Mortality rate is a measure of the number of deaths (in general‚ or due to a specific cause) in a population‚ scaled to the size of that population‚ per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1000 individuals per year; thus‚ a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1000) in a population of 1‚000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population‚ or 0.95% out of the total. It is distinct from morbidity rate‚ which refers to the number of individuals in poor health

Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days. In their hypothesis they expected to see a bell shaped pattern in metabolic rate with adult age

Introduction Flash-Column Chromatography is another useful technique used to separate and purify complex mixtures of compounds. In this experiment‚ TLC is used to determine the best solvent system for the column. Due to Flash-Column Chromatography1 being an inexpensive technique‚ many scientist use this process for drug and natural product purification. Method By using the information from Experiment 6B‚ the TLC solvent system used was 30% EtOAc: 70% Hex. Experiment 7 was broken into two parts‚

Chemical Kinetics Factors Affecting Reaction Rate OVERVIEW Chemical reactions occur at different rates. In this experiment you will consider some of the key factors that influence the rate of a reaction: nature of reactants - particle size temperature concentration catalysts According to the collision theory‚ the rate of a reaction depends on the frequency of collisions between reacting particles. The more frequent the collisions‚ the faster the rate of the reaction. However‚ in order for the
