Based on the prompt above‚ “You are going to test your body’s ability to maintain homeostasis. You will test this by monitoring a person in your group’s breathing rate‚ heart rate‚ and qualitative observations” we devised a hypothesis which states that if a person exercises‚ his/her heart rate‚ breathing rate and sweat (qualitative observation) will increase in order for our bodies to maintain homeostasis and control our bodily functions. Based on our experiment we found that in Trial 1 the heart

ratio called‚ respiratory exchange rate‚ or RER. An RER of 0.7 means that carbohydrates are being used for fuel‚ and a ratio of 1.0 means that only fatty acids are being used for fuel; of course‚ values can fall between. Methods: To observe the effects of prolonged exercise on the metabolic system the lab subject needed to walk on the treadmill at a rate that kept his heart rate at 60% of his maximum. The

Inorganic Chemistry 1. A subatomic particle with a single positive electrical charge is protons. 2. A subatomic particle with a single negative electrical charge is electrons. 3. A subatomic particle which is electrically neutral is neutrons. 4. The nucleus of an atom is made up of _protons_ and _neutrons. 5. The number of electrons forming a charge cloud around the nucleus is (pick one of the following) greater than; equal to; smaller than the number of protons in the nucleus of the atom.

Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for subsequent reaction. This "photo equivalence law" was derived by Albert Einstein during his development of the quantum (photon) theory of light. Absorption of visible and/or ultraviolet light by a molecule transfers

end. The water flow rate through the pipe can be measured using the volumetric tank (or measuring cylinder) of a Hydraulics Bench. Velocity of the water can therefore be determined to allow for the calculation of Reynolds’ number. A dye injection system is installed on top of the header tank so that flow pattern in the pipe can be visualised. In this experiment‚ we fix the time which is 5 second to collect the amount of the water. At the same time‚ we also observe the characteristic of the flow whether

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

In the unknown identification labs‚ we have identified our unknown as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is Gram negative and rod shaped that we found to be motile in the lab. Our strain of P. aeruginosa formed colonies that were round in shape and had scalloped margins on nutrient agar. On our agar slant‚ the P. aeruginosa colonies had a filiform appearance on the edges. I think we correctly identified our unknown as P. aeruginosa because we performed several different tests‚ eleven
