Effect of Temperature on Cricket Respiration Crickets are ectotherms that rely on their environment as a source of heat for their metabolism. Warmer temperatures allow crickets to respire at a greater rate.

02 December 2012 1. Title and Author 1. The Effect of Extreme Temperatures on the Rate of Photosynthesis 2. Jeffrey Xia 2. Abstract A previous lab in which we conducted‚ tested whether or not the light intensity had an effect on the rate of photosynthesis. We concluded that light intensity did possess an effect on the rate of photosynthesis – the closer the experimental plant units were to the light source‚ the more experimental plant units exhibited the effect of gas exchange in photosynthesis

What happens to the temperature of Beaker A over time? Beaker a goes down over time. B. What happens to the temperature of Beaker B over time? Beaker b goes up. 3. Why do you think the temperatures of Beaker A and Beaker B changed as they did? Because of conduction. |Activity A:

thermoregulation Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable environment inside the body. For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

I am choosing to study how the PSI (pounds per square inch) of a football is affected by the temperature. I chose to study this because I like football and I always pondered this question. I believe that this is a worthwhile question to study because these studies can help improve the game as the weather gets colder. As air cools‚ it expands‚ so when a football gets colder‚ the air inside it expands. This expansion causes the air pressure to decrease. The air pressure decreases because the molecules

internal temperature so that the body processes can take place efficiently. The process ensures an equilibrium system is attained for all the body processes. The body temperature of an average individual is 37˚ C. this temperature fluctuates depending on activities one does. A human being is in constant movement unless they are asleep. As such‚ the temperature may increase or decrease thereby varying from this average. Some of the factors that may lead to increase in the body temperature include digestion

Abstract This experiment was designed to answer the question does temperature affect the amount of osmosis? The hypothesis predicted was that the higher the temperature the more osmosis would occur‚ but too high the osmosis would halt due to enzyme and substrate overheating and losing shape. After research and class time it was concluded that osmosis is a passive transport and would not require energy or enzymes due to it going from high to low concentrations with the gradient

atmospheric pressure is suspended from the ceiling of a large room. The steam temperature entering the pipe is 120 oC‚ and the air temperature is 20 oC. The overall heat transfer coefficient on the outer surface of the covered pipe is 10 W/m2.K. if the velocity of the steam is 10 m/s‚ at what point along the pipe will the steam begin condensing and what distance will be required for the steam to reach a mean temperature of 100 oC?
