experiment was to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of movement of Porcellio scaber. Our prediction was that P. scaber would have faster rates of movement in hotter temperatures. We expected this response as P. scaber is an ectotherm. Hence‚ its body temperature is directly determined by the temperature of its environment (Mellanby 1939). Løkke and van Gestel (1998) stated that the rate of the metabolism is controlled by the environmental temperature for ectotherms. As seen by Wieser‚ cited

Temperature Effects on Radish (Raphanus sativus) Root Development Abstract Several studies have been conducted to establish how temperature‚ seed germination‚ and root growth are related. Because temperature plays a main role in many growth processes‚ we decided to focus on how it affected root growth. Radish (Raphanus sativus) seeds were chosen due to their ability to produce a distinct bulbous tuber‚ and their relatively short growing time. Three test groups were placed under different temperature

To begin the analysis‚ the properties of the air at the base of the tower were examined. The wet and dry bulb temperatures of the air at the inlet were used to find the humidity‚ humid volume‚ and enthalpy of dry air. For example‚ in the first trial the dry bulb temperature was 22.5⁰C and the wet bulb was 16.5⁰C‚ and the properties found from the psychrometric chart are listed below. H_bottom=0.0095 kg/(kg dry air) V_bottom=0.85 m^3/(kg dry air) h_bottom=47 kg/(kg dry air) Then‚ the cross-sectional

Continental Temperature Ranges Introduction: There are large variations in average monthly temperatures among cities located at the same latitude. This suggests that factors besides the angle and duration of isolation affect the rate heating and cooling of any given location. Objective: You will graph the average monthly temperatures of costal and inland continental regions and interpret the range in temperatures. Vocabulary: Temperature range- Average daily temperature Average monthly

Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth BIO 3400-002L – Microbiology Lab 1 Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth Luiz Felipe Isidoro ABSTRACT Evolution allowed primitive forms of life to develop proteins and enzymes that made it possible for life to evolve under environments with hostile conditions‚ such as high salt and heat. More specifically‚ some bacteria selected genes that code for peptides with stronger intermolecular forces‚ coping

A critical point happens when a substance has a high enough temperature and pressure that both liquid and gas can exist at the same time. This state is called a critical point. Now‚ when a state of matter changes from one state to another is called a phase shift. Phase shifts are extremely important and most commonly observe phase shifts daily. For an example‚ when water freezes into ice‚ or the water in the shower turns to steam. To begin to start describing how a phase shift works we must understand

Does Adding Salt to Water Make it Boil at a Higher Temperature? Project Design Plan Everyone knows that water boils at 212°F‚ but does adding salt to a pot of water make it boil at a higher temperature? Being a person that cooks frequently at home‚ I wanted to test the debated idea that adding salt to my water will make it boil faster. One of my friends says it does raise the temperature and therefore cooks it faster. My other friend says it only helps it taste better. Literature

JUICES WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON VITAMIN C IN FRUIT JUICES? The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the difference in temperature will damage vitamin C in any type of fruit juices. Five different temperatures of fruit juices will be used(5‚ 22‚ 50‚ 70‚ 90) degree Celsius to see how temperature affects the loss of vitamin C in fruit juices. The amount of vitamin C in the fruit juices will then be recorded to see if an increase in temperature will affect the amount of concentration

The Affect of Water Temperature on Goldfish Breathing Rate Carlos Vega Vanessa Santamaria Rasa Hodges 9/12/2013 Introduction The main objective of our lab was to see how temperature affects the breathing patterns of an Ectothermic animal. Ectothermic is the same thing as cold-blooded. It means that the animal‚ in this case a goldfish (Carassius Aauratus)‚ does not produce its own heat internally so the animals temperature depends on the temperature of its surroundings. So

decreased‚ particles are closer together‚ so they don’t move as much because they are low in energy as well as space. Temperature: The question being asked to answer is if temperature is affected by thermal energy. My answer to that question is its affected because when you add thermal energy the temperature increases and it becomes warmer‚ but when thermal energy is decreased the temperature becomes frigid. State of Pure Substance: Is the state of pure substance is affected by thermal energy? My answer
