Average Beats per Minute
I took 3 reading of my beats per minute (BPM) to ensure I got an accurate result. I took 3 readings of 30 seconds and then multiplied them by 2 to get 3 readings of 60 seconds. I took my readings whilst sitting down and not talking having not done any physical activity (walking etc.) in the 10 minutes before I took my readings.

Decline of Pulse Rate after Exercise
Once I had taken my rest pulse rate, my classmates and I ran down 3 flights of stairs (76!), round the outside of the college building and then back to our classroom. I recorded my BPM every 60 seconds until I got to 300 seconds.

    Bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli are the order from largest to smallest. The main function of the bronchi and bronchioles is to carry air from the trachea to the lungs. Bronchi are the main passageway into the lungs. The bronchioles are the passageway by which the air passes through. Alveoli are tiny sacs within our lungs that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move.…

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to compare the resting heart rate of a Daphnia, to its heart rate after 5 different substances were tested on it: Aspirin, Nasal Spray, Alka Seltzer, Coffee and Tea. Daphnia’s are often used as an experimental animal in lab settings because they are small, have a short life span and are easily maintained, only needing water to survive. For this specific lab, it was important that we have a test subject whose heart is visible under a microscope.…

    The purpose of this lab is identify a particular strain of a mutation in C. elegans and determine its mode of inheritance. This is done by conducting a series of crosses between worms possessing the mutation and analyzing the phenotypes and genotypes. Genotypes are essentially the genetic code of an organism, while phenotypes are the physical traits an organism displays. Which phenotypes are expressed and how they are expressed is determined by genotypes. C. (Caenorhabditis) elegans are tiny, non-parasitic, transparent roundworms that primarily feed on bacteria such as E. coli.…

    Characteristics can classify organisms into 5 key groups called the 5 kingdoms: - Protoctista: These are mainly unicellular organisms that also have a nucleus. Some examples of protoctista are paramecium, amoeba and unicellular algae. -Prokaryotes: These are also unicellular organisms like protoctista but unlike them, they do not have a nucleus. An example of a Prokaryote is bacteria.…

    What is the difference between the upper and lower respiratory tracts? The upper airways or upper respiratory tract is the parts of the respiratory system lying above the glottis (Vocal cords) • Nose – External breathing organ. • Nasal passages, Inside the nose, the sticky mucous membrane lining the nasal cavity traps dust particles, and tiny hairs called cilia help move them to the nose to be sneezed or blown out • Paranasal Sinuses, - These air-filled spaces alongside the nose help make the skull lighter. • Pharynx, - Both food and air pass through the pharynx before reaching their appropriate destinations.…

    In Inheritance: How Our Genes Change Our Lives and Our Lives Change Our Genes, author Sharon Moalem uses a concoction of historical happenings, real-life experiences, and patient case history to portray two main biological concepts: deviations from Mendelian genetics and epigenetics (Moalem, 2014). In regards to the AP Biology curriculum, these two concepts relate, respectively, to the third and fourth big ideas that make-up the course’s framework. The third big idea in the AP Biology curriculum declares that, “Living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and respond to information essential to life processes” (The College Board, 2015). The continual survival and growth in all living organisms hinge on the genetic information they inherit from…

    In my trials I investigated whether or not different genres of movie actually significant changed one's heart rate. I tested an overall amount of four people ranging in age from thirteen to forty-two. I used movies from the horror (The Woman in Black), action (Suckerpunch), drama (The Happening), and romance genre (The Vow). I found that the genre with the highest average rate in change of heart rate was Horror with an 12.81% average, followed by drama with 5% average, than romance with a 4.48% average, lastly action -0.05% average. My hypothesis was if I tested 4 different movie genres then the genre with the highest average percent of change in heart rate would be horror because these movie are formulated to exhilarate viewers heart beat.…

    Genetic Disruptions

    Mutations in genes can have complicated relationships and interactions that affect the phenotype of an organism. Possible genetic variations include nonsynonymous mutations, deletion of coding sequences, translocations, transposable element insertions, alterations within introns and disruption of regulatory elements, as examples. These alterations can cause a range of phenotypic effects from no effect to cell death for essential genes. Disruptions that result in an essential phenotype are typically important to core activities of the cell, such as energy metabolism, DNA replication, or protein processing. Mutations can also have complex buffering effects, where a mutation that would normally have a phenotypic effect but does not while in the…
