Circadian Rhythm is like an internal body clock(biological clock) of an animal. And results obtained from experiment conducted with transgenic glowing fly‚ allowed one to come up with a few hypotheses‚ firstly‚ circadian rhythm repeats every 24 hours. When the glowing flies were placed

Discussion This experiment was able to prove the Bronsted-Lowry theory. In acid-base reaction‚ there is a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base. This experiment also proved the concept of mole to mole ratio‚ in which a solution with a known mole can be used to find characteristics such as the concentration of a reaction in a reaction. Through the experiment‚ the concentration of NaOH‚ and mystery of the unknown acid # 25 was accomplished. In both parts A and B of the experiment‚ a weak acid-strong
