The Elvis Experiment Introduction: In this experiment we will determine how the difference in length and diameter of a blood vessel have an effect on the resistance of blood flow and how the viscosity of blood will also effect the resistance of blood flow in a blood vessel. Observation: My mom is a big Elvis fan and she always wondered how his health affected his death. Knowing that he had high cholesterol and high blood pressure I decided to do an experiment on what factors may have had an effect

Aquaponics system is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture‚ raising aquatic animals such as snails‚ fish‚ crayfish or prawns in tanks‚ with hydroponics cultivating plants in water in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture‚ excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water‚ increasing toxicity. In an aquaponic system‚ water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down by nitrogen-fixing bacteria

Abstract on Determining the Photosynthetic Activity in Plants Using Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based

Photosynthesis is process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing‚ photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for virtually all organisms. An extremely important byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen‚ on which most organisms depend. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants‚ seaweeds‚ algae‚ and certain bacteria. These organisms are veritable sugar factories‚ producing millions of

AMDG THE RATE OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS The Factor of Carbon Dioxide I. Introduction In this lab‚ the rate of photosynthesis will be measured by manipulating a variable that is needed for the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy‚ carbon dioxide‚ and water to produce oxygen and glucose. This release of products provides the necessary nutrients for all forms of life. In water‚ leaves‚ usually float in water due to the gases such as carbon dioxide and

case osmosis will cause more water to move out of the cell than will move in the cell and the cell will shrink. In this case‚ we say that the solution is “hypertonic”. Learn more about osmosis and diffusion from Chapter 3 of your textbook. CELERY EXPERIMENT We can place celery in three different water solutions to observe the effects of osmosis on the celery stalks. Salt will serve as our solute to

Comparing Wavelengths In The Electromagnetic Spectrum Gamma rays have the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum‚ there is only 0.03 nano meters between the peak of each wave as is shown in this diagram. There is a universal speed that electromagnetic waves travel at which is 300m/s and this means that the wave frequency depends on the wavelength. The wave frequency for gamma rays is 300/0.03=10000hz. Gamma rays are produced by violent events in the universe such as supernovas and

Living things get energy to do things through photosynthesis‚ food molecule breakdown‚ build up‚ storage‚ and lastly cellular respiration. All of these ideas are the reason that myself and others have energy to do anything and everything. Photosynthesis is one way plants(plants are the main source of energy for all things)get energy to do things. The reactants of this are water‚ carbon dioxide‚ and although light energy is not a reactant‚ it is necessary once the energy from the seed is gone. Carbon

INTENSITY OF SUNLIGHT The Intensity of the sunlight is measured at different timings by using Lux Meter which measures the intensity of illumination. The Intensity of light is measured in Lux which is the S.I unit of measurement of intensity of illumination of a source. The results are tabulated in the Table 4 and plotted as shown in the Figure 7. Table 4 Intensity of Sunlight Time Intensity of Sunlight(LUX) 9.15AM 54900 11.15AM 73400 1.15AM 81000 3.15AM 64500 5.15AM 35100 Figure 7 Plot of Intensity
