Midterm Study Guide Answers 1. A hypothesis is an explanation of observations. “If the floor is wet‚ I will slip.” 2. A controlled experiment is when only one variable is changed. 3. If the plant you are experimenting with has a disease that is an unavoidable experimental error. 4. An enzyme speeds up reactions and lowers the energy it takes to produce something‚ a lock and key. 5. Autotrophs make their own food by producing sugars from sunlight and various chemicals. 6

Tuskegee Syphilis experiment is the most infamous clinical study conducted in the United States between 1932 -1972. The study of natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural Africa American men‚ led to a forty year study which was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards; researchers knowingly failed to treat patients after the 1940s validation of penicillin. The patients with syphilis were never told they had it‚ were part of a case study‚ could leave the experiment at any given

If one goes out before we wake up‚ we will get two more of the same type of battery and watch it during the day. Variables Our variable is the different brand of batteries. The controlled condition is the same type of flashlights. Results Our experiment showed that Rayovac outlasted all of the other batteries we tested by at more than two hours. The Eveready battery‚ which is a regular‚ non-alkaline battery‚ lasted only 6 hours and 35 minutes. The Duracell lasted 15 hours. The Energizer lasted

Purpose This experiment shows how different concentrations of acids and bases in a solution affect its pH level. When acids and bases are combined in a solution‚ they neutralize each other. This means that depending on the concentration of both acids and bases in a solution‚ the pH will vary. A neutral pH level is 7; anything below that level is known as an acidic solution‚ while anything above is known as a basic solution. To find out the pH‚ the solutions will be diluted and tested with different

Biology 102 Lab Report: Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption in Fish Methods: The lab consists of two experiments repeated over a period one hour with fifteen minutes interval‚ in order to determine the effect of weight and temperature on ventilation and oxygen consumption of Carassius auratus‚ commonly known as goldfish. Each experiment was carried out by five groups. Measurement of ventilation was determined by recording operculum movement of the fish. Oxygen consumption was measured using oxygen

DOE - Design of Experiment DOE is an approach used to identify factors/steps that are contributing most to an observed variation in product specifications. The classical DOE focuses on identifying the factors that affect the level of a product/process response‚ examining the response and forming the mathematical prediction model. The modern DOE‚ introduced by Genichi Taguchi in early 1980s‚ applies in both product and process development to identify the factors that affect the variability of the

of Energy Transfer is prominent in all of these topics. The Interdependence in Nature is also a theme that comes up especially in plant functions‚ plant and animal cells‚ and leaf anatomy. Although there were many different sub-themes after many experiments‚ research‚ and discussion in class‚ I find that the two main themes that were talked about this quarter are Energy Transfer and the Interdependence in Nature. The theme of Energy Transfer is very important when it comes to both plants’ and animals’
