Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes. Organisms that have evolved special adaptations that permit them to live in extreme conditions are called "extremophiles."

pH and Microbial Growth Introduction: Each organism has an optimum environment for growth‚ which includes pH level. Organisms that grow at near neutral pH levels are called neutrophiles. Those that grow best in acidic pH values are called acidophiles. Others‚ yet‚ grow best in alkaline pH values and are called alkaliphiles. In this lab‚ each group was assigned an organism‚ which was then used to inoculate 6 different pH levels. Materials and Methods: Followed lab procedure 29‚ “pH and

Investigation Into Temperature Sensors Introduction In this project I will be investigating how it is possible to use a temperature sensor to keep a greenhouse from changing temperature too much. This is intended to help plants live and grow in their optimum temperature. This will create a perfect temperature for the enzymes in the plants to work in‚ and therefore resulting in a maximum growth/production rate. This could be useful for gardeners who wish to grow plants as quickly as possible

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place

The Effect of Increasing Temperatures on the Enzyme Catalase Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions inside your body and without enzymes‚ chemicals reactions in cells would be incredibly slow to a point where no activity at all takes place (Brawo press Inc‚ 2017). Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions by lowering the activations energy and they do this by binding substrates together in the correct orientation to react (Ernest Z‚ 2014). They are vital for life and serve a

Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED FAN H ere is a circuit through which the speed of a fan can be linearly controlled automatically‚ depending on the room temperature. The circuit is highly efficient as it uses thyristors for power control. Alternatively‚ the same circuit can be used for automatic temperature controlled AC power control. In this circuit‚ the temperature sensor used is an NTC thermistor‚ i.e. one having a negative temperature coefficient. The value of thermistor resistance at

analyzing pH it measures for the acidity or basicity of a solution. pH levels vary depending on the solution. The more acidic solutions would be juices and vinegar and cleaning materials would be basic. You can determine the purpose of solutions based on their acidity and basicity. We measure the pH of solutions on a scale with levels from 1-14. These levels may change if other solutions are added‚ we can tell what the pH will be based on its colour. Solutions called buffers change the pH levels of
