A potato will be the substance used to determine how different temperatures affect this enzyme. This experiment has a control‚ independent‚ and dependent variable. The control variable is the size of the filter paper‚ the amount of potato in the experiment‚ and the amount of hydrogen peroxide used. The independent variable is the

Effects of Caffeine and Nicotine on Lumbriculus variegatus INTRODUCTION An experiment was conducted to study and explore the circulatory system by exposing Lumbriculus variegatus‚ black worms‚ to household drugs. Lumbriculus variegatus was chosen as the experimental organism because of their transparent bodies and their simple physiology. Their transparent bodies help the experimenters to easily see their pulse. Another reason for choosing this specific organism is their body structure—large

Glossary: 1) Interest rates: An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers to use the money they borrow from a lender. The annualized cost of credit or debt calculated as the percentage ratio of interest to the client. Each bank can determine its own interest rate on loans‚ but in practice local rates are about the same from bank to bank. In general‚ interest rates rise in periods of inflation‚ higher demand for credit‚ narrow money‚ or because of higher reserve requirements

analysing the graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size

EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA LEAVES ABSTRACT Caffeine extraction from the commercial tea leaves (Lipton Yellow Label Tea) that was done is multiple extraction. 4 tea bags were used in the experiment; tea leaves were weighed having 8.5333 grams. The leaves were boiled in a beaker with 150ml of water; the aqueous tea extract was transferred in a seperatory funnel mixed with DCM (20ml)‚ done thrice. The DCM layer was washed with 20ml 6M NaOH in the seperatory funnel; the organic layer

“Pulsation Rate of Blackworms” Antonio Cavazos Biology 1107- 102 (Tuesday 1:00 – 3:50) 04/ 07/ 2009 Jose Fierro Addison Rhudy I. Introduction For any animal that is too large and/or too complex a circulatory system is needed to obtain essential chemicals by the process of diffusion alone. A circulatory system transports nutrients‚ oxygen and other important chemicals to all body cells. This system have three components: circulating fluid‚ a heart or pulsating vessel in charge

In the experiment‚ as the size of the cube decreased‚ the absorption rate increased‚ showing that the smaller cells absorbed more sodium hydroxide than bigger cells. The smaller cells were able to absorb more sodium hydroxide as they have a bigger surface area to volume ratio causing them to act more efficiently than the bigger cells. The smallest cell had a ratio of 1:12 while the biggest cell had a ratio of 1:2‚ leaving a gap of 5:12 causing the bigger cell to act less efficient in absorbing the

Isolation of caffeine from tea leave Abstract:- Introduction:- Caffeine is probably the most commonly used addictive drug. This drug is found in a number of things ingested by people. It belongs to a group of nitrogen bases called purines. Because caffeine possesses these base-like properties‚ it is described as an alkaloid. They usually taste bitter and often are physiologically active in humans. The structure of caffeine is shown below. Figure 1: Structure of Caffeine In this experiment

Determining the Effect of Arousal on the Heart Rate and Blood Pressure of Adolescent Males Wyatt Griffith and Michaela Rodriguez Wood River High School Hailey‚ ID 83333 ABSTRACT When male adolescents were unknowingly placed in an isolated environment with an attractive woman‚ there wasn’t enough viable data to determine whether or not their blood pressure increased. Based on our limited and unreliable data there is no significant increase in the heart rate or blood pressure of male adolescents
