Is There A Relationship Between Body Temperature and Heart Rate? Statement of Research Question: This study sets out to determine whether there exists a difference in the average body temperature between males and females. Furthermore‚ the study aims to determine whether an increase in heart rate corresponds with an increase in body temperature. Data Collection: The data was obtained from the article “What’s Normal? -- Temperature‚ Gender‚ and Heart Rate” (Shoemaker‚ Allen 1996) as found in

The effect of temperature on the rate of maggot movement Research and Rationale This experiment is aiming to analyse the behaviour of maggots when they are exposed to light and the effect of that on their movement rate. Behaviour is the way in which animals respond to external factors is known as behaviour. As animals become bigger their behaviour becomes more complex. This is because larger animals tend to have a more complex nervous and hormonal system. Two of the types of behaviour are called

INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE ACTIVITY AIM The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of temperature on catalase or hydrogen peroxide. This will enable us to tell at what temperature hydrogen peroxide is most efficient. This (degradation) reaction will help us determine some of the catalase’s different attributes. HYPOTHESIS In this experiment it would be safe to hypothesise that no activity would take place at 1 to 20 degrees. It would be probable that a

Effect of Temperature ( C ͦ) on Enzyme Catalase Activity in potato Aim: To investigate the Effect of temperature (10‚ 37‚ 60) Celsius (C ͦ) on enzyme catalase activity in potato using 2% of hydrogen peroxide (H202) as the substrate measuring the height (cm) of oxygen gas (bubbles) and calculating the volume of oxygen bubbles produced (cm3) Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being affected. They lower the activation energy needed to start

As it can be seen in the graph‚ the higher the temperature the shorter the time is for the Sulphur to be created. If it is looked as one continuous line‚ the first part of the trend line shows a steep‚ straight and constant decrease; then the 2nd part is not as steep and has a more gradual decline. Moreover‚ it shows how a reaction at 20°C a slower time for the cross to disappear compared to 40°C and especially 60°C. Both graphs show how temperature has a great effect on the speed of sulfur formation

As the temperature increased‚ the enzyme activity also increased‚ however‚ only to an optimal level which was at temperature 32oC. Once the temperature was beyond the optimal level‚ the rate began to decline and this was represented by the concave curve on figure 5 and 7. This was because as the temperature increases‚ the frequency of collisions between the enzyme and the substrate also increased hence faster reaction rate. Whereas‚ the enzymes operated slowly at low temperature as there wasn’t sufficient

This study focuses on the effect that temperature has on the enzyme amylase. Enzymes are composed of proteins and acts as a catalyst to speed up the rate of a specific chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. Reactions do not need enzymes to occur‚ but the human body and other living organisms depend on the use of enzymes in order for biochemical reactions to happen in milliseconds. Each enzyme contains a distinct three dimensional structure which is related to its particular function
