An eco-column is used to model an ecosystem on a smaller scale. The purpose of an eco-column is to examine how an actual ecosystem would respond to different conditions. Eco-columns typically have three chambers: the aquatic chamber‚ decomposition chamber‚ and terrestrial chamber. The aquatic chamber contains water and an aquatic plant‚ and it is at the bottom of the eco-column. The decomposition chamber contains items that will work as decomposers and as a possible catalyst for plant growth. Examples

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

LAB REPORT HYPOTHESIS 1: Plants transpire the most when the environment has light and less humidity JUSTIFICATION: Water evaporates more readily because light stimulates the opening of the stomata and photosynthesis would occur. HYPOTHESIS 2: Transpiration would occur the second most when there’s light and lots of humidity. JUSTIFICATION: The light would allow photosynthesis to occur and the stomata to open but little if any diffusion of water out the leaf would occur. HYPOTHESIS 3:

This experiment focuses on the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis. In simple terms this refers to how the production rate of the products of photosynthesis (oxygen and glucose) will be affected by a light source at different distances. The hypothesis states that “If there is a higher light intensity‚ then more oxygen and glucose molecules will be produced‚ and the rate of photosynthesis will increase.” This hypothesis was accepted. This was determined by counting the number of

Math Practice Lab Pre-Lab Questions: 1. The rules concerning handling significant figures are as follows: When dividing/multiplying The answer has no more significant digits than the number with the fewest significant digits (the least precise figure). Round off after calculations have been performed. When adding/subtracting Answer has no more places than the addend‚ minuend‚ or subtrahend with the fewest number of decimal places. Significant figures are irrelevant when adding/subtracting

sucrose. Their effects on the respiration rate of yeast to be observed through the measurement (cm3) of the displaced water‚ which will tell us how much CO2 has been respired over 2 minutes. To compare the effects an average will be calculated for each and a result will be drawn from which we can draw a conclusion as to the effects‚ if any‚ of different isomers of sugar‚ on the respiration rate of yeast. The simpler the sugar isomer is the higher the rate of respiration of the yeast. I believe there

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

Results: The mealworms that were in the room temperature water have a higher cellular respiration rate than the mealworms in the cold water. This is because while they are in the cold water‚ the mealworm’s body slows down which decreases the amount of CO2 that is being produced. Unlike the mealworms in room temperature water‚ their cellular respiration was higher because their body temperature remained the same creating CO2 at a faster rate. Since there were two different controlled groups‚ there

goal of this experiment was to explore how temperature would influence the rate of cellular respiration of beans. It was hypothesized that as the temperature of the beans increased‚ the rate of cellular respiration would increase as well. In this experiment‚ the independent variable was the temperature‚ which gradually increased as time went by‚ and the dependent variable was the rate of cellular respiration‚ which was shown by the change in the amount of CO2 and O2 in the container. During the experiment
