1. Aquatab Temperature Experiment
The graph above shows the mean and median time for the reaction rate. The times were converted to
seconds for ease of use. The mean times are the average time that the Aquatab required to finish its
reaction. The mean times for the different temperatures show the overall trend and effect of the
temperature on reaction rate it allows for quick and accurate conclusions to be found. From the data
the conclusion was formed that temperature had a noticeable effect on reaction rate. The mean
values were as follows: 322s (cold 8–13⁰C), 82.56s (ambient 25–28⁰C) and 34.82s (hot 35–37⁰C).
Cold water had a noticeable time difference to ambient and hot temperatures, that being that cold

2. Homeostasis: A Change Of Body Temperature
The body must maintain a constant state of equality called homeostasis so that our body will operate
at its max potential. The definition for homeostasis is "The tendency of an organism or a cell to
regulate its internal conditions, usually by a system of feedback control, so as to stabilize health and
functioning, regardless of the outside changing conditions." (Biology–Online) So basically an
organism tries to no matter its external conditions maintain the optimal internal conditions so that its
internals don't take damage from the temperature and will remain at the normal and expected
operating temperature.To do this the animal must consume energy from inside its body so that it can
perform the act of maintaining homeostasis. This energy most often comes from ... Show more

For instance, in the case temperature and homeostasis if a human's body can't actively calculate and
compensate for exterior temperatures then things like overheating or even hypothermia can occur. If
exterior temperatures are lower than the required internal temperature then over time a person's
internal temperature will fall leading to hypothermia and death, but homeostasis is supposed to
prevent that by using energy to maintain the correct body temperature. If there is even a one degree
change in celsius is can lead to harm for the body and usually signifies that there is something
wrong not to mention it shows just how sensitive the body and brain are to temperature changes.
When there are such temperature extremes and your body has to consume energy to control and

Procedure
SAFETY: Always carry scalpels clasped to a tile and with the tip pointing away from you.
Beetroot cells contain pigments called betalains that give the tissue its dark purple–red colour. The
pigment is contained in the cell vacuole.

have enough for one core for each temperature of water bath that you will be using. Put your 2 cm
sections into a test tube with plenty of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This means that the vacuole contents will more readily leak into the water in the test tube. The
higher the temperature, the greater the disruption to the plasma membranes and the more pigment
will leak out in 30 minutes.

size of the beetroot cores (their surface area and volume), the advance treatment of the beetroot
cores, the volume of water in the test tubes, the pre–heating (or chilling) of the water in the test
tubes using the water baths, the length of time the cores spend in the water baths, the treatment of
the cores after heating. The experiment could be made more reliable by using more samples of
beetroot, and by maintaining the temperature with thermostatically–controlled water baths.

The automatic temperature control system is a very essential feature of a factory or an industry. In
most of the case the temperature plays a vital role in the process of manufacturing or the process
carried in that factory or industry.
The most common and simplest way of controlling temperature is by using a fan which is
automatically connected to a network such as it is switched on when the temperature of the
surroundings increases.
The change in temperature of the surroundings can be sensed with the help of thermistor or a

From the above discussion it is concluded that for the having low output from the timer 555, the
voltage on the threshold input must exceed the control voltage or + 2/3 VCC. They also turn the
discharge transistor on. To force the output from the timer high, the voltage on the trigger input must
drop below +1/3 VCC. This also turns the discharge transistor off.
A voltage may be applied to the control input to change the levels at which the switching occurs.
When not in use, a 0.01 nano Farad capacitor should be connected between pin 5 and ground to
prevent noise coupled onto this pin from causing false triggering.
Connecting the reset (pin 4) to a logic low will place a high on the output of flip–flop. The discharge
transistor will go on and the power amplifier will output a low. This condition will continue until
reset is taken high. This allows synchronization or resetting of the circuit's operation. When not in
use, reset should be tied to +VCC.

Investigating the Effects of Temperature on the Rate of Respiration of Blowfly Larvae
This experiment was setup to investigate the effects of temperature on the rate of respiration of
blowfly larvae.
Background Knowledge
The maggots involved in this investigation were blowflies at the larval stage of development, and
they breathe through spiracles in the anterior and posterior segments. The respiratory tracts are not
as developed at this stage, as the organism is not capable of flight, and so it respires less oxygen
than an adult blowfly. They feed on dead organic matter. The respiration of an organism involves an
intricate use of enzymes, and so some knowledge about them is necessary. ... Show more content on

However, recent studies point towards the induced–fit hypothesis, which means that the substrate
and the enzyme are not identical, yet in the presence of the substrate the active site changes slightly,
in order to make it a more "snug" fit. These theories pertain to a further point – the fact that an
enzyme is specific; the majority just have one possible type of substrate molecule. An increase in
temperature affects the rate of an enzyme–controlled reaction in two ways. First of all, the kinetic
energy of all of the molecules is increased, thus increasing their speed. If they move faster, they
have more chance of an enzyme colliding with a substrate molecule, and so reacting. This is known
as collision theory. The increase of rate can be determined by the Q10 law. This states that for every
10 degrees in temperature in an enzyme–controlled reaction, the rate of that reaction will double,
until 40 degrees is reached. After this point, the enzyme may start to denature. This is when a certain
factor affects the bonds holding the amino acids together, and they start to break, eventually
resulting in the enzyme unravelling. Generally this occurs between 40 and 60 degrees.

1. During a summer day the air temperature goes through the most fluctuations. It is much easier for
the ambient air temperature to increase and decrease rapidly. It takes much longer for the much
denser ground to both heat up and cool down. During the day the sun's radiation heats up the air in
the atmosphere. This happens for many hours and causes large increases in temperature. The air
temperature increases as this occurs, whereas the ground takes much longer. Additionally when the
sun sets the temperature begins to drop. The air temperature drops rapidly, but the ground
temperature does not. This is due to the insulating properties that the ground possesses. Therefore it
can keep a certain temperature for longer and is more resistant to ... Show more content on

Theses similar patterns do not mirror the patterns observed in the summer data. The primary reason
for this is due to the fact that the reduced amount of sun from a lower aspect and less time in the sky
means that both ecosystems don't have time to be affected. Both soil temperatures sit around the
same average since there is no real exposure to sun and both are insulated. The natural density of
dirt and other contributions to the soil insulate it from temperature changes. The air temperature in

13. Optimum Temperature Of Amylase
This experiment was needed to determine the optimal temperature at which the enzyme amylase
best functions. Since an increase in temperature speeds up the movement in molecules, the substrate
is supposed to come in contact with the active site of the enzyme more quickly and frequently until
the heat becomes an obstacle by denaturing the structure of these enzymes and thus changing its
function.
There were a total of four different temperatures at which amylase activity was observed (Table 1).
In order to ensure that temperature was the only manipulated variable, four test tubes were prepared
with the same contents. Each tube contained about 2mL of the 1% starch solution, 4mL of deionized
water, 1mL of a 6.8 pH buffer. After 10 minutes of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It was predicted that as temperature increases, the chemical reaction would accelerate mainly
because the increased temperature would speed up the motion of molecules. "Microorganisms are
efficient degraders of starch, chitin, and the polysaccharides in plant cell walls" (Warren, 183). For a
variety of biological purposes, plants break down long polysaccharide (starch) molecules into
disaccharide (maltose) molecules and monosaccharide (glucose) molecules. There is no reason to
assume that amylase is the only enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of starch (Paleg, 904). As the
results show, the reaction that consumes starch and produces maltose would eventually go to
completion; however, with the addition of the enzyme amylase, the reaction should significantly
speed up. It was also determined via this experiment that the addition of amylase is not the only
variable that influenced the speed of this reaction; temperature also played a huge role. The
evidence gathered in the experiment supported the hypothesis and matched the prediction: there was
a great increase in amylase activity in higher temperature experiments up until the enzymes begin to
denature. There were two ways to gather data that would prove the change in the reaction rate in
presence of the amylase enzyme: the appearance of maltose or the disappearance of starch. The
second test was used for this specific

14. The Effect Of Temperature On Catechol Oxidase
Abstract: The Effects of Temperature on Catechol Oxidase. Lania Ellis, 2014, 102 Student Center
Dr. San Marcos, TX 78666.
Temperature can affect the reaction of catechol oxidase by speeding up or slowing down the
reaction. I was able to see what happened to the absorbance after changing the temperature of the
catechol oxidase solution. I did this by heating and cooling the solutions to measure the absorbances
in hot, cold, warm, and room temperature. Then the data was compared to see how the temperature
effected the solution. The catechol oxidase solutions reacted best in room temperature (twenty–three
degrees Celsius) and the worst in the cold (zero degrees Celsius). I concluded that temperature
really does affect the way catechol oxidase reacts. Introduction: Starting out with some background
information, I know that enzymes are biological catalysts. The enzyme that I used for this
experiment was potato juice. Enzymes make reaction rates go faster. They lower activation energy,
making chemical reactions. Temperature has an effect on canola cultivars. The higher temperature
decreased stem diameter, but room temperature had thicker stems. So I believe the same will happen
for the catechol oxidase; the solution will react faster at room temperature. Other enzymes can also
have different effects such as the enzyme in cattle serum. The enzyme lost activity in room
temperature. With that being said room temperature can also be detrimental with specific enzymes.

When a person describes someone, as being "warm" one understands it as a person who is friendly

psychological feelings (Chen et al., 2014). Hence, why we use temperature as a way to expressing

other group received the ball frequently. Finally, the participants were handed a survey that
measured which foods they desired more and it was found that the socially excluded group desired

The Temperature of Poetry
Poetry is one of the stranger parts of the literary world. A poem can be anything, from a three–lined
poem known as a haiku to a giant epic poem like the "The Odyssey." They can be rhyming or non–
rhyming, long or short, sensible or nonsensical. Even lyrics in songs can be considered poetry,
seeing as how they are rhyming and flow so well. The parameters for a poem are wide, the
requirements few; but no matter what kind of poem you read, from Homer to Doctor Seuss to John
Mayer, symbolism is the driving force behind it all. Symbolism is the basis for almost every piece of
poetry written so far, barring some of the works of Doctor Seuss. One recurring piece of symbolism
found throughout the literary world is the use of temperature. The warmth of the sun or a comforting
smile, the cold of night or a dark hospital room, temperature plays a part in many poems and plays
its part well. But the part it plays can vary from writer to writer, poem to poem. The three major
uses of temperatures though are to show the warmth of memory versus the harsh cold of reality, the
warmth of comfort, and how warmth is used to show life and vitality while cold is used to signify
harshness and cruelty.

property of the heat, (solid, liquid or vapor) of the substance during pressure, temperature and
common desire composition is an important tool to remember before figuring up its heat. Heat
capacity could be determined by the capacity of the temperature of an object multiplied by the mass

The chickpeas in the hottest temperature tested produced the most amount of carbon dioxide
meaning that the cellular respiration rate of the chickpeas was increased. The coldest temperature
tested also produced the least amount of carbon dioxide meaning cellular respiration decreased in
those chickpeas. For the most part the experiment ran more smoothly than expected. A few time
during testing the test chamber was knock over but these accident had a minimal effect on the final
outcome. There were sudden jumps when testing the runs in Figure 1, but the jumps were never
major enough to cause a retrial. These jumps can be attributed to the fact that the carbon dioxide
production was taken every 10 seconds in the 240 second experiment so anything outside
disturbance during that time was reflected in the data. Overall the data completely supports the
hypothesis. The 42°C run produced the highest slope, the 5°C run produced the lowest slope, and
the room temperature (22°) run was in between the two other slopes. The 5°C run did have the most
amount of ppm's recorded, but this means nothing in the long run since the slope was still the lowest

The results increase steadily between 0°C and 45°C. There is a steep increase between 45°C and
65°C. This is the point when the proteins in the cell membranes are denatured causing gaps to form
in the membrane, thus allowing more red pigment from the beetroot to diffuse into the distilled

An increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of betalain molecules thus increasing rate of
diffusion of the red pigment from the cytoplasm into the distilled water. The denatured proteins and
an increase in the fluidity of the phospholipid causes the substance contained in the membrane to
leak out.
There is a small increase in the spectrophotometer reading between the temperatures 0C–23C. This
is because the membrane structure becomes more rigid and less red pigments leak out of the
membrane.
Validity and Reliability
The experiment is repeated twice and an average is obtained. This ensures the consistency of the
measurement as the reading is triplicated, thus reducing anomalies. It can be seen that the reading
obtained were around the same value. This proves that the results are reliable.

24. The Effect Of Temperature On A Chemical Reaction
Leonardo Cufone
Aim: to determine the effect of temperature on a chemical reaction.
Hypothesis: If the temperature (I.V.) of materials in the reaction are increased, the reaction time
(D.V.) will decrease.
Variables: In this experiment, the temperature (in degrees Celsius) of the chemicals is the
independent variable. To change the temperature, the materials are placed in a bath of water being
heated by a hotplate.
The reaction time (in seconds) is the dependent variable of this experiment. This will be changed by
the temperature of the chemicals, and as it is affected by the independent variable it is considered
the dependent variable.
The volume of chemicals (in mL) is the controlled variable of the experiment. As it will be the same
in each trial and will not be changed, it is considered the controlled variable. Another controlled
variable is the equipment that is used. For each trial the same equipment is always used, and
therefore is also a controlled variable. The type of chemicals themselves are also controlled as for
each trial they are the only chemicals used.
Safety: There are two potential hazards in this experiment.
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) has risks as it is a corrosive compound. Corrosive compounds, including
HCl, can cause injuries such as burning and eating away skin and eyes. To prevent such injuries, do
not come into physical contact with HCl. Wear safety glasses, safety gloves and lab clothing.

25. Temperature, Temperature And Gas Solubility
Temperature
Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy (or speed) of atoms or molecules (Khan
Academy, 2017). The most typical units of temperature include degrees Celsius (oC), its American
equivalent Fahrenheit (F) or Kelvin (K).
At standard temperature, 0oC corresponds to 273 K. However, 0K is commonly referred to as the
'absolute zero degree' where all molecular motion would cease.
Temperature and gas solubility:
Generally, increasing temperature would cause a comparable rise in the solubility of liquid and solid
solutes in liquid solvents.
A specific example includes the crystallisation of a concentrated mannitol solution at low
temperatures and the redissolving of those solid crystals as upon heating. However, ... Show more

The particles in liquids, on the other hand, although still close within the proximity of one another,
are in random arrangements, having slightly more space to move. As the particles are still held
close, liquids also exhibit high densities. Water, however, is a prominent exception, being different
as it is denser as a liquid than a solid. Upon freezing, the water particles separate slightly, forming
crystal lattices with space between each particle that allow icebergs and ice cubes to stay afloat the
water (BBC, 2017).
Water, nevertheless, is much denser than air as gas particles have considerable space between one
and another. Water molecules, therefore, exert greater pressure on a diver's body as he descend into
the ocean than air particles would on a pilot ascending into the sky. This serves to justify why the
change in pressure is much greater for a given depth in water than for the same rise in air.
Volume
Volume can be defined as the quantity of three–dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid or gas
and is one of the most commonly used measurements worldwide. Several of the most typical unites
of volume include litres, millilitres, cubic metres, cubic centimetres and gallons (Helmenstine,

They can be used to detect liquid, gases or solids over a wide range of temperatures.
Non –contact temperature sensor:
Convection and radiation is used in these types of temperature sensors to monitor change in
temperature. They can be used to detect gases and liquids that emit radiant energy as heat rises and
cold settles to the bottom in convection currents or detect radiant energy being transmitted from an
object in the form of infrared radiation.
Two basic types of contact or non–contact temperature sensors can be divided into following groups
of sensors i.e. electromechanical, resistive and electronic.
Thermostat:
It is contact type electro–mechanical temperature sensor or switch which basically consists of two
different metals such as nickel copper ,tungsten or aluminium etc., that are bonded together through
riveting, brazing or welding to form a Bi–metallic strip. The different linear expansion rates of two
different metals produce a mechanical bending moment when strip is subjected to heat. It shows
bending moment in opposite direction when subjected to cold environment. The metal with large

Air Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the air, or how

the air and form dew, and a measure of how much moisture is in the air. If the temperature reaches
the dewpoint then dew will begin to form. If the temperature is at the dewpoint and the temperature

It can be artificially attained by increasing the kinetic energy of some solutions to allow more solute
to dissolve into the solvent; then if a disturbance is created (either by a seed crystal, or an impurity

Describe the effect of heat on the motion of particles, and explain changes of state using the particle
model of matter.
There are four basic components for thermal energy (heat): 1. All matter is made up of tiny particles
called atoms. These can only be seen with special microscopes. 2. The atoms are always moving –
they all have kinetic energy. 3. The particles have space between them. Different states of matter
have different amounts of space. 4. Adding heat (energy) to matter makes the particles move more
quickly. Since faster moving things have more kinetic energy, adding heat increases the energy of
the particle. 5. Cooling it down decreases the amount of kinetic energy and slows the movement

This study depicted that common wombat burrows provide a constant temperature 1–2m from the

(Reichman & Smith 1990), with the main factors that did influence burrow temperatures being time
of day, elevation during summer and aspect during autumn. There are few studies in the literature
that display the influences of elevation and aspect on burrow temperatures so these may present

to be regarded as an appropriate mechanism of thermal tolerance. The influence temperature has on

BACKGROUND
As energy flows from a liquid, its temperature drops. The entropy, or random ordering of its
particles, also decreases until a specific ordering of the particles results in a phase change to a solid.
If energy is being released or absorbed by a substance remaining at the same temperature, this is
evidence that a dramatic change in entropy, such as a phase change, is occurring. Because all of the
particles of a pure substance are identical, they all freeze at the same temperature, and the
temperature will not change until the phase change is complete. If a substance is impure, the

ambient temperatures. During the period of stable daily weather fluctuations of mid to late October
subterranean daily mean temperatures varied insignificantly from ambient temperatures (p = 0.75).
Further deviation in the mean occurred with an increase in the intensity of temperature swings late

35. Fermentation : The Effect Of Temperature Essay
Fermentation: The Effect of Temperature
Introduction
Fermentation is a metabolic pathway that allows a cell to perform cellular tasks by shifting the
energy in the glucose bonds to the bonds in ATP in the presence of less oxygen. Fermentation occurs
to allow the process of Glycolysis to continue to produce ATP for the cell. In the process of
fermentation, NADH is oxidized. Pyruvate directly gains the electrons from NADH, instead of the
electrons going to the electron transport chain. To better understand fermentation, one could
compare cellular respiration with fermentation. Cellular respiration is a longer process that includes
Glycolysis, pyruvate processing, the citric acid cycle, and the Electron transport chain. However, if
oxygen levels needed are not present, Glycolysis produces pyruvate which yields diverse products
in fermentation. Variables can effect fermentation, such as temperature. Temperature can cause
kinetic energy in reactions. If the temperature was high, reactions in fermentation can speed up
because molecules have excited electrons. However if the temperature is at an extreme, molecules
such as proteins can denature. Brownian movement can be exemplified in a solution subjected to
kinetic energy because movement of molecules are irregular, disorganized, and agitated. The
process of fermentation is significant due to its importance and impact on living organisms.

Heat fracture is when an increase in volume is observed, due to an increase in temperature. Simply
meaning that while a material is being heated, the rise in temperature causes it to take up more
space. Heat fracture doesn't only deal with high temperatures, it also deals with the effects of
cooling on a material. If cooling occurs then the opposite of expansion occurs as well, the material
will begin to shrink or decrease in size. Continuous heating and cooling will eventually lead to
stress and that makes the material break or fracture. When the material going through this type of

The transportation industry wants to know how to melt ice on the road faster. The food industry
wants to keep things frozen longer during transportation. The freezing and melting point of a liquid
or solid, depending, may seem like it would be the same science, but it is not. Small differences can
be observed. One point is that you can not heat an object above melting point without it melting. It
is, however, possible to cool some liquids to a temperature below their freezing point without them
turning solid. This process is called supercooling. Supercooling a liquid is possible because particles
in a solid become packed in a normal structure that is a characteristic of a certain substance. Some
solids form easily. Other solid substances do not form easily. Because it is hard to heat metals to a
temperature above melting point,and easy to cool them to a point below freezing, melting point
becomes a distinguishing factor of the metals.
The boiling point of a liquid is when a liquid is heated to such a temperature that the vapor pressure
is enough so that bubbles form inside the liquid. At the boiling point liquid begins to turn to gas. A
liquid will boil until all of the liquid has evaporated. The normal boiling point of water, as stated

According to Ahrens (2015), the earth's atmosphere contains nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2), with
small amounts of water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (C¬2) (p. 4). Scientists believe the process
for formation of today's earth's atmosphere started billions of years ago. Ahrens (2015) stated the
earth's first atmosphere was comprised of hydrogen and helium as well as methane and ammonia
but is believed to have escaped into space due to the heat of the earth (p. 5). The assumption here is
that a second atmosphere was created due to the excessive heat from volcanoes and steam vents
comprised of mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide with trace amounts of nitrogen (Ahrens, 2015,
p. 5). As the earth started to form its rivers, lakes, and oceans the water began to absorb mass
amounts of the carbon dioxide converting the atmosphere into a nitrogen and oxygen rich
atmosphere (Ahrens, 2015, p. 5).

The Effect of Temperature on the Enzyme Peroxidase The objective of this experiment is to explore
the effect of temperature on the enzyme peroxidase. To comprehend the effect that temperature can

function is. Enzymes are proteins that are found in cells that function as catalyst (Ms. Chang's
Enzyme Notes). What is meant by this is that enzymes increase the speed of chemical reactions
without changing the chemical equilibrium between reactants and products or becoming consumed
or permanently modified by the reaction through lowering the activation energy barrier (Enzymes).
Enzymes are necessary in order to sustain life because without them, the chemical reactions that
take place in our cells would occur far too slowly (Ms. Chang's Enzyme Notes). In order to generate
chemical reactions, enzymes must bind to a substrate. A substrate is a specific reactant that an
enzyme acts upon in order to generate product. A substrate binds to the active site on the enzyme,
which is a groove or cavity on the surface of the enzyme in which the substrate flawlessly fits.
Active sites are typically composed of amino acids from various portions of the polypeptide chains
that are drawn together in the tertiary structure of the folded protein (Enzymes). Each type of
