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

Aim The aim of this experiment is to calculate the average human reaction time for a simple task. Hypothesis If the activity is repeated a number of times‚ then the reaction time will decrease‚ therefore the slower the reaction time‚ the further the ruler will fall. Variables - which variables are you going to: Change? (Independent Variable) The Independent Variable in this Investigation is the reaction time. Measure? (Dependent variable) The Dependent Variable in this Investigation is how

element or compound reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light. It is a reaction that requires oxygen. My objective in doing this experiment is to determine the effect of the height of the candle on the length of its burning time. The existing problem is Suffocation. Research Problem: What is the effect of height of the candle on the length of its burning time? Hypothesis: The shorter the Candle‚ The longer the time it will burn. Experimentation: A. Materials 1. 3 identical jars

Introduction Cell respiration is the process of a cell converting sugars into ATP (energy) in the mitochondrion. It is an essential process which enables organisms to survive and function (Biology Online‚ 2010). Not only does it produce ATP‚ but also carbon dioxide (though decarboxylation)‚ NADH and FADH and in the case of some organisms‚ alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisia‚ a bacterium commonly known as yeast‚ is used in various aspects of life‚ from winemaking to baking. It respires both anaerobically

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

Two experiments were performed to investigate the effects of temperature on the growth rate pine seedlings. Experiment 1 A batch of 60 pine seedlings (Batch I) was grown in a greenhouse under controlled temperatures. Ten plants were grown at each of six temperatures from 50 C to 300 C. These plants remained at their original temperatures 24 hours each day for two weeks. All other conditions were the same for all seedlings. The growth rates are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

Experiment 16: Heat conduction Introduction In this laboratory you will study heat flow across a temperature gradient. By comparing the temperature difference across one material to the temperature difference across a second material of known thermal conductivity‚ when both are conducting heat at a steady rate‚ you will be able to calculate the thermal conductivity of the first material. You will then compare the experimental value of the calculated thermal conductivity to the known value for that

are exposed daily to oxygen (such as fruits‚ vegetables and animals). Background Information The Catalase enzyme in this experiment is known for being less affective the warmer the temperature is. According to “Science fair projects” an enzyme becomes unstable at higher temperatures and the shape of the enzyme changes. The enzyme is also used to remove hydrogen peroxide from clothing in the textile industry. This would make sense because when an enzyme encounters a substrate molecule
