significant because the p value was lower than alpha. Therefore it is clear that the body temperature of an ectotherm could be affected by the elevation of the organism and convection. For future experiments in this subject it would be more beneficial to test microhabitats that vary more in temperature to truly be able to analyze the factors of thermoregulation in microhabitats. Introduction: The thermoregulation of ectotherms such as reptiles and insects has increased in “concern about the impacts

Electrostatics Lab Name: Bryan Michel Materials: Styrofoam cups Styrofoam plates PVC Pipe Fur Scotch Tape Procedures: You will be investigating charging object by friction. When you are asked to write your observations‚ please do so in a clear‚ complete manner. 1. Tape a piece of string to a Styrofoam cup and hang it from the edge of the desk so that it can move freely. Rub the outside of the cup with fur. Rub a PVC pipe with fur and bring it near the hanging cup.

The main purpose of this lab is to explain what emulsifiers and emulsions are and how emulsifiers affect emulsion stability. An emulsion is a mix of to or more liquids that usually do not mix together. One liquid is evenly dispersed in small droplets throughout the other liquid. Many emulsions contain water as one of the phases. There are two different types of emulsions. One type of emulsion contains oil droplets that are dispersed within water. It is considered oil in water emulsion. The other

The Results from the Gram positive tests indicated that the unknown #4 was Streptococcus pyogenes. All seven tests on the unknown matched S. pyogenes perfectly. The blood agar plate proved the unknown to be β hemolytic‚ meaning the unknown bacteria was capable of complete hemolysis. This test separated the unknown into the β Streptococcus group‚ narrowing the possible bacteria to S. aureus or S. pyogenes. The Catalase test was used to determine if the unknown could break down hydrogen peroxide

Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable

closer the heart rate should be to the resting heart rate of the Daphnia. Possible errors that could have gone wrong are the duration given to allow for the absorption of the different concentration of salt solutions due to the limited time during the lab period and the distinguishing of the separate heart beats and the inaccuracy of a constant time being off by points of a

Halobacterium Lab Investigation Mason Pirio 12/12/13 Period 5 Table Group 3 PS 2- Experiment Design PS 3- Conclusion Writing PS 13- Nitrogen Cycle Abstract- In this experiment we tested to see how well halobacterium grows in different levels of salinity. We found out that the higher salinity in the growth medium the better the halobacterium grows. Background Information- Halobacterium is a bacteria that is found in the great salt lake. Halobacterium is an extremeophile which means it thrives
