Statistics Investigation Introduction A new drug was developed that was claimed to lower the cholesterol level in humans. A leading heart specialist was interested to know if the claim made by the company selling the drug was accurate. They enlisted the help of 50 patients. They agreed to take part in an experiment in which 25 patients would be randomly allocated to a group that would take the new drug and the other 25 would take an identical looking pill that was a placebo (a sugar pill that

INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE ACTIVITY AIM The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of temperature on catalase or hydrogen peroxide. This will enable us to tell at what temperature hydrogen peroxide is most efficient. This (degradation) reaction will help us determine some of the catalase’s different attributes. HYPOTHESIS In this experiment it would be safe to hypothesise that no activity would take place at 1 to 20 degrees. It would be probable that a

currently looking at the nation’s consumption of chicken. Data have been gathered dating back to 1970‚ in hopes of finding variables that are closely correlated with chicken consumption so that the consumption can be predicted. In the spreadsheet you will find 36 observations…one for each year since 1970. The variables are: Year = Year Y = per capita consumption of chicken (lbs.) X1 = Real disposable income per capita ($) X2 = Real retail price of chicken per lb (cents) X3 = Real retail price of

Chapter 1 The Problem-And It’s Background Potato as an alternative battery for scientific calculator is the chosen topic of the researchers. The researchers thought of many topics but the topic about the scientific calculator get their attention. They thought that scientific calculator is very useful to students especially to 4th year students. A scientific calculator is a type of electronic calculator‚ designed to calculate problems in science‚ engineering‚ and mathematics. They have

distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions 5% NaCl and 10% NaCl would have shriveled cells. This is because the solution is hypertonic and water is leaving the potato out into the solution.

Premium Osmosis Chemistry Concentration
Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration

Pilgrim’s traces its origins to a feed store opened in 1946 in Pittsburg‚ Texas by Lonnie "Bo" Pilgrim and his older brother‚ Aubrey. The brothers were known to give away free chicks with the bags of feed they sold‚ thereby expanding their business. Bo Pilgrim‚ wearing traditional Pilgrimdress‚ with a pet chicken named "Henrietta" under his arm‚ was

Experiment: Turgor in Potato Tissue 1. We labelled three test tubes A‚ B‚ C‚ D and added initials of people in our group. 2. Used a syringe or graduated pipette to put 20 cm3water in tube A and 10 cm3 in tube B. 3. Put 20 cm3 of 17% solution in tube C and 10 cm3 in tube B; put 20 cm3 pure sucrose solutions in tube D. 4. Working on the dissecting board I cut the ends off large potato. I was careful with the knife and cut it onto the dissecting board away from myself. 5. Used a cork
