Fish Respiration Rate Lab

Yoffe Assignment: Lab report (Introduction and discussion) Introduction The way in which different organisms acquire oxygen in exchange for carbon dioxide has truly evolved. The exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen is essential for the survival of organisms that need to produce the energy molecule ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration (breathing) is the way organisms exchange gases with their environment (White and Campo 2004). During cellular respiration organisms break down

Question tested:Does the temperature of the respiration rate affect the fish? Independent Variable: The independent variable is the temperature, and the temperature would be decreased by two degrees during the experiment. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable represents the respiration of the fish, and the respiration rate will be measure by the amount of times the fish opens its mouth during the experiment. Constant Variables and Control Group: The constant variables are the beginning temperature

in the cell of the body, for example cellular activity such as cellular respiration and its sub activtys like glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain all produce energy in the form of ATP and a byproduct of the energy production, heat is also produced . Although the cell is not 100% efficient thermodynamically, the energy in the form of heat is lost in the cell each time when energy is produced. Metabolic rates of an organism can be measured directly by the amount of heat lost from

metabolic rate of Carassius auratus auratus (goldfish). Carassius auratus auratus(goldfish) are native to eastern Asia and was first discovered by the Chinese. Unlike homoiotherm, Carassius auratus auratus(goldfish) are ectothermic, which means they adjust to their surrounding temperature. In this lab, the dependent variable is the rate of breath per 15 seconds and the independent variable is the temperature in Celsius. Since Carassius auratus auratus are ectothermic then their metabolic rate must go

Importance of nutrition on metabolism and fecundity of Artemia Franciscana and the significance at a commercial level Introduction Artemia sp. are widely used as first foods for larviculture of almost all marine fish species (Hache and Plante, 2011). On a large and industrial scale, similarly to intensive farming, species with reliably high culture performance, digestibility and high nutritional value is the objective. Artemia sp. have great potential because they are highly available; their

The purpose of this lab report is to determine the effects of a different environment condition such as temperature on the consumption of oxygen and ventilation in goldfishes (Carassius auratus). The consumption of oxygen and ventilation rate was measured in goldfishes at different treatment levels inside the tanks; ~ 25°C and ~15°C in a 15 minute time interval for one hour. At ~ 25°C, the ventilation rates in the goldfishes were higher than at ~ 15°C and there was more oxygen consumption at ~ 15°C

Why Are My Fish Dying? Lab Jillian Jeffries Cadiz Marine Eco Period 4 November 19’th, 2014 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to identify the element that is causing the fish in the Halibut tank to die, by testing each variable between both of the identical tanks. Background Information: To truly understand the cause of this awful fish mortality crisis in the HAGS Company, it is essential that we gather all the information we can about the normal living conditions of both the Halibut

environments less polluted. Healthy amphibians equal a healthy habitat for all. The reason why amphibians are considered biomarkers is because they have a rather unique skin. It is thin and permeable because most all amphibians use their skin for respiration. This also allows the skin to absorb and excrete water. That means if the water is polluted or contains impurities, the amphibian will absorb all these changes through their skin. This can make the animal very sick. It’s even worse for the larvae

Almost every type of human or animal cell can be grown in the laboratory. Animal experiments for cosmetics and household products continue even though non-animal tests are widely available. Instead of measuring how long it takes a chemical to burn the cornea of a rabbit’s eye, manufacturers can now drop that chemical onto cornea-like 3D tissue structures produced from human cells. Likewise, human skin cultures can be grown and purchased for skin irritation testing. Scientists have managed to coax
