

Matthew J. Hornsey; Louise Majkut; Deborah J. Terry and Blake M. McKimmie of the University of Queensland‚ performed two conformity experiments on university students. These experiments were done too measure the influence of group norms on student ’s attitudes. Experiment one involved 205 university students who rated themselves as being pro-gay law reform. The students were given numerous questions that asked them to rate the moral basis for their attitude‚ and what they believed society ’s

When you start you should have put the gummy bear in the water and the other in the plastic bag. The one in the water at the beginning of the experiment had a thickness of 9mm a width of 11mm and a height of 22mm and it had a total mass of 2.59grams and a total volume of around 2178 mm 3 The one in the plastic bag is going to be the constant It massed at 2.53 grams and had a height of 21mm a width of 12mm and thickness of 11mm and a total volume of 2772mm3 .

For this experiment‚ there were four onion bulbs labeled A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. Bulbs B‚ C‚ and D were each immersed in a different concentration of coffee. Bulb A acted as the control because it was not immersed in any concentration of coffee; instead‚ the onion roots grew in water. The following is a list‚ in order‚ of the concentration of caffeine bulbs B‚ C‚ and D were in: 0.1%‚ 0.3%‚ and 0.5%. Four test tubes were gathered to set up the experiment‚ each holding an onion bulb. After each day‚ every

decreased with time. This happened because the difference in water potential between the inside and the outside of the beetroot time decreased as the experiment proceeded. Osmosis occurred most in distilled water because this contained the highest water potential when compared with the other beakers. Five concentration were used in this experiment in an attempt to try to find the concentration of sugar inside the beetroot. If such concentration was used there would have been neither a decrease an

Experiment: The purpose of this experiment was to test which variables affected the horses sympathetic nervous system leading the horse to stress and drooling. There were multiple variables tested such as the dilation of the horses eyes‚ if the horses ears were up and lastly if the horse drooled. In order to conduct this experiment‚ we had one horse getting honked at by a car and then testing those variables to

sandpaper at a 7. After two minutes elapsed‚ I again rubbed the sandpaper gently with my right index finger. My perception of the coarseness of the sandpaper did change during this experiment. On the second trial‚ the texture of the sandpaper felt smoother to the touch. I rated the coarseness at a 4 the second time. During this experiment‚ the sensory receptors located in the nerve endings on my fingertip responded to the presented stimulus‚ recognizing the pressure of touching the sandpaper. This

This experiment tested the growth of E.coli with inserted plasmid on an agar plate with Ampicillin. One colony of E.coli resistant to Ampicillin was grown during this experiment. The overall goal of the experiment was to successfully grow E.coli on the agar plate‚ which would show that the plasmid had been effectively inserted into the bacteria’s genes. This experiment helped students understand how plasmids were inserted into bacteria and used in real life situations. It also showed how the bacteria’s
