To investigate the effect of different caffeine concentration on the heartbeat rate of Daphnia at room temperature. Introduction: Caffeine is found‚ and produced in many plant species to function as a natural pesticide‚ and as an inhibitor of seed germination of other nearby coffee seedlings to give it a better chance of survival. Caffeine is able to paralyze and kill certain insects upon feeding on the plants that produce caffeine. Coffee‚ tea and cocoa are common caffeine-containing

1) Irish Potato Famine. 1845-1849. Called the Great Famine. In the early 19th century‚ Ireland’s tenant farmers struggled to provide for themselves and to supply the British market with cereal crops. By the early 1840s half the Irish population‚ mostly the rural poor‚ became to depend almost exclusively on the potato for their diet. The rest of the population also consumed it in large quantities. A heavy reliance on just one or two high-yielding types of potato greatly reduced the

In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4 is added into glucose with different concentration and the time taken for the purple pink colour of potassium permanganate solution to change to colourless is recorded. This is because glucose donates electrons to the permanganate ions‚ causing it to change colour (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’

Concentration vs Rate of reaction Brandon Introduction A reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction will occur. Heat‚ concentration of a chemical‚ Surface area or a catalyst‚ will affect the rate of reaction. The concentration of a chemical will speed up of the reaction because the reactant particles have become more crowded therefore increasing the chance of productive collisions. In this practical the chemicals will be Sodium thiosulphate and Hydrochloric acid which will produce

The Irish Potato Famine was a great famine that took place in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. The famine was caused by a potato disease‚ also called a potato blight. This was a huge problem especially considering that much of Ireland’s population was heavily reliant on potato crops. The famine itself killed around one million people. The question of genocide comes in when the British are taken into account. Ireland was dependent to Britain‚ much like how today countries like Puerto Rico are dependent

Event When World War II began there were 9 million people in concentration camps‚ when the war ended there were 3 million people. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor President Ford put the japanese americans and the immigrants into internment camps because they looked like the enemy‚ the Japanese were not able to fight in the Military because they looked like the enemy. When Hitler became Chancellor he chose to put the Jews in concentration camps because he thought they looked like the enemy‚ Hitler

Determining the Concentration of a Solution: Beer’s Law Purpose: The purpose of the experiment is to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution by measuring absorbance. Introduction: A Colorimeter will be used to determine the concentration and formula of an unknown cobalt nitrate solution. The colorimeter sends blue light from the LED light source to pass through the solution and hit a photocell. A solution with a higher concentration will absorb more

The Nazis built and run these camps to imprison those accused of committing crimes against the state or known as “enemies of the state”. During the holocaust‚ concentration camps left a mark on our society. First‚ they were created to detain so-called “enemies of the state”‚ so they were named concentration camps. In addition‚ the Nazi’s had

Abstract: During the lab a better agent for absorbing Procion Red Dye was trying to be found. Using the different dilutions of a stock solution and a spectrophotometer an Absorbance vs. Concentration graph was created and using the trendline from that graph it was determined which agent‚ zeolite‚ magnetic zeolite‚ or charcoal were better at absorbing the dye. From the results collected it was found that charcoal was the best at absorbing the dye‚ when moles of dye per gram of agent used were calculated

The definition of holocaust is death by fire. Concentration camps were built to kill the inferior people. To Hitler‚ Concentration Camps were part of his finale solution of exterminating the inferior people to make his master race. In 1939‚ the Nazis had defeated Poland. Poland had around of 3‚000‚000 Jews. The Concentration Camps were located all over both East Germany and Poland. As the war went on and the Nazis kept moving forward they had to build more camps. The camps were spread out all over
