Hypothesis

adhesion and cohesion of water is something very important to life. It is these properties that allow the movement of water against gravity. Without these traits, water could not be used to sustain life. Question: What factors affect transpiration? Hypothesis: Factors that increase evaporation will increase transpiration. Prediction: Light and wind will have the highest rate of transpiration. Methods: There were not details modified in the lab manual. Results: The results that we got back…

nature as something eternal, ethereal, or powerful. From Kellert’s chapters in The Biophilia Hypothesis, there are nine elements that suggests reasons why we, humans, go to nature, and one of them is “the naturalistic satisfaction”. In my own experience and Bryson’s, this “naturalistic satisfaction from direct contact with nature” that keep us coming back to nature. In the excerpt of The Biophilia Hypothesis, Wilson state an argument that, “Biophilia, if it exists, and I believe it exists, is…

The vulnerability reduction hypothesis otherwise called initial Interaction was created in 1975 by Charles Berger and Richard Calabrese, its our essential impulse during beginning interaction is to diminish instability about our correspondence accomplice by social affair enough data about so their communication gets to be unsurprising and reasonable. This data can then be utilized to anticipate people groups conduct, or the result of beginning a connection with them. There are three essential…

Investigating the effect of cannibalism on light tolerance In this experiment, these people tested whether light tolerance could be transferred through chemical compounds in a species of flatworms. This idea was based off the fact that flatworms could apparently still have memories even if cut in two. What these people wanted to investigate was whether certain "memories" or acquired traits could be retained in a dead worm cut in half and transferred to another worm without the trait being lost.…

Introduction The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of a high intensity versus a low intensity warm up on oxygen deficit and performance. This study hypothesized that the oxygen deficit levels will decrease with a high intensity warm up, therefore reaching steady state faster compared to a low intensity warm up. The Independent Variables are high intensity warm up versus a low intensity warm up, and the Dependent Variable are Oxygen Deficit and performance. There are…

level of confidence from Salkind’s chart. Based on these results, the null hypothesis is rejected for these tests. This along with higher mean averages for ADHD children suggests that the ADHD children did indeed outperform their non-ADHD classmates. The evidence showing no difference in performance on some tests (above) and ADHD children outperforming their peers on others, contradicts Colombo-Dougovito’s research hypothesis that children with ADHD are less physically fit than those without…

of evolution have on the Nazi extermination of the Jews Aim: To determine to what extent Eugenicists such as Josef Mengele used Charles Darwins theory of evolution to justify his action of experimentation on Jewish people during World War Two. Hypothesis: Charles Darwins theory of evolution does not justify the action of Josef Mengele. The theory was takes out of context and adapted by Josef Mengele to provide ‘justification’ for his experimentation on the Jews. The theory of evolution was…

Wind Direction’s Effect on Flour Beetle Search Behavior INTRODUCTION ϖ Background Beetles are arthropods and generally classified as insects (General Biology, 2014). The flour beetle (Tribolium spp.) is commonly found in flour mills, food storage warehouses, and even homes, where it feeds upon flour and other grains (General Biology, 2014). Though flour beetles are harmless, they are a huge agricultural problem (General Biology, 2014). Due to their status as an agricultural pest, it is…

Results When we look at the results we must compare a native to a non-native to determine if the hypothesis is true. We determined earlier that we will compare American holly with Japanese privet, red bay with Florida anise tree, and kalmia with rhododendron. The American holly seemed to have more healthy leaves than the holly but not by much. The holly had 127 leaves with no damage while the privette had 139 leaves with no damage. The holly then had 97 leaves with less than ten percent damage…

My hypothesis is the wavelength light will affect the color of the leaf and the size of the fruit of the tomato plant. My goal is to see if there will be any changes in the tomato plant and its fruit. I will be seeking to answer the questions, "Will the wavelength of light affect the chlorophyll’s color in a plant?" and “Will this light also affect the size of a tomato plant’s fruit?” I will also answer the question, “Can plants live with missing one color or all the colors in the spectrum?”…
