Investigating the effects of Caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia Shrimp. Aim: In this experiment we are trying to find out how varying the concentration of caffeine can affect the heart rate of Daphnia shrimp. Prediction: I predict that caffeine will increase the heart rate of the shrimp . Introduction: I believe the results will comply with my prediction. Caffeine is a compound found in especially tea and coffee plants and acts as a natural pesticide. Caffeine is a central nervous system

Abstract This investigation was undertaken in order to observe the effects of changing the temperature of the solution that a potato cube is placed in. The temperatures that were tested in this investigation were 0°C‚ 20°C (room temperature)‚ and 70°C. This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again

Molecule Polarity PhET Lab A study of electronegativity‚ bond polarity‚ and molecular polarity Introduction: In this atomic-level simulation‚ you will investigate how atoms’ electronegativity value affects the bonds they produce. When two atoms bond‚ a pair of electrons is shared between atoms. Electronegativity is a measure of a single atom’s ability to hoard electrons shared in that bond. In this lab you will work diligently‚ at your own pace‚ to answer a number of questions. To begin‚ from

Schrodinger had introduced an Equation that describe the behavior of matter. He proclaimed that living and non-living matter all obey the same laws as physics and chemistry‚ and proposed that living organisms should be treated in terms of molecular and atomic structure. 1865 Gregor Mendel discovered the basic laws of heredity‚ and first used the word “gene.” He deuced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units‚ one from each parent. He also tracked

EFFECT OF INTEREST RATE ON INVESTMENT DETERMINATION IN NIGERIA (1970-2008) ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of interest rate on investment determination in Nigeria. The study is necessitated by the fact that the behavior of interest rates to a large extent determines investment activities and economic growth of any country. Investment decision is seen as demand for credit in an economy and this study calculated the annual variance of interest rate and its effects on investment determination

My First Lab Report: Diffusion and Osmosis To begin‚ this is my first time doing an experiment and a lab report for biology’s class. Although‚ it was a little hard at the beginning‚ my team and I got the hang of it and we finished it on time. It was actually kind of fun. There were three steps in the experiment: 3.1 A – Molecular Movement: In this session‚ I was observing a sample and determining if there was a movement or not. 3.1B –Diffusion through semi-permeable membrane dialysis tube: In this

Marie Gorjon Mrs. B Anatomy & Physiology 168 March 14‚ 2014 Diffusion across a Selectively Permeable membrane Introduction: Diffusion is movement of molecules from one area of concentration to another. This process is vital for the life functions of cells. Cells have selectively permeable membranes that allow only certain solutions to pass through them. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion that allows water to go through semi-permeable membranes of high water potential to a region of lower

w The Effect of Changing the surface area on the Rate of Reaction? By : 22/10/2013 The effect of changing the surface area on the rate of reaction? Unit Question: Should we speed things up or slow them down? Hypothesis: According to collision theory‚ should the surface area increase the amount of collisions increase increasing the rate of reaction. Therefore‚ my hypothesis is that when the surface area

I believe that Weight Training for Young Adults is overall positive. I believe this because weight training is safe for young adults. Also‚ weight training is very effective for young adults. Lastly‚ weight training has a countless amount of additional benefits besides increasing strength and enhancing performance. These are the reasons why I believe Weight Training for Young Adults is overall positive. The first reason I stated was that weight training is safe for young adults. Research studies

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for
