Lab: Exercise and Homeostasis Lab Report

Biology
1 answer:
Contact [7]2 years ago

Answer:

The question that was trying to be answered in this lab was “How does exercise affect a person’s heart rate, breathing rate, and perspiration level?” Based on this question, the hypothesis that was formed was “If effects of exercise and exercise are related, then exercising will increase heart rate, breathing rate, and perspiration level”.

Background Information: THIS SHOULD BE PART OF YOUR INTRODUCTION

Before starting the lab report, the important background information that was collected was very helpful while performing the lab. For example, homeostasis is defined according to Dictionary.com as “the ability of the body to maintain relatively stable internal conditions”. Homeostasis in the body is maintained through three vital organs, as mentioned before, the kidneys, liver, and brain. These regulate the temperature, iron content in our blood, retention, and production of energy and overall blood composition. This was helpful because the whole lab report was based on homeostasis and the effect that it had on exercise. Another piece of information that proved to be very important explained the different types of changes that occur during exercise to help the body adjust to maintain equilibrium. These types of changes are perspiration and blood level.

When researching the typed of mechanisms that are used to maintain a constant body temperature, the information that was found was that “our bodies have nerve cells called thermo receptors that measure temperature of our internal body and external environment” (Godbole). When these nerve cells are stimulated by changes inside our bodies and in the world outside, they send their information to the brain, where it is mostly the job of the medulla oblongata to make changes to keep our internal body temperature constant.  

Exercise helps keep you fit and healthy by strengthening your muscles and making your heart beat faster. Your muscles, lungs, and heart all work together to move your body and make sure you are getting enough oxygen. This results in an increase in your breathing rate, or rate of ventilation. Your breathing rate is increased due to the fact that “your muscles are working harder then when they are at rest. This means that they need oxygen, along with sugars to complete cellular respiration.” (Why Does Your…) Your heart rate increases so that it can move the oxygen to the target cell in the muscles you are using quicker.

Materials and Methods:

Materials:

People to exercise

A clock or stop watch

Procedure:

Choose one volunteer to complete jumping jacks at a pace that can be maintained for eight minutes. Make sure the volunteer is inactive for a few minutes before the experiment begins.

Measure the heart rate by taking his or her pulse; you can do this one of two ways:

Radial Pulse

Carotid Pulse

Multiply the number of beats in 15 seconds by 4 to calculate the beats per minute. Record the data in the table below the 0 minutes box.

Measure the person’s perspiration level from 0 to 5: (0 = none; 5 = droplets dripping down the face). Note this observation in the table.

Have the volunteer do jumping jacks for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, measure the heart rate, breathing rate, and perspiration level (refer to steps 2 through 5), and record the data. Measure the pulse, breathing and perspiration levels as quickly as you can so that the volunteer can resume exercise. Do not have volunteer wait while you do the calculations and enter the data.

Repeat step 6 three more times (remember, 2 minutes each at a time, totaling 8 minutes) and record your data at each point.

After the final recording of the dependent variables, wait one minute with the volunteer at reset.

Then measure all of the variables again. Record this data under the “9 Time (Min.) Box”.

When a doctor observes your symptoms and tells you that you have flu, she is reasoning?
Hoochie [10]

When a doctor observes the symptom of a patient and tells that he or she is likely having a flu, the reasoning she or he used is likely from the effect to cause. The reasoning from effect to cause is having to check on the cause in order to produce or come out with the effect in which the symptoms is the cause of the flu, in which the flu is the effect.

Inga [223]

Answer: Option 4.

The fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is Hypertonic.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a solution that have little dissolved solutes i.e low osmotic pressure compare to other solution. When a cell is put in hypotonic solution, it take in water and the cell swell up and it does not burst due to it's cell wall thereby becoming turgid or hard.

Hypertonic solution is the solution where the concentration of solute is higher outside the cell than inside the cell. Example is saline water.when a cell is placed in Hypertonic solution it will shrinks because it losses water.

If we conduct a research investigation in these given situation. More specifically, an experiment this would suggest a most probable scenario of a cause and effect situation or technically called causality. 

Here the Independent variable is the exercise 
The dependent variable is the endurance.

Hence regular EXERCISE increases endurance. </span>

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

The effect on the growth of the full sunlight and green light or the increased carbon dioxide and normal air. There are several effects that can affect the growth of the plant can be affected. Provided options are directly or indirectly affects the variables that are unknown but can affect the growth of plants.

Increased in carbon dioxide does not leads to the decrease of other essential gasses in substantial amount, common uniform strain of seedlings are also cause effects the experiment of plant growth in specific manner. Light is also one of influential and limitation factor that affects the growth of the plant.

Thus, the correct answer is is option E.
