Introduction In this experiment I aim to find out if caffeine has an effect on the heart rate of daphnia. Daphnia are water fleas that have a sort of heart that we can see in magnification. We can count the number of heart beats in a minute of a regular daphnia and try and get a new one with the same specifications as the old one that may have died. It is also a good idea to get a new one as we want to see how much it affects it from ordinary instead of adding the caffeine one after another

This part of the experiment yielded an exothermic reaction. The purpose was to calculate the specific heat capacity and molar mass of the zinc metal. The specific heat capacity was found to be 0.197 J/g °C with a percent error of -49.5%. The molar mass was found to be 127 g/mol with a percent error of 94.2%. Possible sources of error inherent to this segment of the experiment were the fact that when the temperature of the solution was being measured

FINAL-TERM PAPER: HOFLING HOSPITAL EXPERIMENT Cassandra N. Phillips Keiser University December 11‚ 2012 PSY 1012-Introduction to Psychology Professor Balkaran HOFLING HOSPITAL EXPERIMENT In 1966‚ the psychiatrist Charles K. Hofling conducted a two-part experiment that was inspired by Milgram’s research in obedience (Milgram‚ S.‚ 1963 & 1965). It consisted of a survey and field study on obedience in the nurse-physician relationship. Primarily‚ what happens when nurses

Design Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors

The hypothesis was rejected in this experiment‚ based on the results. The results were much different than hypothesized before the experiment. It was hypothesized that the lower concentrations of CLR‚ Jar E and Jar D‚ would be healthier and more likely to reproduce than the higher concentrations of CLR‚ Jar B and C. However‚ as shown in the actual results‚ Jar E and D with the lower concentrations of CLR died quicker than Jar B and C. The CLR and water solutions acted as a fertilizer‚ so the greater
