experiment was conducted to see if the brain would perform better in mathematical tasks‚ if there was an increase in blood flow through exercise. The increase in blood flow should help the brain to perform better as it receives more oxygen. This is because all cells require oxygen for cellular respiration. To test this‚ three females‚ aged 16-17‚ were asked to answer four mathematical questions for four trials. As each trial progressed‚ subjects had to run on the spot for an extra 30s. It was clear from

fact that autotrophic organisms create most of the oxygen that heterotrophs breath. Whithout them‚ heterotrophs which need oxygen to survive would not live very long. The second reason is that autotrophs are the lowest food on the food chart. Without them many heterotrops would die from starvation. 3. Why did you put your syringes containing leaf material in the dark prior to illumination? The reason this was done was to make sure as little oxygen as possible was contained in the leaf material

Research Question/Aim To understand the change in mass after burning magnesium and to also determine the chemical formula of magnesium oxide Hypothesis Burning the magnesium will result in an increase in mass because the magnesium will react with oxygen in the air to make magnesium oxide Variables Independent- Initial mass of magnesium (Mg) Dependent- Mass of the burnt magnesium (MgO) Controlled: Intensity of flame Apparatus used (same crucible‚ Bunsen burner‚ tongs‚ electric balance) Duration

at the start of any activity‚ even if the intensity is not enough for the aerobic system. If you go out on a jog‚ most of this is powered by the aerobic system‚ but the start of the jog is needs to create ATP so that the heart and lungs have enough oxygen and can saturate the blood before the aerobic system can kick in. When the heart and lungs have caught up with the movement of the activity and the intensity is low enough‚ then the aerobic energy system can fuel the body. In bas scenarios‚ such

Assuming Joseph’s heart stopped‚ what cellular functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose‚ and waste removal? All cells will work hard burning up ATP. Carbon dioxide starts to build in cells and PH balance will drop. Cells will die and active transport pumps shut down the plasma membrane of his heart. Cell become leaky

manufacture ATP by phosphorylating ADP. Many prokaryotes and virtually all Eukaryotes phosphorylate ADP either through fermentation (anaerobic) or respiration (aerobic). Both of these processes involve oxidation of foodstuffs‚ yet only the latter requires oxygen. Cellular respiration is a very complex process that consists of many steps that take place inside the cell‚ in an organelle called a mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for converting digested nutrients into the energy-yielding molecule

The objective of this experiment was the synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate using an esterification reaction between acetic acid and Isopentyl Alcohol‚ using a strong acid as a catalyst. The product was washed‚ and distilled. This approach is called Fisher esterification‚ whereby esters are produced by the esterification of a Carboxylic acid where it is heated with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid which acts as a catalyst. The ester produced had a banana flavor. The extraction of the

presence of suspended solids in water which reduces penetration of light‚ resulting in a decrease concentration of oxygen. Acidity is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the water body. A pH of 5.5-7.5 (meaning slightly basic water) is preferred in water supplies. Dissolved oxygen is the measure of oxygen dissolved in aqueous solution whilst biochemical oxygen demand is the measure of oxygen used by organisms. Both of these are monitored to prevent harm caused to bacteria and organisms. Natural Factors
