Abstract I found that this experiment gives me an understanding on how osmosis and diffusion works. In its simplicity‚ it explains the process that our bodies (mainly cells) use all the time. It also showed me that even with the temperature changing‚ it doesn’t drastically change the rate of diffusion. Introduction Diffusion is important in all living systems. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water

As the temperature increased‚ the enzyme activity also increased‚ however‚ only to an optimal level which was at temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient

In virtually any art form‚ color temperature can be manipulated in a way that evokes certain moods and feelings to the viewer. These two paintings are a perfect example of how color temperature can interpret the same subject in several ways. André Derain’s The Houses of Parliament from Westminster Bridge‚ 1906 displays a distinct warm temperature that is interwoven with cooler tones. At a first glance‚ the red‚ yellow‚ and green that dominates the painting tells us that it is indeed on the warm end

Muscle contractions and stimulations play a very integral part in the functioning of an organism and muscles are especially function for force production and motion all this is highly influenced by specific temperatures‚ electrical impulses‚ proteins and enzymes and other factors that occur whether on the inside or the external environment of an organism (Amitrano & Tortora‚ 2012). Proteins as defined by Cheeke 2010‚ are molecules that are made up of amino acids and are responsible for almost all

Correlation between the chemical activity of Amylase and change in temperature ABSTRACT This experiment focuses on how the change of temperature affects the rate of reaction of amylase. In the experiment there were four different environments that each contained 2 test tubes. Each test tube consisted of the same concentration and amount of starch and amylase. After having each test tube placed in these environments for several minutes a droplets of each mixture was placed onto each slot which

The affect of temperature on the rate of movement of woodlice Aim: The aim of this experiment is to establish whether a change in temperature affects the rate in which woodlouse move. I measured the rate by timing the woodlouse to move a set distance of 20cm‚ and altered the surrounding temperature by submerging a clear tube in water with different temperatures controlled by a water bath. Research: It is to be believed there over 3000 different species of woodlice‚ a total of 42 species

of reaction. This experiment focused on how temperature affects the rate of reaction for the reaction of alka-seltzer and water. The rate of a reaction is a value calculated to figure out how fast a chemical reaction occurs. There are three factors that can be changed that will affect the rate of a chemical reaction: surface area‚ concentration‚ and temperature. Temperature specifically affects the rate of a chemical reaction‚ because when the temperature is changed‚ the kinetic energy of the molecules

The Respiratory Rate of Goldfish Affected in Lower Water Temperature Introduction: Temperature is a key influence that can change the respiratory rate of an ectothermic animal: Carassius auratus (commonly known as a goldfish). The respiration of a goldfish will change depending on certain factors. First‚ goldfish are exothermic‚ as are all fish. Their body temperature is determined largely by the temperature of the surrounding water. They absorb energy from the water (and to a far lesser extent

lab is to be able to get the boiling water’s temperature to increase by adding table salt. The problem it is trying to explain is‚ how does table salt affect the boiling temperature of water? does it increase or decrease? or does it stay the same? Hypothesis After reading the lab instructions - but before starting the lab - record your best “educated guess” about what will happen in the experiment. What hypothesis can you generate about the effect of adding salt to water? Adding table salt
