Stress and Cellular Membranes Bio Lab SBI 4U1 Due: Sept 24th‚ 2010 For: Ms. Barton By: Ameema Saeed Introduction: (See attached lab) Purpose: (See attached lab) Hypotheses: Tap water will cause no damage to the membranes. The extreme temperatures of the water cooled to 0°C‚ and heated to 94-100°C will greatly damage the membranes. Extreme heat will be more damaging than extreme cold. The more concentrated the solvent‚ the more damage it will cause to the membranes‚ therefore the

The effects of environmental temperature on respiration rates of mice were observed in this experiment. I hypothesized that when environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. I predicted that if environmental temperature decreased‚ the respiration rate of mice would increase. The respiration rate of the endotherm was measured using the Qubit/Vernier system and the S152 CO2 gas sensor‚ a device that measured the CO2 concentration in the air. The independent variable

Photosynthesis depends on an interaction between two sets of reactions: the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. Chlorophyll and the other molecules responsible for the light reactions are built into the thylakoid membranes. The enzymes that catalyze the Calvin cycle are located in the stroma. Beginning with the absorption of light by chlorophyll‚ the light reactions convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. The ATP provides the energy‚ and the NADPH supplies the electrons

Old-growth/ Primary -uncut/ regenerated forest that has not been seriously disturbed by human activities/ natural disasters for 200 years or more - reservoirs of biodiversity (provide ecological niches for a variety of wildlife species) 2.

Define individualism and explain its importance within liberal ideology The liberal ideology is formed on several ideologies. Individualism is considered one of the most crucial. It’s involved in most liberal characteristics like freedom‚ the economy and the role of the state. But there is notable division between modern and classic liberalists as to what it focuses on with modern liberalists focusing on individuality and classics believe in utilitarianism and and social darwinism.

Rate of Photosynthesis Aim: To investigate the effects of light intensity on photosynthesis. Background: Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo to produce glucose. The plant then uses the glucose to produce energy which the plant needs to sustain life. The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and water to partake in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis
