The affect of psychological stress on the heart rate. Introduction: The human body is incredible machinery that can adjust to stressful situations and react in a “fight-or flight” manner by temporarily shutting off nonessential‚ at the moment‚ immune and digestive systems. When the body is ready for a challenge‚ heart rate increases‚ blood pressure rises and glucose production intensifies to supply large amounts of energy. These metabolic changes are caused by release of stress hormones (catecholamine

An investigation in to the rate of reaction Plan: I am going to investigate the rate of reaction. The reaction I will be using is: Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid ---- Calcium Chloride + water + carbon dioxide. CaCO3 + 2HCl ---- CaCl +H2O + CO2 Measurements and Variables: The variables I have chosen to change is strength of the hydrochloric acid which will be 1 mole‚ 0.7 mole‚ 0.5 mole‚ 0.3 mole and 0.1 mole some variable I will not be using are temperature‚ mass‚ density.

BIOSC 048: Problem Set Questions 1. Given that cell A has significantly more nongated K+ channels than cell B‚ which cell has the larger resting membrane potential? Explain. If the permeability to K is higher in A than in B‚ then the resting membrane potential (rmp) will be closer to the equilibrium potential in cell A‚ which means the rmp will be more negative in cell A than in cell B; or in other words‚ the potential difference will be LARGER in cell A. 2. Predict the effect of a reduced

called peptidoglycans. Just inside the cell wall is a less rigid envelope called the plasma membrane also known as the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacterial cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing water and oxygen to flow easily into the cell but restricting other proteins from entering; secondly‚ the plasma membrane contains enzymes proteins that cause chemical reactions to occur that are vital to the

to break the necessary bonds so that new bonds can be formed. Thus‚ increasing the concentration of the anode‚ zinc sulfate‚ will increases the rate of reaction for oxidation because there are more zinc ions in the new concentration‚ which would also increase the collision between molecules. This will eventually allow an increase in the transferring rate of electrons to the cathode‚ as there are certainly

Title Membrane Permeability Aim To determine the effect of various chemicals and high temperature on the membrane permeability of beetroot Hypothesis Organic solvent and high temperature will destroy the cell membrane and make it permeable to the red pigment. The higher the concentration of the alcohol‚ the greater will be this effect. Principle Beetroot is the material used in this experiment to demonstrate the effects of high temperature and chemicals on the permeability of the cell membranes

increased chance of collisions between reactant particles. Since the collisions become more frequent and abundant‚ the rate of reaction increases. Aim The aim of the experiment is to see if a greater surface area of a dissolvable tablet creates a faster or slower reaction Independent Variable The surface area of the tablet (halves‚ powdered and whole) Dependent Variable How fast the rate of reaction is to the surface area Controlled Variables The amount of water (250mL) The type of dissolvable

Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane. Peripheral proteins are bound to the inner or outer surface of the membrane and are easily
