Anxiety Lab Report Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive anxiety‚ somatic anxiety and self confidence in two different situations; non-stressful and stressful. It is to examine the effects on anxiety of a simple golf putting task. The stressor used in this experiment can be described as situational‚ namely the stressor of social comparison‚ the type of stressor that leads many performers to question their own ability which in turn evokes symptoms

The results did not support this hypothesis. It has been established that heart rate in Daphnia magna increases when there is a progressive lack of oxygen present. (Baumer et.al 2002). When the salinity of water increases there are increases in Na+ ions as well as Cl- ions. This increase in ion concentration causes a change in osmotic alternation and a competition between all the ions. (de la Paz Gomez-Diaz and Martinez-Jeronimo 2008). Although increase in

Conclusion In a prior lab‚ it was given that the enzyme Aspergillus oryzae (fungus) works best at warm temperatures and an acidic pH‚ porcine (pig) works best at body temperature (37 ºC) and

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

called calorimetry. In this lab activity‚ calorimetry will be used to determine the specific heat of an unknown metal. This will be done by using a styrofoam cup calorimeter containing water. A calorimeter is insulated so as to minimize any loss of energy to the surroundings. Therefore‚ when a heated piece of metal is placed into the calorimeter‚ all of the energy should be accounted for. In other words‚ the energy released from the metal should be gained by the water‚ with no loss to the surroundings

INTRODUCTION As for the visual documentation of a living or dead specimen‚ digital photography has largely replaced traditional illustrations of the living specimen as the standard method of recording the colour and anatomy of the specimen in the field today. Earlier traditional illustration (coloured and black and white) are still considered scientifically important because they can stress fine anatomical features that are often obscured by liquid. Even today‚ these earlier traditional illustrations

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

eroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is related to the temperature then in high temperature it will speeds the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Materials ● Catalase ● Hydrogen peroxide 3% and 1% ● Forceps ● Filter paper discs ● Water ● Ice ● Water baths ● Vials ● Marking Pencils ● Stopwatch Procedure 1. Set up an ice bath (0°C)‚ a room temp water bath‚ a 37°C bath and a boiling water bath

Antibiotic Lab Report By: Sierra Toll Hour: 6 Title: The effects of antibiotics on the growth of Escherichia Coli Problem: How do antibiotics affect the growth of E coli? Hypothesis: If Penicillin is applied to the bacteria‚ then the zone of inhibition will be larger. Background: The purpose of this lab was to see how effective a certain antibiotic is to kill E coli. The lab tested three antibiotics‚ Penicillin‚ Erythromycin‚ and Neomycin. The zone of inhibition‚ which is the amount of space
