PEES 4200W- Physiology of Exercise Lab #2: Metabolism and Energy Expenditure 1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry‚ how efficient the subject ’s body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled‚ as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min‚ the volume

Water Testing Lab Conclusion In this lab‚ chemical tests were used to check for the presence of calcium‚ chloride‚ and sulfate ions in water samples. To do this‚ the testers started with five samples: a reference‚ a sample of only the chemical being tested for‚ a control‚ distilled water‚ two home water samples‚ and a school water sample. To test for the ions in the water‚ a chemical that would react with the ion and create a precipitate was added. If the precipitate was not easily visible‚ a

body’s defenses against pathogens. Microorganisms are capable of causing infection or spoilage. Controlling bacterial growth is important in poultry farm businesses that use equipment to decontaminate processing plant fluids before disposal. During quality control and safety evaluations‚ bacteria growth that needs to be controlled can be found. While controlling bacterial growth‚ clusters of Gram Positive Cocci were found. It was found some ways to control bacterial growth were disinfection‚ sterilization

Microbiology Sec 147848 November 18‚ 2013 Title of the Experiment: Enterobacteriaceae Identification: The Enterotube II System Learning Objectives: After completing this exercise we were able to inoculate an unknown bacterium that belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae by using technology effectively with a Enterotube II. An Enterotube II is a miniaturized multi-test system for rapid identification of enterbacteriaceae. We then evaluated the test results and generated a five-digit code for the unknown

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

Investigation Investigate the amount of heat evolved when magnesium reacts with dilute acids. Planning What I am going to do I am going to find out how much heat is given out when magnesium reacts with a variety of dilute acids. In order to make comparisons between the acids‚ I shall use my results to work out how much heat would be given out if 1 mole of magnesium reacted with an excess of each acid. The acids I shall use are hydrochloric acid‚ sulphuric acid‚ nitric acid and ethanoic acid

Pennsylvania State University Lab Report on Experiment 10- The Chemistry of Natural Waters Introduction What is water hardness? Water is extremely important to all living things and even to non-living things‚ indirectly. Therefore‚ the way water travels and gets to a place is also extremely important because its transportation methods determine the chemicals that get involved and added into the water as it travels. This relates to the hardness of water. The hardness of water is basically caused by the

...............................(1) Measurement of Relative Water Content (RWC%);Relative Turgidity (RT %): Relative water content was estimated according to a modification of the method of Weatherly (1950); Weatherly and Barr (1962); Slatyer (1957);Fletcher et al. (1988)on the final day of the experiment and was calculated by the formula given byKramer (1983).Detached leaf samples were weight immediately and floated on distilled water in a darkened refrigerator (5˚C). Saturation of the leaves was

Introduction! ! The Michelson Interferometer is commonly used to determine the wavelength of light or measure very small distances. It was invented by Albert Abraham Michelson and is commonly used in optical interferometry‚ a branch of physics involving a family of techniques one could use to extract information about waves by superimposing them. ! ! The original application of the Michelson Interferometer was to the famous Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887. Prior to Einstein’s
