Virtual Lab: Optimizing Photosynthesis Maria Diaz March 12‚2012 Pre-Lab Questions 1. Which two variables are controlled in a similar manner? The two variables that can be controlled in a similar manner are CO2 & the light level. 2. How can you get the results to the investigation faster? You can get the results to the investigation faster by adjusting the speed at the bottom of the water weed simulation. 3. How will you be able to determine the rate of photosynthesis

Investigation of the rate of photosynthesis of pondweed. Research question: How does the concentration of sodium bicarbonate relate to the amount of oxygen produced by Elodea (Canadian pond weed) in the process of photosynthesis? Hypothesis: If there is an increase in concentration of sodium bicarbonate the amount of oxygen produced will increase because the sodium bicarbonate concentration will increase the carbon dioxide levels. Independent variable- Concentrations of sodium bicarbonate (8%

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

Investigative Quest The purpose of this experiment was to find out how music affects the female human heart rate. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that female resting heart rate will increase as the music tempo increases. If the tempo is slower the heart rate will stay at resting heart rate or decrease. Variables The variables used in this experiment were: • The tempo of the music. • The subject’s heart rate. • The subject’s age. Controls The controls used in this experiment were: • How long the subject

heart rate to speed up‚ decrease‚ or stay the same‚ the volume of sound has a high effect on the heart. However‚ if people will let down the volume of sound‚ others would not be mannered by the increase in volume managing to the deadly heart attack. Sound within the community‚ for instance‚ traffic can cause a human’s heart rate of increase. Problem of heartbeat tends to be solved by seeing what kind of sound causes the increase of heart rates to place a termination to increase of heart rate. If

Activity One: 1. The two major variables that affect the rate of diffusion: a. The composition of the lipid bilayer (eg. more cholesterol‚ less permeability to polar substances) b. The structure of the molecule undergoing diffusion (eg. steric conformation‚ size‚ polarity‚ amount and strength of hydrogen bonding) 2. Urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO because the pores of the membrane were too small for the urea to pass through. The molecular weight of urea is 60.06 g/mol‚ over

The topic is The Effect of Temperature on the Rate of Dissolving. In this experiment‚ the scientist will research how the temperature of water will affect the rate of dissolving of different chemical solutes. The independent variable in this experiment are the different types of solutes used and the different temperatures the solvent will be adjusted to‚ and the dependent variable is the amount of weight of the solvent after the solute has dissolved in it. The constants are the same cups used to
