shrimps (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017). They normally inhabit fresh to partly salty water and feed on fish‚ carrion‚ plants‚ and detritus. Because they are completely aquatic‚ they rely on their gills for breathing‚ but can spend short periods of time out of the water if their gills will not dry. Like most crustaceans‚ they have a hard‚ calcified exoskeleton. The heart is located in the upper portion of the cephalothorax‚ which is located just in front of the first abdominal segment (UNT Lab Manual‚ 2017)

How much is it? How does reaction time change with practice? THEORETICAL The reaction time is the amount of time required to sense astimulus‚ analyze its meaning‚ and respond. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed with direction. Displacement is

concentration on the reaction between Catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts (a substance that increases or decreases the rate of a reaction) 2. Enzymes bind to a molecule called a substrate‚ converting it into a product. Nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in a biological cell need enzymes to make them occur. Enzymes like all catalysts lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to take place3. They dramatically speed up the rate at which

To determine which form of tablets gives the biggest surface area resulting in the fastest reaction rate. Investigation question: What is the relationship between the total surface area of the tablets and the rate of the reaction? Hypothesis: The rate of reaction will be the fastest when the tablets crushed into powder as there is a bigger total surface area resulting

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the

We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with

Chemical Reactions Lab Report Introduction: Chemical reactions is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance. There are different types of reaction such synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single replacement‚ double replacement‚ and combustion. Synthesis is where two or more reactants combine to create a product. For Decomposition‚ it is the opposite where a product breaks down into reactants. In Single Replacement‚ reactants switches an element with another element
