Title: Investigate the breakdown of starch at different temperature AIM This experiment has been done to investigate the action of the enzyme amylase on the breakdown of starch. MATERIALS These were the materials used: four starch/ agar plates‚ a marker pen‚ 1mm graph paper ruler‚ 8mm cork borer‚ forceps and template for cutting holes‚ 1% Amylase‚ water‚ incubator set at 5‚ 20‚ 40 and 60 degree Celsius. METHOD This was the experimental procedure carried out: the materials above were collected

Purpose: The purpose of the ‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister

That was fast: The influence of light intensity on the growth and development of Wisconsin Fast Plants Introduction It is common knowledge that plants need light to grow and develop. This is done by the conversion of light energy into usable sugars during photosynthesis. Light absorbing molecules‚ known as pigments‚ absorb only specific wavelengths of visible light‚ mostly blue and red wavelengths (1). Whatever wavelength isn’t absorbed is reflected and the reflection is the color of plant we

Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) The anatomy of the optic nerve sheath : The intraorbital section of the optic nerve extends from the globe‚ where it inserts medially‚ to the optic canal located in the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. It is encased by a meningeal sheath consisting of dura mater‚ arachnoid mater and pia mater. Cerebrospinal fluid is contained in the trabeculated subarachnoid space and is continuously and slowly filtered. As a result the optic nerve sheath is in direct

Planaria Regeneration in Ideal Temperatures vs. Cold Temperatures Christina Malfas Abstract Planaria are flatworms that live in quiet freshwater bodies. They live in a narrow range of temperatures‚ from 22-24°C. They regenerate asexually‚ specifically through a process called epimorphosis‚ in which they completely regenerate one half of their bodies after splitting themselves in two. The diffusion gradient model assumes that cells in an organism “know” their orientation on that organism due

Interest Rate Risk (IRR) Management What is Interest Rate Risk : Interest rate risk is the risk where changes in market interest rates might adversely affect a bank’s financial condition. The management of Interest Rate Risk should be one of the critical components of market risk management in banks. The regulatory restrictions in the past had greatly reduced many of the risks in the banking system. Deregulation of interest rates has‚ however‚ exposed them to the adverse impacts of interest rate risk

farming‚ which will lead the planet epically less developed countries toward food crises. Overpopulation is results from various causes such as not having the capacity to control family size or lack of family planning‚ improved medicine‚ low death rate‚ lack of global epidemics‚ and poor education…etc. These are the main reasons behind overpopulation. Overpopulation has bad impact on many aspects in our life such as: environment‚ society‚ and economy. The solution for such an issue like growth of
