In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

is activated by the rise in blood temperature and is responsible for for controlling the mechanisms that will decrease the blood temperature. Efferent nerve impulses are sent from the hypothalamus to multiple different corrective mechanisms to try to decrease the blood temperature and maintain it at approximately 37℃. The efferent nerve impulses causes the smooth muscles to relax and as a result‚ opens up blood capillaries near the surface of the skin. This is known as vasodilation as the blood

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Hematocrit Determination Learning Objectives 1. Understand the terms hematocrit‚ red blood cells‚ hemoglobin‚ buffy coat‚ anemia‚ and polycythemia. 2. Understand how the hematocrit (packed red blood cell volume) is determined. 3. Understand the implications of elevated or decreased hematocrit. 4. Understand the importance of proper disposal of laboratory material that comes into contact with blood. Data |Total height of blood column (mm)|Height of red blood cell layer (mm)|Height of buffy

water through a semipermeable membrane (dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis in different circumstances. Introduction: The main purpose of this lab was to observe diffusion and osmosis. This is demonstrated using dialysis tubing and a combination of monosaccharaides‚ disaccharides‚ water (H20)‚ and sodium chlorine

Since the Grignard reagent can easily react with water‚ all glassware including the 25 ml round bottom flask‚ magnetic stir bar‚ 3 and 5 ml conical vial‚ 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask‚ claisen adapter‚ drying tube and 5 glass pasteur pipets were first added to a 250mL beaker and placed in the oven for 30 minutes. After the completion of the thirty minutes‚ 0.150 g of shiny magnesium turnings and a stir bar was first added to the round bottom flask and the claisen adapter along with the drying tube packed

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

moves into the body and continues down a conveyer belt like chain of organs that break it down completely before it leaves the body. However‚ the maintenance of such a system is complex and relies on a balance of pH and helpful bacteria to maintain homeostasis. Both acidic and basic pH’s are required at various points in digestion to maintain balance during the process. Saliva in the mouth‚ the starting point of digestion‚ is only mildly acidic for the purpose of initially breaking down the food without
