classic‚ simple‚ ordinary goldfish; however‚ due to genetic mutation‚ a new‚ unique version of the species was born‚ the see-through goldfish. This goldfish was created due to the efforts in reducing the need for student dissections‚ as all its functioning organs are completely seen through‚ due to its pigment-less‚ fully transparent‚ scales and skin. This see-through goldfish can live up to 20 years and even get as heavy as five pounds! The mutation causing this unique goldfish was exclusively from

Report: Respiration Abstract: The objective of this lab was to figure out which has a higher cell respiration rate between crayfish and elodea. In order to figure this out we first set up three beakers to represent our control‚ elodea and crayfish and filled them with 75mL of culture solution which were dechlorinated making the solution acidic. We then had to place both the elodea and the crayfish in separate beakers filled with 25mL of water. The increase in volume of the water would represent the

candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount of water in the balloon. 2. Inflate the yellow colored balloon

The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Yeast Respiration Abstract Carbon dioxide is a waste product of yeast respiration. A series of experiment was conducted to answer the question; does temperature have an effect on yeast respiration? If the amount of carbon dioxide is directly related to temperature‚ then varying degrees of temperature will result in different rates of respiration in yeast. The experiment will be tested using yeast and sugar at different water temperatures. I

Experiment 3: Solution Calorimetry: Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate II. Abstract A determination of thermodynamic variables of KNO3 is presented. KNO3 was heated and dissolved in varying volumes of distilled water. Upon dissolution‚ the KNO3 solution was removed from heat and the temperature was recorded once crystals formed. For each solution‚ ∆G the Ksp were found with the temperature and molarity values. ∆H and ∆S were found through the linearization of the data with

“Investigate the factors affecting the rate of yeast respiration” Lab Report Introduction The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of different amounts of a substrate on the respiration rate of yeast and to compare this to the effect of different amounts of glucose on the rate of yeast respiration. The substrate which I chose to further investigate was fructose. Fructose is a fruit sugar which is one of the three‚ along with glucose and galactose‚ dietary monosaccharides that

Aim The purpose of this experiment was to plan‚ design‚ fabricate and test the structure of a microfluidic flow structure. Background Microfluidic structures are a relatively new topic of study. While the concept of fluids and the study of the flow of fluids through all sorts of various forms of ducts‚ environments and scenarios have been extensively studied by some of the greatest minds of in history‚ the novelty of microfluidics is not surprising. This is due to the fact that despite the fact

Goldfish Research Report The fascinating creature called Carassius gibelio more commonly known as the goldfish have many interesting talents and features. Goldfish are very nice animals that people don’t know much about‚ and people don’t care about. Gold fish can see four different colors red‚ green‚ blue and the most interesting because humans can’t see it‚ ultra violet (Curious Kids Press Goldfish). A goldfish is a beautiful and compelling animal that people should learn more about. A goldfish

Critical Review 1 Competition between Chara aspera and Potamogeton pectinatus as a function of temperature and light Introduction In the article “Competition between Chara aspera and Potamogeton pectinatus as a function of temperature and light” by authors Marcel S. Van den Berg‚ Hugo Coop‚ Jan Simons and Annemarie de Keizer‚ it was theorized that one type of aquatic plant may be a better competitor for sunlight than another plant that is more of a bottom dweller

just like other organisms‚ they must respire in order to survive. Respiration can be defined as the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The type of respiration that occurs is called aerobic respiration. It occurs when glucose and oxygen are present. It can be summarized by the equation: . Enzymes play a very significant part in respiration. During the different stages of respiration‚ enzymes that are often found in the matrix of the mitochondria
