1. If you had to start your own business tomorrow, what would it be? If I were to start my own business tomorrow without financial constraint, I would open a bar that operates its taps and dispensers using wristband sensors. My bar’s walls will be lined with taps filled with various beers, wines, and liquors. Upon arrival to the bar, patrons would provide a credit/debit card to receive their wristbands for the evening. A patron would use his/her wristband when approaching a tap to activate the

Secondly, there is a need to develop tools and techniques for continuously sensing user activities of interest, in order to develop a variety of truly ubiquitous computing applications. Humans have always tried to monitor activities via the use of sensors, the introduction of Bodyscope to
The Effect of Temperature on the Amount of Oxygen Consumed During Cellular Respiration of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Purpose: To determine the temperature at which baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) respires most efficiently in order to produce the best baked goods as possible when utilizing yeast. Research Question: How does temperature affect amount of oxygen used during cellular respiration of yeasts? Introduction: Respiration is process of releasing energy from organic compounds in order
based protocols ensure sensor nodes balance between energy consumption and pre-determined QoS metrics like delay, energy, reliability and bandwidth, before delivering data to sink node. Sensor nodes have low processing capability, low memory power and limited transmission energy in addition to energy constraints. Hence the constraints impose an important requirement on wireless sensor network QoS support mechanisms including simplicity. Traffic flows from many sensor nodes to a small subset
turning it into glucose and oxygen. The chemical formula is 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2 and this is a light dependent reaction which occurs in the chloroplast of plants. The glucose will be used in cellular respiration for energy and some of the oxygen will exit the plant through the stomata to provide the world with air to breath (Simms, 2017). Cellular respiration is the next step which is a light independent reaction which takes the glucose and some oxygen from photosynthesis and produces
We collected water samples from Zoo Miami to determine how much Turbidity and Dissolved Oxygen our samples had. Our water samples were from the Amazon Lake and the Giraffe Enclosure, and we can say that the Giraffe Water is more turbid since the water has excrement and probably urine from the Giraffes. The Amazon Lake has more dissolved oxygen since the lake has a population of fish and probably algae and plankton. II. INTRODUCTION We collected water samples from the Amazon Lake and Giraffe
What is the effect of temperature on oxygen gas production in a Bos taurus liver catalase reaction, with substrate hydrogen peroxide, measured by a gas pressure sensor? Biological catalysts called enzymes are made by living cells and increase biochemical reactions that take place. Enzymes are globular proteins having a multiplex 3-dimensional structure, can increase the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being changed. Enzymes transform substrates into a product. Enzymes have a region
Tambopata is one of the most biodiverse rainforest of the amazon basin, small part of the “lungs of the world”. Rainforest play a huge important role in our world. Trees, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) that we exhale, and provide the oxygen (O2) we need to breathe. Although, deforestation in rainforest has been contributing to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, as a consequence atmospheric temperature may increase and threaten the viability of certain ecosystems. To understand this situation
a certain period of time under certain conditions. For this experiment we will be using carbon dioxide sensors to help us out with telling how much of it is
Using a laboratory incubator, the crickets were warmed up in a bottle fifteen degrees warmer than their natural environment of twenty degrees celsius for five minutes. After the CO2 sensor was connected to the computer, it could measure the CO2 levels in the air. For the sensor to measure just the crickets CO2 emissions, it completely covered the opening of the cricket’s bottle enough for it to be airtight. Using Logger Pro, the data was transmitted onto the computer into a line
catalase, which breaks down hydrogen peroxide, a harmful chemical, into water and oxygen. The reaction looks like this: 2H2O2 ----> 2H2O + O2. When this occurs,
1- Why does the body require continual intake oxygen? How does the body use oxygen? The body needs oxygen because without it, cells cannot function. The respiratory system brings in oxygen to the body, and it is circulated throughout the body via the blood in the circulatory system. The oxygen is a key ingredient in many cell processes, and without it, the body would fail. Oxygen is required for many processes in the body including making energy. 2- Why did land creatures have to develop a respiratory
levels will go down. During photosynthesis “When the plant makes the glucose molecule, it gets the carbon and oxygen atoms it needs from carbon dioxide,
the carbon dioxide levels when put in heat. After the Lumbricus terrestris sat for 2 minutes, they would be placed within the incubator with the CO2 sensor attached to the container. This procedure was produced 5 different times. If the temperature is increased, then all the Lumbricus terrestris will release more carbon dioxide into the air or CO2 sensor. In the results, these Lumbricus terrestris produced more carbon dioxide in a higher temperature than in a lower one. For every temperature that the
organisms. The catalase which this lab uses will be a 1% catalase solution but an example of natural catalase is the catalase found in the liver. Catalase reacts with hydrogen peroxide, binding onto it and breaking it down into the less toxic water and oxygen. The equation for this reaction is the following: 2 H2O2 = 2 H20 + 2 O2 This experiment will use 1% catalase solution and 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, both diluted into water so the reaction slows down. Temperature will be controlled in this experiment
One of the most common element in our environment is Phosphorus, is required in humans, animals and plants life. We take phosphorus into our bodies in the form of phosphates. Phosphate is the common inorganic form of phosphorus, which is present in the natural environment. Phosphates is an important part of many products that are useful in modern life and good health. a single phosphate compound can be used in a pharmaceutical, personal care products, cleaners and technical uses such as a fire
should be maintained. Water quality not only affects coral reefs, but the other organisms that live on it and are involved with the natural food chain. Some of the factors that can influence water quality are nutrients, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, light, and chlorophyll present. Water is essential to every living organism because it helps with respiration, maintaining body temperature, digestion and provides energy. This experiment involved taking water samples from Ferry Reach
predicted that if we lower the temperature of the ambient environment, then the frog will have increased available oxygen for respiration. Introduction We hypothesized that when the temperature of the environment is lowered it will result in increased available carbon dioxide levels for the frog. We predicted that if we lowered the temperature, then the frog will have an increase in oxygen level. Metabolism is the energy flow through the series of chemical reactions for an organism’s survival (Hoese
