Thought experiment

The hypothesis that was tested in this experiment was that both strains of brewer’s yeast will grow better in fermentable sugars (sucrose) than in non-fermentable sugars (glycerol) because it is a better carbon source. The prediction for this experiment is that the fermentable sugar (sucrose) will cause the TRY 143 flo ↑ yeast to increase growth the greatest and the TRY 140 flo ↓ to increase in…

constructed by space aliens. Sagan believes there’s a dragon in his garage, but can’t explain if it’s actually there because he has no real evidence to show that there’s an actual dragon in his garage. He then experiments his theory, according to Sagan the dragon is invisible. In his experiment he spreads flour all over the floor to locate footprints but the dragon floats in the air. Next, he tries to detect the fire from the dragon with an infrared sensor, but the dragon produces heatless fire.…

dogs were removed were responsible for the discovery of insulin, which is important for the lives of diabetics (ProCon.org). Experimentation on chimpanzees is also responsible for a hepatitis B vaccine, and researchers are hopeful that similar experiments on chimps can yield a vaccine for hepatitis C (ProCon.org). Thalidomide, used for the treatment and prevention of a skin disease caused by leprosy, caused birth defects and death among infants. However, if tested on animals first, its…

acknowledges a counterargument to his argument. What is it? Wilson’s “nod” to his critics is best exemplified in the final paragraph of this article, in which Wilson points out that “Human behavior is complex, and it is not possible to conduct experiments to test all aspects of what people do or why. But there are entire disciplines dedicated to the experimental study of humans and they are tightly controlled and ethically acceptable ways.” Wilson is saying that the science of studying humans…

Tucker performed science in action by performing an experiment with skin tissue in order to determine the gene responsible for formation of the skin features. Example two relates to Lab #11, “Diversity and Adaptation”. “Skin organs” are relatively small features that allow organisms them to eat, survive, and…

most effective compliance techniques. Also, it is a huge manipulation tool for those who master and understand it. In the first study, there were six experimental conditions based on random assignments. There were only male participants in this experiment due to women being reluctant to comply…

Summarize: This article examines the effects of acute exercise on long-term memory. They assessed for memory by using a paragraph recall, in which participants listened to two paragraphs and then had to recall them 35 minutes later. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: exercise prior to exposure, exercise after exposure, or no-exercise. The participants included 48 young adults recruited from the University of North Carolina-Greensboro campus. There were 15 men and 33…

but they need to train first. There was a dog that won an award for answering questions his name is Villa. The author Dorothy Patent in the story talks about why animals became intelligent. But the question is how did they study the animal’s thoughts. Dorothy Patent wants us to know how and why they are smart. It states in the story that animals are trained to find drugs and things…

identification. There has been a debate whether it is more accurate to identify suspect through photograph or in person. A study by Megreya and Burton examined the effect of method used in identification process (2008). The study consists of two experiments; experiment 1 assessed how accurate people can remember unfamiliar face immediately after the presence. The study involved 92 participants of a University in Egypt, split into four group; two groups received live stimulus and the other…

1. This experiment compared the spatial selective attention between “neurologically normal young adults” and split-brain subjects by measuring response times when presented unilateral and bilateral visual arrays. 2. The purpose for this experiment was to gather information about spatial selective attention, and to investigate whether “an independent focus of attention is deployed by each surgically separated hemisphere in a visual search task, such that bilateral stimulus arrays can be scanned…
