the elevation of the organism and convection. For future experiments in this subject it would be more beneficial to test microhabitats that vary more in temperature to truly be able to analyze the factors of thermoregulation in microhabitats. Introduction: The thermoregulation of ectotherms such as reptiles and insects has increased in “concern about the impacts of global warming on biodiversity… into direct impacts on living animals that remain simplistic” (Kearney‚ Shine‚ Porter‚ 1).

When Chemicals React! Mr. Bell’s honors level chemistry class conducted an experiment during their lab demonstrations‚ this consisted of elements such as phosphorus and calcium chloride in their experiment. This along with another hydrogen based sunstance produced‚ what looked like a pinkish-looking substance inside of their flasks that were at their lab stations. Sophmore Kelly Caudel said‚ “ I actualley enjoy doing the experiments in this class‚ because it gives us a chance to get away from

Introduction Acid rain refers to a phenomenon in which "[precipitation] from the atmosphere [contains] higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids". The precipitation that results in acid rain comes from the pollution emitted by human activities‚ such as factories‚ electrical power plants and automobiles. Two main pollutants are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)‚ which reacts with substances in the atmosphere‚ such as water and oxygen‚ to form acid rain. While rain water

Experiment 42: Ferrocene Preparation Introduction: The purpose of the lab is to prepare ferrocene from ferrous chloride and cyclopentadiene. Ferrocene‚ an organometallic‚ is a combination of two cyclopentadienide ions with a ferrous cation‚ such that the six pi electrons binds every carbon equally to the metal forming a sandwich type structure. Ferrocene has the properties of both an activated benzene (undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions) and a ferrous ion (oxidation reaction). Glyme

Introduction The natural environment is highly populated with microorganisms such as bacteria‚ fungi‚ protista and several others. Microorganisms are microscopic in size and vary shape. They are found in the air‚ in water‚ on land and on other organisms such as humans and pets. Many microorganisms grow at rapid speeds and can be harmful and cause diseases. Although microorganisms may cause harm‚ society benefits from microorganisms in many ways. Microorganisms are necessary for the production of

Bioinformatics Lab Report Hypothetical Phylogenetic Tree: Using a cladistic approach‚ we constructed a hypothetical phylogenetic tree of many different plant taxa by comparing their morphologies. We first decided to sort the various types of plants into groups based on morphological features. After sorting these plants into five different groups we began to determine how the plants differed from eachother in the group and what features set them apart. From this we started to create

minutes. We came out results that showed a marginal difference between the amounts of CO2 produced at different temperatures. The results showed that increased temperature causes an increase in fermentation rate and increased production of CO2. Introduction: Fermentation is the break down of organic matter‚ by microorganism‚ in the absence of oxygen also known as anaerobic (Van Neil‚ 2008). Our reactions occurs when yeasts is added to a solution of glucose and water. Fermentation starts with a process

Introduction There are two groups of reflexes in the human body‚ with two ways to categorize each of them. Reflexes can either be inborn and connected through the nervous system‚ or they can be learned through practice. Another way to explain a reflexive category would be autonomic reflexes or somatic reflexes. Autonomic reflexes are those which are unaware to us and act on visceral organs of the body‚ whereas somatic reflexes involve skeletal muscle stimulation. Both types of reflexes are put into
