Dependent Variables: metabolic rate
The more activity, the higher the metabolic rate or CO2 level.
1. Aerobic respiration: the process of metabolism where sugars are broken down in
that are necessary for the maintenance of life. In metabolism, some substances are
broken down to yield energy for vital processes while other substances, necessary
period.
includes: birds, mammals; (so-called “warm blooded” animals whose heat source
6. Thermoneutral zone: when metabolic rate stays constant only over a relatively
linear fashion with air temperature as animals try to keep their body temperature
fashion with decreasing air temperature as the animal “turns up the furnace”
(increases metabolic heat production) to keep its body temperature from falling.
7. Life cycle: (of mealworm beetle)
photosynthesis in the light because the closer the light was to the plant, the
efficiently at 700 nm and PSII at 680 nm. Light with a high proportion of
photosynthesis.
limited by another factor. CO2 goes up in the light and down in the dark.
we look at a leaf because chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light while
transmitting and reflecting green light. (Absorbs red, blue; reflects green)
1. Photosynthesis: involves the use of light energy to convert carbon dioxide and
water into sugar and oxygen. 6H2O + 6CO2 + light energy C6H12O6 + 6O2
3. Light-dependent stage or Dark stage: uses ATP and NADPH from the light
cycle to produce sugar (G3P). These reactions occur in a cycle called the Calvin
Cycle.
8. Benzoquinone: form polymers called melanin, which darken as they get larger;
catechol and oxygen when the substrates are exposed to different concentrations
of catecholase.
11. Denature: change shape
• Lab Report #8—DNA
The smaller (lighter) fragments travel farther towards the bottom of the
should be very little correlation of banding pattern between his DNA and
the child’s.
The child should have roughly ½ of its bands align with its mother, and
the bands that do not come from its mother must come from its father.
There should only be one father whose DNA matches these criteria.
3. Palidromes: DNA base pair sequences that are read the same leftright and
5. Anode: positive pole; the shorter the fragment, the more quickly it will move
6. Cathode: negative pole; the longer the fragment, the more quickly it will move
