statistic (Figure 1). For the next test‚ Dissolved Oxygen‚ we also created a bar graph to compare the values for the control and experimental groups. These results came in as statistically significant too‚ as the p-value was very low at .004. As for the overall mean values of the two groups‚ we found that the control group was oversaturated with oxygen at 102.78% while the experimental group was also slightly oversaturated at 101.55%.

Oxygen in Liquids (DISSOLVED OXYGEN) Dissolved Oxygen – the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water as an indication of the degree of the health of water and its ability to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem. Oxygen – is a clear‚ colorless‚ odorless‚ and tasteless gas that dissolves in water. Small but important amounts of it are dissolved in water. OXYGEN: Aquatic Life Depends on it Plants and Animals depend on dissolved oxygen for survival. Lack of dissolved oxygen can cause aquatic

AP Biology Dissolved Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity Purpose: To measure and analyze the primary productivity of natural waters of laboratory cultures using screens to simulate the decrease of light with increasing depth. Background: Dissolved oxygen (DO) is how oxygen is measured. Oxygen is required in cellular respiration‚ so it is very important for aquatic life. When more oxygen is consumed than is produced‚ dissolved oxygen levels decline and some animals could die if they do not

natural waters‚ such as lakes and streams. Phosphates are essential to aquatic plant growth‚ but too much phosphate can lead to the growth of algae and results in an algae bloom. Too much algae can cause a decrease in the amount in dissolved oxygen in the water. Oxygen in water is affected in many different ways by phosphates Phosphorus is usually present in natural waters as phosphate(Mcwelsh and Raintree‚ 1998). Phosphates are present in fertilizers and laundry detergents and can enter the water

Dissolved Oxygen and Aquatic Primary Productivity Lab AP Biology Procedure: 1) Have two containers ready‚ one with ice water a little bit above freezing‚ and the other with hot water just below the boiling point. 2) Fill three bottles with the lake water provided‚ trying to have as little duck weed as possible in them. 3) Put one of the bottles in the cold container‚ and one in the hot‚ leave the other at room temperature. 4) Using the testing equipment‚ measure the dissolved oxygen level

Comparing Dissolved Oxygen in the Woods‚ the Wet Area near the Succession Plots‚ the Winthrop Lake‚ and the Wetlands Isis Nelson Dr. McCulloch BIOL 203 March 8‚ 2013 Abstract Title: Multiple comparisons between different locations with dissolved oxygen. Is there a difference in the dissolved oxygen in the wetlands‚ woods‚ lake‚ and water area near the succession plots? Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen that appears inside water. This experiment was tested over

Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat

Background Knowledge of the dissolved oxygen (O2) concentration in seawater is often necessary in environmental and marine science. It may be used by physical oceanographers to study water masses in the ocean. It provides the marine biologist with a means of measuring primary production - particularly in laboratory cultures. For the marine chemist‚ it provides a measure of

Modified Winkler Method for Dissolved Oxygen Determination Tiffany T. Lee Department of Biological Sciences‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines 1008 Date of Submission: February 17‚ 2011 Abstract In this experiment‚ the Winkler Method was used to measure the dissolved oxygen (d.o.) in a water sample from the pond in the Arch of the Centuries which had the owl statues. Then‚ the amount of oxygen is determined through a series of reaction. Usually‚ Winkler
