Questions and Hypothesis: Seed germination‚ plant growth‚ and sprouting of leaves are affected by several factors: supply of nutrients‚ water‚ exposure to sunlight‚ and conditions of surroundings. Due to certain stimuli in the surroundings plant “hormones” cause plants to behave in ways that ensure the most efficient use of resources while preserving the most energy. One stimulus to consider‚ is the exposure of plants to sunlight; when plants are just sprouting and are underground‚ the sti

hydrochloric acid was used in the second test. The enzyme involed in this test is salivary amylase which can found in saliva. Salivary Amylase‚ is called ptyalin it’s to break down starch to sugar. Things we ate is broken down in mouth by amylase. Amylase hydrolysed starch into a reducing sugar which can give beneduct test a positive result. Body temperature is the optimal temperature for the action of amylase. Enzymes are catalysts for any reactions. They provide an alternative way of lower activation

in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary amylase is inactivated by stomach acid in the stomach and to a small extent‚ it continues breaking down starch (but there’s no enzymatic activities on carbohydrates in the stomach). An intestinal enzyme‚ pancreatic amylase‚ continues the activity

Tori Suchy Physical Science Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials

Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen. When it occurs without oxygen‚ it is called anaerobic respiration. There are very few organisms that can get

Pixar Facts 1.) In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice in "The Incredibles‚" director Brad Bird made actor Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.4 2.) Every Friday during the production of “Brave‚” each Pixar employee was told to wear a kilt for the fun of it. 3.) Shortly after completing Toy Story‚ the Pixar chief creative staff of John Lasseter‚ Peter Docter‚ Joe Ranft and Andrew Stanton got together for a lunch meeting at the Hidden City Café in 1994 that would become one of

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the

Part 2: Safe work with large inductances 1. One of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules
