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

The objective of the mealworm experiment was to see if the mealworms would gain weight in either peat moss or wheat germ. The experiment included weighing Mealworm A and Mealworm B before putting Mealworm A in wheat germ and Mealworm B in peat moss both for 7 days. After a week they were weighed again and Mealworm A had lost weight and Mealworm B had gained . This concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected since only Mealworm B gained weight. Introduction The mealworm is not a worm. It is

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?

The Effect of Temperature on Solubility By Aviraj Singh Rogers 2 Background: The solubility of most solid substances is generally said to increase as the temperature of the solvent increases. However‚ some substances‚ such as ytterbium sulfate‚ do the opposite. This can be explained through the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that “in all energy exchanges‚ if no energy enters or leaves the system‚ the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state”
