Introduction

The null hypothesis for the experiment was that oxygen production is the same in both plants while the alternative hypothesis was that oxygen production and thus the rate of photosynthesis is higher in Ceratophyllum than in Cabomba due to its efficiency in carbon dioxide utilization (Kitaya, Murakami, & Takeuchi, 2003).

Materials and Methods

Experimental Design The research question to be answered in the experiment was whether there is rate difference, in oxygen production, in oxygen production between Ceratophyllum and Cabomba. It was predicted that each of the plants would have different oxygen production rates. The dependent variable was the rate in oxygen production ...

The Rate of Photosynthesis in Two Submerged Organisms (Cabomba and Ceratophyllum)

Introduction In this experiment, the set alternative hypothesis was that the rate of oxygen production in Cabomba was significantly different from the rate of oxygen production in Ceratophyllum. This was informed by the report from a previous study by Van and colleagues (1976) that indicated that Cabomba had a lower rate of photosynthesis compared to Ceratophyllum and Hydrilla that had similar photosynthetic rate.

Materials and Methods

Experimental Design The experimental independent variables were 6 grams for Ceratophyllum and Cabomba organisms while oxygen produced was the dependent variable. Water collected from the pond was used as the control in the experiment. The question ...

1. One line is parallel to another if the two have the same slope, thus they don’t intersect (Young, 2010). Therefore, to find a line parallel to a given line, it is firstly necessary to establish that the lines have the same slope. The slope value helps to construct a general equation of the lines parallel to the given one. For y=-2x+4 with the slope equal to -2, all parallel lines have the form y=-2x+b, where b is the y-intercept of the equation (the line intercepts y-axis b units away from the origin). Since the line ...

“One person’s abnormality is another person’s life.”-Alice Dreger

The extent to which one person’s abnormality is another person’s life is relative to the scope of anatomical normality or abnormality. Genetic abnormalities that relate to gender, otherwise known as anatomical sexual variation, are part of human intersexuality. Intersex is defined as the anatomical variation from the standard male or female gender, and is a pathological variable that require medical treatment. This means that an intersex child has the sexual anatomy of both genders. Intersex genitals may therefore be a sign of an underlying medical condition, but they are not a medical problem. The ...

Abstract

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus ...

The experiment aims at determining the value of gravitational acceleration (g) using simulation of objects under free fall, vertical acceleration, and objects in a projectile motion. Bodies fall under the influence of gravitational forces. The force mg acts on the body. However, when such objects are falling under the influence of gravity, such motions are referred as free fall. The assumption underlying free fall motions is that they do not encounter air resistance. The motion of free falling objects is characterized by a downward acceleration. The equations of motions are modified as shown below. ...

Abstract

The world in which we live is surrounded by a number of forces that may each act independently or jointly to keep nature in a state of equilibrium. A force is defined as either a push or a pull whose resultant effect may be either translational, or distortional (Andy, 2002). In this practical experimental undertaking, we investigate the distortional effect of force on objects. The main aim of this experiment is to prove the celebrated scientific law; Hooke’s Law. Aside from ascertaining the validity of the aforementioned principle, we proceed further to determine the spring ...
