Effect of Artificial Sweeteners on Average Metabolic Rate of Goldfish (Carassius Auratus) Introduction Artificial Sweeteners are sweeter than natural sugar‚ replace sugar if someone wants to eat less sugar and have been proven to be safe and even are a healthier option. But also as opposed to natural sugar‚ the energy that artificial sweeteners give a person is less. This is why it will be interesting to study the effect on metabolic rate of goldfish when in fish water that contains artificial sweetener

The Effect of Position on Heart Rate This lab explores the effect of head position on an individual’s heart rate by having a subject move it’s head while simultaneously monitoring the subjects heart rate. There were three successive periods during which the heart rate was monitored that occurred in this order: a resting stage (subject sitting upright)‚ a stage with the head positioned between the knees‚ and a recovery stage (subject returns to upright position). The graph depicts a wide range

the difference in heart rates before and during intense exercise. Aim: The aim of the investigation was to discover how the heart rate varied with the intensity of exercise. The heart rate is a term describing the regularity of the cardiac cycle. The heart rate is the amount of times it contracts (beats) in a unit of time‚ nearly always per minute. At rest the adult female’s heart rate regulates 75 bpm (beats per minute) but this varies between people. If the heart rate is measured before‚ during

on cardiovascular functions such as pulse rate‚ pulse lag‚ the PT interval‚ the TP interval‚ systolic‚ and diastolic blood pressure is noticeable after running down the steps of Long Hall and back up to the third floor. As Table 1 shows‚ the data support the initial hypothesis that the pulse rate will increase‚ the pulse lag will decrease‚ both the PT and TP intervals will decrease‚ and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure will increase. The pulse rate mean before exercise was about 78 beats per

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

Title: Rate of Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis occurs in plants where the light energy changes to chemical energy. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell in order to have gas exchange in the organism. Purpose: To measure the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in the leaf cells. Hypothesis: The higher the concentration of the sodium bicarbonate solution‚ the faster the leaf of the plant will rise to the surface of the water in the beaker‚ the

factors that can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that can affect the rate of this diffusion. Our intent

Change in respiratory rate during exercise Aim: To record and investigate how the breathing rate varies for the duration of light and heavy exercise. Introduction: When an individual exercises‚ the muscles being used needs extra energy from oxygen. The lungs pump oxygen to the heart‚ and then the heart pumps the oxygenated blood through the blood to the particular muscle that is working. The human body has a series of organs working together‚ which is named the respiration system. The organs involved

Demonstration of the Rates of Reaction Between Sulphuric Acid (25mL ±0.5mL) and Magnesium (0.02g ±0.01g) Changing Due to Different Surface Areas By Chania Baldwin Introduction: When sulphuric acid and magnesium are added together‚ magnesium sulphate and hydrogen gas is created. To create such a reaction the atoms must collide with a sufficient amount of energy. Every reaction requires a different amount of energy to create the reaction‚ which is called the activation energy; when there is not enough

Investigative Quest The purpose of this experiment was to find out how music affects the female human heart rate. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that female resting heart rate will increase as the music tempo increases. If the tempo is slower the heart rate will stay at resting heart rate or decrease. Variables The variables used in this experiment were: • The tempo of the music. • The subject’s heart rate. • The subject’s age. Controls The controls used in this experiment were: • How long the subject
