Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

. Chemistry helps sustain bacteria by protecting the bacteria from outside organisms in the environment out and keeping the bacteria’s contents intact. The Cell Membrane: Is a phospholipid bilayer that completely surrounds a bacterial cell. Cell membrane acts as a highly selective barrier. This barrier prevents materials from diffusing into and out of the cell. This allows the cell to take up chemicals and nutrients needed for survival while keeping the cell components separated from the environment

1. Temperature: Put some hot water‚ warm water‚ and cold water in three bowls. Just use water from your faucet‚ and please be sure that the hot water is not too hot to touch! Place a finger in the hot water and a finger of the other hand in the cold water. After a few seconds‚ place them both in the warm water. Describe the sensations. Can you trust your senses for measuring temperature? Explain your answer. Placing finger A(pointing finger on left hand) in the “hot” water‚ my finger felt a hot

The objective: In this experiment‚ I decided to find out how temperature would affect endothermic reactions compared to exothermic reactions. An endothermic reaction absorbs energy in the form of heat. This reaction feels cold because it is taking heat away from its surroundings. It also releases gases. An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy as heat. Since the energy is released‚ the exothermic reactions feel hot. Methods/Materials I did three experiments. I mixed lemon juice

For this experiment‚ there will be an optimal point for each factor. I believe that the optimal temperature for the enzyme sucrase will be 37°C because that is the point where the temperature increases the rate of reaction to its greatest point without denaturing it. For the pH test‚ I think that the optimal pH for sucrase will be the pH of 7 because it is neutral so it won’t affect the charge in a negative or positive way. For the denaturation test‚ I think that the optimal treatment for the enzyme

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle that is attached to skeleton to facilitate movement by applying force to bones and joints through contraction. Skeletal muscle generally contract voluntarily when stimulated by the nerve‚ although they can also contract involuntarily at times. Muscle action is controlled by the Nervous System

homeostasis to regulate control systems such as body temperature‚ osmotic balance‚ blood pressure‚ blood glucose and respiratory gases in tissues. This report will focus on thermoregulation‚ which is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ despite the fluctuating external environment. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body to maintain a core body temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius‚ despite the
