Bio Lab: The Effect of Exercise on The Respiratory and Circulatory Systems Ellie Cookson Communication: 2. As the graphs show‚ both breathing rates and pulse rates spike significantly between the resting rates and immediately after exercise. Average breathing rates went from 26.7 breaths/min at sitting rate to 46.4 breaths/min during or immediately after exercise. Pulse rates also increased quite dramatically‚ going from an average of 65 beats/min at rest rate to an average of 100.3 beats/min

Lab Report: Exercise 10: Organization of Nervous Tissue Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To understand the structure and function of multipolar neuron‚unipolar and bipolar neurons. Also to identify the structures of a nerve. There are no safety concerns for this lab. Step 1: Relates to Lab Exercise 10/Activity 1‚ 3‚ and 4. Assignment 1: Write a brief description

substrate fits the shape of the active site‚ the enzyme will alters its shape so the active site embraces the substrate and maintains a firm grip‚ known as induced fit. This allows for great variations of enzymes. Abstract In this experiment‚ my lab partners and I tested how time effects a catalase reaction. The amount of hydrogen peroxide was recorded after the reaction for the certain time given has taken place. We used sulfuric acid to stop the reaction with the catalase from occurring. This

Aim: 1) To determine the effects of different salt concentration on the percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through

Part I: Pre-Lab Diffusion/Osmosis Pre-Lab Introduction: Dialysis tubing allows molecules to diffuse through microscopic pores in the tubing. Molecules that are smaller than the pores can diffuse through the dialysis membrane along the concentration gradients. Molecules that are larger than the pore size are prevented from crossing the dialysis membrane. Answer questions in complete sentences. For problems‚ show equations and work with units and appropriate significant figures. Part IA: In the following

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) The eyewash fountain is used to rinse chemical splashes off the eyes. They are used by rinsing the eyes 15 to 30 minutes with water. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Fire blankets are used to extinguish small fires. They are used by covering the small fires with the blankets until it extinguishes. c. Shower (2 points) Safety showers were made to eliminate any

Evolution Lab “Evolution by Natural Selection” The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population‚ and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining

Introduction UMUC Haircuts is looking to improve both their employees and customer scheduling. For Myra to utilize the competitive advantage of cost leadership‚ it is critical that she keep her cost low and maximize revenue. Maximizing her Cost Leadership will allow Myra to pass the savings along to the customers. Using an effective scheduling tool will allow Myra to minimize the amount of down time employsees have and maximizing their productivity. While walk ins will continue to be taken‚ the
