McGowan Goldfish Respiration Lab Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to recognize the effects of temperature on the breathing rate of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Goldfish obtain oxygen from the water; the fish have to distribute the oxygen from the water into their bloodstream. This transfer of oxygen occurs over a surface area of capillary membranes contained in the feathery filaments of the gills located beneath the operculum. According to “The Respiration System of a Goldfish”

Jon Odle Jeanne Urie English 2413 10 July 2011 The Significance of Irony Irony is a rhetorical device used to illustrate a discordant situation or verbalization in which the outcome is opposite of what was expected. As a result‚ this writing technique often introduces humor into the storyline‚ depending on the tone of the story. This element of indirectness is partly what makes poetry so interesting. Poetry’s lack of simplicity forces the reader to think independently‚ therefore creating numerous

Cellular metabolism encompasses the many processes that work together to keep the cells in dynamic equilibrium. Cellular metabolism is responsible for providing energy to the cell and is an essential element of life. There are several complex‚ involved processes involved in cellular metabolism including glycolysis‚ Krebs’s cycle‚ and electron transport. Metabolism itself can be broken down into two different categories: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic metabolism involves the breakdown of large

1 Lesson 4 Why at Doctrines Important - Isn’t loving Jesus enough? - “doctrine” comes from a Latin word meaning “teaching” - doctrine shouldn’t be just an intellectual exercise - doctrine = “the teaching of Christ” (II John 2:9) Significance of Doctrine a. Knowledge enhances relationships–even relationships with God - Think of your best friends: they are the people you know the most about - Deep relationships are rooted in a knowledge of one-another’s deepest thoughts‚ feelings

Breast Cancer at the Cellular Level There are many different diseases that terrorize the human race every day. Of all of these sicknesses‚ one of the most devastating is breast cancer. Breast cancer touches all types of people all over the world each day. It is actually the second most common cancer amongst women in the United States. One in every eight women in the United States has some form of breast cancer and currently‚ the death rates are higher than any other cancer with the exception

The majority of the experimentation in this project relied on the idea that there is a relationship between concentration and absorbance of a solution. This is easy to understand if you can visualize the particles in the solution; and this is especially true if the particles in solution portray a distinct color. The more particles there are in the solution‚ the more they will obstruct the path of the light. This occurs the most at the analytical wavelength‚ where the most light is absorbed by

Through this experiment‚ Egeria densa was observed using a microscope. The task was to observe and identify the different types of cell‚ cytoplasmic streaming‚ and plasmolysis of Egeria densa. First‚ the microscope was examined and investigated to master the use of the equipment. A microscope slide grid which was on the slide glass was required to be seen clearly using 4x‚ 10x and 30x. During the latter part of the experiment‚ the Egeria densa was observed using the microscope to understand the

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%

The drug “dinitrophenol” (DNP) was prescribed by some physicians in the 1940’s to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method was abandoned after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain how this could cause weight loss. In chemiosmosis‚ NADH are passed along the electron transport chain‚ with energy used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. As the protons are transferred
