The Effect of Temperature on Blow-fly Larvae INTRODUCTION Calliphoridae- comonly known as a blowfly‚ are living organisms which usually are the first insects to colonise a body after death. The blowfly larvae are very useful in forensic entomology. The oldest larvae give an approximate time of death of body. Family: Calliphoridae Order: Diptera Name: Calliphora vicina Aim: To check the influence of temperature of environment on living functions and activity of Blow-fly larvae.

aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of caffeine on resting body temperature. This has to do with homeostasis‚ which is the maintenance of equilibrium. In other words‚ it is a stable body state. Homeostasis refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed (Homeostasis 2). Humans are warm-blooded creatures that generate body heat internally and maintain body temperatures at a fairly constant level – about 98.6oF

BI309 Lab-2 Name of student: Anisa Dreunibakarua ID #: S11033198 Title: Effect of Temperature and Stimuli on Simple Muscle Twitch. Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a type of striated muscle that is attached to skeleton to facilitate movement by applying force to bones and joints through contraction. Skeletal muscle generally contract voluntarily when stimulated by the nerve‚ although they can also contract involuntarily at times. Muscle action is controlled by the Nervous System

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Catalase Stephen Francis Biology 183 Abstract This experiment was performed to determine the resultant effect of temperature change on the reaction between the enzyme catalase and hydrogen peroxide. This experiment was performed by measuring and comparing the amount of oxygen bubbles produced and the absorbance of the catalase and hydrogen peroxide solution over time at room temperature‚ 2°C‚ 50°C‚ and 60°C. The overall result of this experiment proved

The effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme α- amylase. Introduction Enzymes are a biological catalysts‚ which means that they speed up the chemical reactions in living organisms. Almost all of enzymes are energized protein molecules that catalyse and regulate nearly all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. The reason in which enzymes are sensitive to heat‚ pH and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes

Investigating the Enzymatic Activity of Catecholase through Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration University of Alabama at Birmingham Burgess‚ B.N. Introduction: Background Enzymes are macromolecules that act as catalysts in living organisms by speeding up chemical reactions without being changed or destroyed by the reaction (Campbell and Reece‚ 2008). Enzymes are able to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction by decreasing the activation energy during the reaction

filled with 3 ml of their corresponding pH phosphate buffer. 10 drops of catechol and 10 drops of potato juice‚ which contains catecholase‚ were added to each of the seven tubes. The tubes were covered with Parafilm‚ stood for 5 minutes‚ and mixed every minute. After the 5 minutes‚ data was recorded based on the intensity of color with the “0‚+‚++‚+++”

Using the Equipment Safely It is important that we use the apparatus carefully‚ as safety will be an issue throughout the whole experiment. We will wear goggles and an apron or lab coat to protect our eyes and clothes. As we are using enzymes and Hydrogen Peroxide we need to be extra careful‚ ensuring they don’t come into contact with our eyes‚ skin or clothes. Catalyse is an enzyme found in all living cells. It makes Hydrogen Peroxide decompose into water and Oxygen. We will be

Biology Lab Report I. Title a. Modeling Diffusion and Osmosis II. Introduction a. If one places a 1.0 M solution of glucose inside a bag and then places that bag into a beaker containing a 1.0 M solution of sucrose‚ the percent of mass lost in the bag is 10.5%. The solution in the bag is hypertonic while the solution in the beaker is hypertonic‚ which is why water moves from the bag to the beaker and the bag loses mass. b. The purpose of this experiment is to see whether or not temperature plays
