an experiment to investigate the amount of respiration by how much carbon dioxide is produced and how using different sugar types affects rate of respiration. The experiment showed that the yeast produces the highest volume of CO2 with glucose. It also showed the yeast respires at its lowest rate with sorbose and maltose was in between the rate of yeast respiration of glucose and maltose. Introduction In this investigation we are going to investigate the amount of respiration by how much carbon

What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis in living leaves? Abstract: In this lab‚ four different types of leaves were tested to see the rate at which each leaf photosynthesized. This lab demonstrates how plants store light‚ capture light‚ and use light as energy for reproduction and growth‚ by photosynthesis. The control in this experiment was spinach‚ which was tested before any of the other plants were. The other plants that were tested were English Ivy‚ C4 Plant‚ and a multicolored

Investigating the effects of Caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia Shrimp. Aim: In this experiment we are trying to find out how varying the concentration of caffeine can affect the heart rate of Daphnia shrimp. Prediction: I predict that caffeine will increase the heart rate of the shrimp . Introduction: I believe the results will comply with my prediction. Caffeine is a compound found in especially tea and coffee plants and acts as a natural pesticide. Caffeine is a central nervous system

Abdulaziz Design Lab Report Research Question: How is the rate of yeast fermentation of 7.5g of yeast affected by using different companies of yeast (Bakon Yeast Inc.‚ Lake States Yeast LLC‚ Lesaffre Yeast Corp‚ Red Star Yeast Company‚ and Minn-Dak Yeast CO Inc.)? Background Information: Yeast is a fungal microorganism that is used to manufacture mainly bread and beer. It reproduces rapidly. Fermentation is the process by which yeast takes in sugar and releases alcohol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation

April 25‚ 2013 Some Factors that Affect the Rate of a Reaction BACKGROUND: Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment I will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: * nature of reactants - particle size * temperature * catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction

How does yeast affect a person’s body and contaminate foods? Yeast can be formed from eating too much sugar‚ and bread. It makes fungus grow with other collection of the living one celled organism that partakes of the nature of plant life. Yeast can grow when it’s warm‚ when it has moisture and food‚ the walls of these little one celled plants could bulge on the side in an oval shape. Yeast can be killed from the boiling of hot water. For the human body yeast could be killed from taking antibiotics

How do limiting factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? Rate is the measurement of an amount of product or time. In the case of the rate of photosynthesis‚ it is measuring the gain of mass or growth over time. If the plant is an aquatic one that grows in water the rate of photosynthesis can be measured by counting oxygen bubbles or the volume of gas produced in a measured time period. A limiting factor is something that is present in the environment that has a short supply and because of that

Investigating Factors that Affect the Rate of Reaction of the Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Emilio Lanza Introduction- In this experiment‚ the rate of reaction‚ calculated in kPa sec-1‚ of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide will be investigated to see how the change in concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the change in temperature affect the rate of reaction. The data will be collected by measuring the gas pressure. The product of Hydrogen Peroxide is oxygen in a gas state thus
