Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days. In their hypothesis they expected to see a bell shaped pattern in metabolic rate with adult age

temperature)‚ and 70°C. This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution

The story begins as Johnsy‚ near death from pneumonia‚ lies in bed waiting for the last leaf of an ivy vine on the brick wall she spies through her window to fall. "I’m tired of thinking‚" says Johnsy. "I want to turn loose my hold on everything‚ and go sailing down‚ down‚ just like one of those poor‚ tired leaves"(16). However‚ an unexpected

Investigating a crime scene. When investigating a crime scene before touching anything investigators must document and photograph everything‚ investigate all doors‚ windows‚ ect of any evidence of how offender got in and out of the crime scene‚ investigate every inch of the crime scene for blood‚ fingerprints‚ footprints‚ weapons‚ bullet holes‚ shell casings etc. and anything that looks out of place. Once this is done investigators can then collect any evidence using the right equipment

Chemical Kinetics Factors Affecting Reaction Rate OVERVIEW Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment you will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: nature of reactants - particle size temperature concentration 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. However‚ in order for the
