Orange Juice Vs Gatorade
This project was to see if orange juice can benefit the body more than gatorade can. If orange juice has more electrolytes than gatorade, then orange juice can help the body stay more hydrated. Athletes care about getting enough electrolytes because the athletes need to stay hydrated when working out and playing sports. The independent variable is the orange juice, gatorade, and distilled water. The dependent variable is the electrolytes measured in milliamps. The results were that the gatorade had 0.01 milliamps more than the orange juice and the distilled water stayed at zero. The hypothesis was not supported because the hypothesis states that the orange juice has more electrolytes than the gatorade. If the experiment was repeated, the amount

    Enzymes are biological catalysts. They work by lowering the activation energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction. Enzymes work within an optimal temperature and optimal pH. Enzymes are highly specific for a single substrate. The Enzyme is usually much larger in size than the substrate it binds to. In some cases, an enzyme requires something called a cofactor to begin the chemical reaction. There were four different experiments that were executed in the enzyme lab. Experiment 7.1, the first experiment, was performed to test the effect of temperature on enzymatic activity. Based on what I know about the effect of temperature on the enzymatic activity of lactase, if the lactase used in today’s lab was extracted from human cells, I hypothesize that the optimal temperature for lactase to be in is around 37 degrees Celsius, which is the average human body temperature. The second experiment performed, experiment 7.2, tested the effect of pH on enzymatic activity. Based on what I know about the effect of pH on the enzymatic activity of lactase, if the lactase used in today’s lab was extracted from human cells, I hypothesize that the optimal pH level is 7, which is the average pH level in humans. Experiment 7.3 tests enzymatic specificity. Knowing that lactase is specific for the substrate lactose, lactase will only bind to lactose and not work with the other substrate used in this experiment, maltose. The last experiment of the lab, 7.4, was done to determine the cofactors of the enzyme, lactase. I hypothesize that EDTA, a cofactor inhibitor, will have a negative effect on the reaction and lower the amount of glucose that could possibly be produced if EDTA was not present.…

    In completing the Tomato Plant experiment I had to apply the scientific method. I observed that my tomato plants were producing less fruit each year. I then questioned some of the elements that may have affected the tomato plants and caused them to bear fewer tomatoes being a deficiency in warmth, water, or nutrients. I then selected my hypotheses that the plants were in need of more nutrients. Following my hypothesis I developed my prediction which was that my plants would bear more tomatoes if I was to replace the old soil with new soil before planting. I then concluded, based off of the graph depicting the number of tomatoes per plant, that my hypothesis was supported because; my predication was accurate and the plants grew more tomatoes after I had replaced the soil.…

    A researcher wanted to determine if a new anti-anxiety drug decreased anxiety levels. Three hundred patients were given the new drug and three hundred patients were given a placebo (also known as a “sugar pill” that does not contain any medicine). All of the patients were told they were receiving the new drug and were monitored for six months. At the end of the six months, all of the patient information was analyzed and the researcher concluded that because the patients given the placebo indicated the same reduction in anxiety as the patients given the new drug, the new drug was ineffective in decreasing anxiety levels.…

    In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to lower the activation energy required for reactions to progress in the cells. Null hypothesis states that there will be no difference between the result of two separate variables A and B. The null hypothesis states in regards to the enzyme experiment that lactase will not bind preferentially, or more specifically, to maltose or lactose. Before a null hypothesis can be rejected we must notice a large difference between glucose produced from maltose versus lactose. Alternate Hypothesis states the opposite of null in that there will be differences between the results of A and B. Probability is an indication of likelihood very similar to a percent chance. All probabilities are between 0 and 1, with probability zero indicating an event is impossible and one indicating an event is certain to occur. T-value or t-Test is what is used to determine whether or not the null hypothesis is valid. This t-value can be used to create a p value which in turn will determine whether the results are statistically significant or not. Based on what I know about the effect of temperature on the enzymatic activity of lactase, I hypothesize that higher temperatures will cause denaturing in the enzyme causing it to be less effective and lower temperatures will more conducive to enzymatic activity, and a higher pH will be more conducive to enzymatic activity.…

    In this experiment, the independent variables are the different types of beverages that will be used. The dependant variables (the variables influenced by the different beverages) is the running time (the time that the person will run in one lap), the amount of pushups done in one minute, how many sit-ups is completed by two minutes, and the number of jumping jacks that are done in thirty seconds. I believe that Gatorade will help your athletic performance the most, therefore the other drinks such as water, Arizona Tea, milk, Mott’s Apple Juice, and Coca-Cola is the control group. The controlled variables in the experiment (items that will stay the same) is…

    The independent variable is the color of the ink. The dependent variable is the time it takes to identify the color of the ink. The constants are the list of words and the stopwatch. There was no control for this experiment. The observations I made proved the hypothesis wrong. I repeated the procedure with 18 different people. On my data table, everyone had a faster time on the first set of words. The second set of words took them longer to identify. On my graph it really shows that everyone got a faster time the first time rather than the second. Gender and age did not affect the…

    In performing this experiment, students apprehend and grasp the concept of the “scientific method” and its segments. The scientific method is analytically preceded by researchers to answer a question(s). First, the analyst states the problem based on contemplations. Next, a hypothesis is formed, which means the analyst made an educated guess (solution) to the problem. Before an experiment is performed the analyst has to make a prediction. A prediction is what the person assumes the outcome of the experiment will be, if their hypothesis is precise. When making a prediction it is stated in a manner of “if…..then…” Then the analyst tests the hypothesis. The experiment is manipulated so that changes to one variable cause another to interchange in order to fit your hypothesis. Variables are facts or conditions that are changed. There are three main variables in the scientific method; dependent variable, independent variable and controlled variable. Dependent variable is variables affected by the independent variable. Independent variable is the variables being tested. Controlled variable is variables that remain constant in the experiment. In this experiment five males and five females whose pulse rate and respiratory rate were recorded before and after exercising, to determine cardiovascular fitness with respect to gender. The controlled variables were the environment conditions, same time-span (minutes to exercise) and the same stool. The dependent variables were pulse and respiratory rate based on gender and the independent variables were male and female.…
