Lab Report 6: Respiratory Physiology Purpose: To describe the effects of carbon dioxide concentration on blood pH. Hypothesis: If the blood CO2 levels increase‚ the pH will decrease. Materials and Procedures: Materials: Willing subject (someone complete the activities of the experiment) Timer (with a second hand) Glass Urinary and Salivary pH (litmus) paper Drinking straw Procedures: 1. Measure 2 ounces of water in a glass. Obtain the pH of the

Unit 2: Supply and Demand Study Guide and Review Questions Rachel Bracker‚ Scott Doyle‚ Lyra Hall and Christine Wong Winter 2010 Period 3 Terms Background and Straightforward concepts: 1. Competition: rivalry in supplying or acquiring an economic service or good 2. Free Market: a market where the price is arranged by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers‚ without government or trader manipulation 3. Equilibrium: when supply and demand are balanced at a price

this investigation I will be measuring the effects of temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot. I will be measuring the amount of anthocyanin that will diffuse out of the beetroot. The way in which I will measure the anthocyanin is to check the light absorbency of the solution using a colorimeter. The higher the reading on colorimeter the more anthocyanin present in the solution To find out the permeability of the beetroot membrane I will firstly cut out cylinders of beetroot using a cork

Observations: When Malaria is present and infects red blood cells‚ parasites can infect cells carrying defective hemoglobin which may result in death. Allele frequency changes over time depending on the pressures or circumstances facing a particular population. African populations are especially impacted by both malaria and sickle cell anemia. Depending on the impacted population‚ allele frequency often shifts and well suited organisms are likely to survive and allele frequencies can increase

) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than the water potential inside the beetroot cell. I predict that Osmosis

Determination of an Electrochemical Series In electrochemistry‚ a voltaic cell is a specially prepared system in which an oxidation-reduction reaction occurs spontaneously. This spontaneous reaction produces an easily measured electrical potential which has a positive value. Voltaic cells have a variety of uses and you commonly refer to them as a “battery”. Half-cells are normally produced by placing a piece of metal into a solution containing a cation of the metal (e.g.‚ Cu metal in a solution

Introduction Using microscopes allows humans to see things they’ve otherwise would have never seen before‚ like cells. A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells. All cells come from preexisting cells through a process called cellular division. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Prokaryotes are very simple and small. They are unicellular and have no membrane bound organelles. Their DNA is found directly in the cytoplasm since they have no nucleus

03 - 03 - 2006 RESULT The amount of neural discharge due to stimulation of tactile sensilla receptor is posted on figure 1. FIGURE 1: Mean action potential activity of tactile sensilla receptors in femural of cockroach. In this experiment‚ it was found that there exists a spontaneous resting activity within the cockroach tibia even though tactile sensilla receptors have not yet been stimulated. From figure 1 it can be observed that the mean spontaneous resting activity of the cockroach leg is

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope
