The hypothesis was supported as the rate of reaction did increase as the concentration and the temperature increased. The concentration, or molarity, of the reactants increased in relation to time in the form M=1.1541e0.0016t. This is an accurate relationship as the volume remains the same as the number of molecules increase, thus the rate would increase exponentially as the molecules collide at a constant growth rate. This is also a reliable model as the R² value is 0.9697. The hypothesis that…
definitions to keep in mind. Thermal Niche is a development in which natural selection forms adaptation for an organism through temperature. Acclimation is the process for the organism to become accustomed to the climate change. Fitness is simply the survival of an organism, however, in the investigation, locomotion is more suited due to the focus on the affect temperature has on the organism’s performance. For this lab, the organism experimented on is a water flea, called Daphnia Magna. All of…
prescribe physical training. If V02max scores drop by even 3.5 mL/kg/min in diseased people, survival rates automatically decrease approximately 12%. People with higher aerobic fitness levels have decreased rate of mortality compared to those with low aerobic fitness level that have an increased rate of mortality. Therefore, exercise tests to be performed to develop an exercise plan to increase one’s survival…
The role of enzymes play a large role in the survival of organisms through catalysis of reactions that keep them alive and functioning. The purpose of this experiment was to measure reaction activity over time and how substrate concentration affects their activity level. A supernatant was made through the dilution of blended potato extract. Then the supernatant was mixed with catechol and the reaction rate was measured in units of absorbance through a spectrophotometer every 30 seconds for ten…
Disease and Medicine in 1840’s America America -- a young nation, still in its infancy; after declaring victory over Britain two times, and escaping the global Napoleonic War, there was an abrupt but shaky peace. The United States were hit by a massive economic revolution in a time period known to many as “Jacksonian America.” But when asked of what 1840’s America was like, most people would say familiar phrases heard in a history class, “The Gold Rush,” “Mexican-American War,” and “Manifest…
Throughout human history, our species lived in groups – and not just because people are sociable beings, but because living together increases the chance of survival. Ideally, community provides protection against a constantly changing environment – or at least, tries to ease the hardships caused – and acts as a ’safety net’ in case of members being less well-off than the majority. However, theory does not entirely match reality, as evident in the situation of the poorest in modern societies. As…
hypothesis stated that if the zebrafish embryos were exposed to concentrations of C4, then there would be a higher mortality rate in the groups containing concentrations of C4. The hypothesis…
contribute to the leading mortality and morbidity rates in the World today. The effected group is everyone that is surrounded by someone or persons that smoke, or any tax payer. This statement will be addressing South Dakota, Minnehaha county young adults ages twelve to eighteen. Smoking effects the state of South Dakota and the world, by 1964 it was evident that cigarette smoking was a contributory cause to lung cancer and other morbidity and mortality rates. (General S.), Which in return…
Country risk is associated with lending or depositing funds, FDI, or any other financial transaction, in a country. Risks can include both political and economic risks, currency blockage, expropriation, financial uncertainties, and inadequate access to hard currencies. Understanding country risk in a global context is important as companies move from being domestic to multi-national companies. Country risk can impact decisions on investment of capital budget, whether to portfolio invest in…
plague and treating the plague. Each religion also had their own theories on how the plague started, whether from rats or the filth or trade routes or the Jews caused it. The death rate was outstanding (not in the good way); an estimated 8 million deaths in the Middle East and 75 million in Europe. The mortality rate in Europe: 31%. The Middle East: 33%. “The mortality in Siena (Italy) began in May (1348). “It was a cruel and horrible thing; and I do not know where to begin to tell of the…
