the lower the gross primary productivity values. Variables: Control- The group with zero salt added. Dependent- Dissolved oxygen reading. Independent- The salt concentration in the water. Introduction: On the surface waters of lakes and oceans‚ plants are mainly unicellular algae‚ and most consumers are microscopic crustaceans and protozoans. Both the producers and consumers are very small‚ and they are easily contained in a liter of water. If you put these organisms in a bottle and turn on the

et al Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to determine how light affected photosynthesis‚ specifically the production of O2 bubbles. It was predicted that when the light was more intense the O2 bubble production will be high. Conversely‚ when the light was less intense the O2 bubble production will be lower. Basically the plant that is closer to the light will produce more bubbles than the plant that is placed farther away from the light source. In this lab the independent variable is the light

Distance from Light Source on the Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: The effect of distance from the light source on the rate of photosynthesis was tested in this experiment. This was tested to find ways to accelerate the rate of photosynthesis. If plants are placed closer to a source of light‚ then their rate of photosynthesis will be higher because they are receiving more light. Experimental Design: The independent variable is the distance of the beaker from the light source. Beaker #1 is six

This lab experiment investigates the effect of listening to different types of music on one’s pulse. The experiment relates the circulatory system to the pulse as it measures how quickly the heart contracts and releases blood. Pulse is measured in beats per minute (bpm). One’s pulse is loudest near the heart‚ because there is more pressure closer to the heart. In contrast‚ one’s pulse is quieter the further away it is measured from the heart‚ because there is less pressure the further the distance

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to observe the effects of chemical warfare among plants. Plant seeds compete with other plants and seeds‚ for sunlight‚ and nutrients in order to germinate. In order to win dominance over other seeds‚ and reduce competition‚ plants produce and release a chemical in order to prevent other seeds from germination. This type of chemical warfare is referred to as allelopathy. Allelopathy exists in many parts of the plants such as leaves‚ roots‚ stems‚ or fruits

For this lab‚ the expected outcomes are that when the heart rate and blood pressure are measured‚ both will increase when the heart has to pump against gravity‚ after exercise the heart rate will increase then return to normal‚ and as the subject inhales‚ it will be lower than when they exhale. Methods For this lab report‚ the laboratory manual (2009) was used for all labs. While completing lab five‚ electrodes were hooked up to the subject. After calibration for this lab‚

is effective in preventing sunburn in sun-sensitive people‚ reducing the risk of breast cancer and other diseases‚ preventing asthma attacks caused by exercise‚ as well as many other uses. Chlorophyll is the green‚ light-capturing pigment found in plants. Chlorophyll (like heme in red blood cells) is an example of porphyrin. In this experiment‚ chlorophyll and ß-carotene were isolated using the technique of column chromatography. Column chromatography is a method used to separate and purify components

found over range of continents and have common characteristics with plants and animals. There are many types of Biomes on earth. BIomes are distinct from habitats‚ because any biome can comprise a variety of habitats. In our lab we had figure out the major components in a biome. For example‚ like the weather‚ what animals live in it‚ plant life‚ etc… And answer key questions to why something happens in a Biome. And how species and plant life depend on each other to survive in this biome. In order to

[Name] [Teacher] [Course] [Date] Catalase Lab Report An enzyme is something that helps to speed up a chemical reaction. The enzyme changes from reaction to reaction‚ but it always has the same impact. However‚ certain variables may cause the enzyme to have a more or less significant impact on the speed of each reaction. One of these variables that changes the effectiveness of an enzyme is temperature. There is an optimal functioning temperature for each enzyme in each reaction‚ depending on

Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell
