    The carrying capacity of Wisconsin Fast Plants (Brassica Rapa) in a 2-liter bottle growing environment Introduction In this lab we conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations.…

    Introduction: To fully understand the investigation, there are three main 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.…

    Purpose The question being explored in this experiment is how temperature affects the rate of reaction of Alka-Seltzer, or effervescent tablets. The purpose of this is to see whether hotter temperatures or cooler temperatures cause the reaction to be quicker. Effervescent tablets are used to orally distribute medicine for patients and consumers (Laboratories SMB). By adding the tablets to water, the medicine is released into the solution, allowing the consumer to easily drink the solution and take the drugs needed for their health (Haack & Köberle).…

Receiving them daily has become a required hindrance when being chased by your neighbor's sex crazed Pit bull.

Not to mention, many people did not know what the symptoms, causes, or treatments even were. While there are many different ideas on the symptoms, cures, and treatments, there are only some that are correct, such as the “French cure.”…

    Wood Temperature

    • 745 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Effect of temperature on the change of wood components can be described as follows: during drying in the interval 40°-90 °C, some minor chemical changes probably start to occur, most likely certain extractives. For high temperature drying in the interval 90°-150°C, the changes for all wood components are more obvious. At temperatures of 150°-250°C, major changes in the wood components occur, both degradation and modification, and at temperatures above 250C carbonization processes generally occur with the formation of CO2 and other pyrolysis products. The heat treatment of wood changes it chemical composition by degrading cell wall compounds and extractives.…
