Finding the rate law was the overall goal of the laboratory. When finding the wavelength of the Azo Orange II dye‚ the highest wave was the point used‚ 483nm. The plotted points of the different concentrations absorbance’s made sense to have a steady upward slope because the dye was diluted in steady increments from full to ¾ and so on. Beer’s law was used next to calculate the absorbance of they time over time as bleach was added. One the absorbance value was calculated‚ the concentrations were

metabolic rate are investigated. Hypothesis: With the information given‚ we tested the effects of given hormones on the body by using virtual rats. We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with

LCT and UCT causes the endotherm’s metabolic rate to increase. We can hypothesize that when the temperature falls below the LCT or above the UCT‚ the percent O2 consumption will increase‚ and thus‚ the metabolic rate. The hypothesis was supported by the result received in this lab. The thermal neutral zone (TNZ) of an endotherm is its temperature tolerance range. For the mouse‚ this is about room temperature. It is seen that in the TNZ‚ the metabolic rate decreases from about 1.75 to 1 (Fig 1). During

factors that can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that can affect the rate of this diffusion. Our intent

the and determining the reaction rate of photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is created as

filters and the percent orange light transmittance through the solution was measured to determine the rate of photosynthesis. This experiment was set up to discover how different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis in a spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution. I proposed that the spinach‚ DPIP‚ phosphate solution under no filter‚ and therefore exposed to all light will have a highest percent orange light transmittance and a highest rate of photosynthesis. The solution under the red filter

The Effect of Position on Heart Rate This lab explores the effect of head position on an individual’s heart rate by having a subject move it’s head while simultaneously monitoring the subjects heart rate. There were three successive periods during which the heart rate was monitored that occurred in this order: a resting stage (subject sitting upright)‚ a stage with the head positioned between the knees‚ and a recovery stage (subject returns to upright position). The graph depicts a wide range

Introduction In this lab‚ I looked at how exercise affects a person’s heart rate (BPM)‚ systolic pressure‚ diastolic pressure‚ and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP). Heart rate is measured by beats per minute while systolic and diastolic pressure are measured by millimeters of Mercury. I found the MAP by the following equation‚ MAP= Diastolic Pressure + ⅓(Systolic-Diastolic). We found out that heart rate and systolic pressure were highest right after and during exercise‚ while diastolic pressure and

Elodea & Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. Introduction This lab has been created in order to find what extent does distance from a light source (5cm‚ 10cm‚ and 15cm) affect the rate of photosynthesis (measured in bubbles / 3 min) in Elodea water plants.
