AIMS The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of temperature rise on the rate of transpiration of a plant (hibiscus) by measuring the plant’s water uptake in a period of time. HYPOTHESIS Transpiration is the process by which plants loses water to the atmosphere from their leaves. Water in the plant is lost to the atmosphere by evaporation. Evaporation of water can occur at any temperature. In the presence of sunlight‚ water in the plants evaporates into the intercellular air

Rehabilitation in Prison and the Disparity Between Rehabilitation and Incarceration Rates Introduction The purpose of this paper is to examine how prison recidivism impacts our society and why there is an enormous disparity between rehabilitation and incarceration rates. Prisons are constantly being constructed and are filled to capacity. Prisons simply do not eliminate crime and criminal behavior. In fact‚ In the United States‚ in many instances‚ the recidivism rate is quite high‚ and the costs for

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

The control of inflation has become one of the dominant objectives of government economic policy in many countries. Effective policies to control inflation need to focus on the underlying causes of inflation in the economy. For example if the main cause is excess demand for goods and services‚ then government policy should look to reduce the level of aggregate demand. If cost-push inflation is the root cause‚ production costs need to be controlled for the problem to be reduced. Monetary Policy

conductors - low value for current passing Strong bases : group 1 hydroxides (ie NaOH etc)‚ or lower group 2 hydroxides Ba(OH)2. - good conductors Weak bases : NH3‚ CH3CH2NH2. - poor conductors Reaction rates Similarly‚ the rate of reaction will reveal the strength of an acid. The rate of a chemical reaction is usually proportional to the concentration of the reactants. As it is the hydrogen ions that

Reaction Rate Coursework Aim To see how the concentration of a reactant affects the rate of reaction‚ in this case sodium thiosulphate and acid. Scientific Background For a reaction to occur‚ the particles of the reactants must be colliding with each other with enough energy‚ the amount of energy needed for the reaction is called activation energy. Activation energy is altered by temperature‚ concentration‚ surface area of and the pressure on the reactants. Stirring the reactants also increases

Case 3-1: Rate My Professor 1. What assumptions can you make about managerial decision making‚ as it relates to the Millennial generation‚ from the case? From this case I can assume that when it comes to making managerial decision‚ the Millennial generation would prefer an easy way out. They are technologically savvy‚ and would prefer to see what decisions others have already made and will make those same decisions using number or star ratings. They are always connected to the internet and they

Examine the reasons for the changes in divorces rates since 1969? There are many reasons for the changes in divorce rates since the 1969 such as the legal changes‚ the changing role and position of women‚ also how the expectations for marriage is different. We will also compare the difference between the past and the present in order to see why these changes have occurred. We know that in the past‚ divorce was very hard to get as it was only legal for the men to file a divorce. Also it was socially

Bank of Canada and Interest Rates Bank of Canada Will Raise Interest Rates The Bank of Canada has indicated that it has concerns over inflation being too low. (Parkinson). However‚ inflation has been rising and the Canadian economy has strengthened over the last several months. Keeping interest rates too low over a long period of time may have a tendency to over-inflate the economy and create asset bubbles while also creating pockets of greater debt‚ not dissimilar to those that contributed to
