Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

areas and the inverse of the separation of the two conductors. The dielectric constant of the non-conductor is also affecting the capacitance. FIGURE 1 Capacitor symbol For an ideal capacitor‚ the capacitor current iC is proportional to the time rate of change of the voltage across the capacitor: Where C is the proportionality constant and is known as capacitance.

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

The Catalase Lab Stephen Human Anatomy & Physiology 9/30/12 Problem- How do different environments affect the reactivity of catalase? Hypothesis- If more catalase is added then more oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a faster rate because there is more catalase to react upon. If less catalase is added then less oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a slower rate because there is less catalase to react upon. Variable- Independent- Amount of Catalase (Filter Paper) Dependent- Amount of

ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the

HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY REPORT DAPHNIA Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effect of temperature and various substances on the heart beat of Daphnia‚ a water flea. Introduction Daphnia belongs to a group of small‚ freshwater crustaceans of the order Cladocera commonly called water fleas. They are very suitable for laboratory studies due to the nature of their transparent exoskeletons. Hence‚ it is possible to watch Daphnia hearts without dissecting them. Daphnia is ectothermic and

pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound light microscope through the 10x objective. It was found that nicotine decreased‚ caffeine increased‚ lidocaine decreased‚ epi decreased basal heart rate. This can be explained secondary to their

Blood Donation Event Report Blood is very essential for transporting all important part of substances such as oxygen and other substances throughout the body. Donated blood can be lifesaving for individuals who have lost blood because of accidents or surgery‚ as well as for people who have dangerously low platelet counts because of certain medical conditions or treatments. Screening measures help to maximize safety of blood donation for the donor and the recipient. From that blood donations
