Aim: To investigate the effect of skin sensitivity in response to cold temperature in different parts of the body by timing the maximum amount of time in which ice-pack can be held to that area. Hypothesis: If the layer of skin is relatively thin‚ the nerve response to cold will be the fastest‚ increasing the skin’s sensitivity. This therefore means that the fastest responses to cold will be in the face‚ and specifically the nose. The skin consists of 3 main layers; the epidermis‚ dermis and

10.1.3 CROSSING OVER Outline the process of crossing over in : Meiosis 1: • Prophase I - homologous chromosomes are paired up tightly into tetrads‚ then crossing over‚ the exchange of genetic material between the DNA in these tetrads occurs‚ forming a chiasmata‚ an x-shaped structure. • Metaphase I - paired chromosomes line up along the equator of a cell‚ the metaphase plate as the spindle microtubulue apparatus pulls them. • Anaphase I - The spindle microtubules pull homologous chromosomes

Title: Homeostasis Date: 19th January 2010 Aim: To observe‚ draw and label the parts of a nephron. Apparatus: Slide of the transverse section of a kidney Pencil Paper Microscope Method: The slide of the transverse section of a kidney was mounted on the microscope and observed under high power. Drawings of the parts of the nephron were made. Calculations of Magnification: Loop of Henle One Ocular Division = 0.22 µm Size of Specimen = 2 ocular divisions Conversion of Ocular

Diffusion and Osmosis Through Dialysis tubing We did this experiment to test the diffusion of different substances through dialysis tubing. We used what we knew about diffusion to make predictions on what we thought the mass of the dialysis tubing to be after submerging them for 30 mins and we knew that diffuse occurs from highest concentration to lowest concentration. Since the dialysis tubings are filled with different substances than what they are being put into then they should all gain

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis? Does the amount of light intensity increase the rate of photosynthesis in a pondweed? Design aspect 1 Introduction My investigation will be centered on measuring the rate of photosynthesis and whether or not light intensity will affect it. The formula of photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide + water oxygen + glucose with the arrow referring to light energy as a means to convert the CO2 and H2O into oxygen and glucose. Logically‚ one would

How to find success in IB Biology The International Baccalaureate program offers many classes in the vast majority of SL and HL credits with the program and does so with the science section of the program. There are many different HL science classes that can be taken in IB but here at Edison‚ there are only two classes offered once you become a senior who is looking to take an HL science class. The two choices are HL Physics and HL Biology. Both are arguably the toughest IB classes offered at Edison

procedure was to take different food samples and use a device known as a calorimeter made from a can of aluminum‚ one large paper clips and a string of copper wire to measure the amount of thermal energy released during a reaction. By measuring the temperature difference before and after a reaction‚ the calorimeter indicates how much energy is released. From personal experiences I had previously learned about the release of energy from different types of food samples. For example‚ from a previous class

Alvaro Comino LAB REPORT 4 CONNECTIVE TISSUE (SPECIALIZED) I. Abstract In this experiment‚ identification and classification of different types of connective tissue was performed. Also‚ cells and extracellular matrix was to be identified in them. For this‚ different already prepared slides were chosen and observed under the microscope to then identify the different parts. II. Introduction Apart from the bone and cartilage‚ the rest of the specialized connective tissues are divided

Lab Report: Scientific Method Your Name: Alyssa Melincoff Purpose of this Lab What is the goal of this lab? What question is it trying to answer‚ or what problem is it trying to explain? To find out how table salt affects the boiling temperature of water. Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water? Adding
