Purpose: To investigate how the concentration of vitamin C in Vitafresh powdered fruit juice changes over time once made into a solution. Justification: Vitafresh claims to contain “more vitamin C... than orange juice‚”[footnoteRef:0] which‚ with the upcoming winter season‚ would make it a suitable alternative to orange juice for combating sickness. The average daily requirement of vitamin C in an adult is 65-90mg per day‚[footnoteRef:1] so it is important to consider the quantity of Vitamin C

Abstract This experiment focuses on the effects water bath temperatures have on D. melanogaster entering and recovering an anoxic coma. It was found that there was an indirect relationship between the amount of time it took D. melanogaster to enter and recover from an anoxic coma and the temperature of the water bath. D. melanogaster was able to enter and recover from the anoxia coma quicker when they were drowned in a cold water bath condition when comparing these results to the warm water bath

Discussion: Referring to the hypothesis we predicted in the beginning of this experiment that under ideal conditions‚ we hypothesized that the results will eventually follow the Hardy-Weinberg expectations‚ which means the genotypes frequencies of the Drosophila melanogaster would remain constant; Therefore‚ no evolution had happened to the flies under the ideal conditions. After the chi-squared values were found in each week (table 1)‚ in the third generation where the chi-squared was found to

7 July 2013 Brain regions where ideas become contagious identified by Will Parker How do ideas spread? Why do some videos go viral? UCLA scientists have taken a first step toward answering these questions by identifying the brain regions associated with the successful spread of ideas. The research‚ reported in the journal Psychological Science‚ has broad implications and could lead to more persuasive advertisements and better ways for teachers to communicate with students.

One day I noticed that the bananas in my kitchen were always turning brown quickly. I wondered which fruit decomposes the fastest. Id ecided to compare a banana‚ pear‚ apple‚ strawberry‚ and orange. I gathered my materials: 1 of each fruit‚ 5 see-through disposable plastic containers‚ and my camera (so I could take pictures of the fruits). My hypothesis was that the strawberry would rot first‚ followed by the banana‚ then the pear‚ and then the apple. I didn’t think the orange would even rot at all

goes by that we do and don’t think of the banana. We hardly give much thought to the fruit that we nearly all eat everyday. The banana never fails us as a fruit; it is always (approximately) the same size‚ shape‚ and color. Yet‚ this is also the downfall our banana. The lack of genetic variation of our banana is what can wipe it out with a single strand of disease. Dan Koeppel‚ in his book Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World‚ takes us through the history of the banana‚ from the very

Fruit Fly Lab Alycia Fletcher Biology IB HL March 25th 2010 Fruit Fly Lab Introduction Genes can either be sex-linked or autosomal. If a gene appears mostly in one sex chances are the gene is sex-linked and if it appears frequently in both sexes it is most likely autosomal. Using Drosophila melanogaster‚ also known as the fruit fly‚ we will determine whether the gene is sex-linked or autosomal. Drosophila melanogasters have a relatively short life span and are an excellent organism
