samples or groups. Groups are dependent or related because they were matched as part of the design to ensure similarities between the two groups and thus reduce the effect of extraneous variables. For example‚ two groups might be matched on gender so an equal number of males and females are in each group‚ thus reducing the extraneous effect of gender on the study results. The researcher’s decision to match groups is determined by the study being conducted and is detailed in the study design. In previous

Effects of Activators and Ethanol on Fermentation Rates In this lab we examined how the rate of fermentation is influenced by the type of substrate‚ and activators and inhibitors. We used four fermentation tubes in which we separately combined yeast with MgSO4‚ pyruvate‚ ethanol‚ and glucose. At five minute intervals we recorded the volume of gas produced in each fermentation tube. Our results are displayed in the graph. Our results supported the prediction that pyruvate is an activator

The Effect of Varying Temperatures to the Rate of Respiration of Bufo marinus Statement of the problem: At which environmental temperature‚ do toads have the highest respiration rate? Most animals obtain oxygen‚ which comprise 21% of the air‚ from the environment. Oxygen combines with hemoglobin of the blood to form oxyhemoglobin. Oxyhemoglobin is transported to the tissues where oxygen is released and used for the metabolic functions of the animal. The functions produce waste materials‚ such

The Effect of the Concentration of Sulphuric Acid on the Reaction Rate with Magnesium Sarah Cain SCH 4UB Mr. Lankin April 1‚ 2009 Introduction The nature of the problem is to design an investigation that examines a variable affecting the reaction rate. In this experiment‚ magnesium will be reacted with different concentrations of sulphuric acid. The reaction is shown by the following chemical equation: H2SO4 (l) + Mg (s) → MgSO4 (aq) + H2

Evaluation Like any experiment‚ there were a number of potential errors during the procedure of the experiment. Errors could have arisen as a result of the uncertainties associated with the instruments I used to take measurements‚ and also as a result of errors associated with the actual method. Of course‚ due to the limitations of the procedure‚ they could not be eliminated completely‚ so I will explain what I did to reduce them to an acceptable level and how I could have improved my method to
