How will the rate of CO2 production by anaerobic respiration in yeast change depending on different sugar solutions of the same concentrations?

Experimental Lab Report- Fermentation of Different Sugars by Yeast Cells

Group member responsible:
We observed the rate of CO2 production and the temperature at the end of each reaction when each of the four sugars were added to yeast. We also used the thermometer to track the temperature at the end of each reaction to record it in Kelvin to use later.

Our research question is: How will the rate of CO2 production by anaerobic respiration in yeast change depending on different sugar solutions of the same concentrations?

Our hypothesis is: We will compare the respiration efficiency for the different sugars. We think that with the different sugars introduced, “the rate of CO2 production will become more efficient”.

Come up with at least 15 data entries. Create a video explaining your data and how to calculate the point estimate for the population mean. Include in your video how to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

W6 Discussion Question 1: Can you teach a confidence interval?

Purpose : The purpose of this week’s discussion is to demonstrate mastery of computing a point estimate by teaching to other students.

Post: Sometimes, teaching other students is the best way to show that you understand something. If you can teach your classmates to learn from your instruction, then you are truly mastering the topic.

This week, research something important in your life right now. (Examples include wedding costs, book costs, fuel tank capacities of vehicles, cholesterol levels, 1-mile running times, etc). Come up with at least 15 data entries. Create a video explaining your data and how to calculate the point estimate for the population mean. Also, include in your video how to obtain a 95% confidence interval for the mean.

Throughout the past few years, we have witnessed an increase in the occurrence, range, and severity of California wildfires. Using Smith’s reasoning regarding the classification of ”natural” disasters as human-made occurrences, analyze the wildfires that have burned in California in recent years and determine the ways in which human (in)action has contributed to the severity of these disasters.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

This Written Assignment entails two parts. First, you must do some research on the wildfires in California in recent years.  Second, you must  write  a clear, well-organized paper which answers the questions in Part II  of this assignment, while demonstrating that you have read the material in the modules.

First and foremost, we are grading your comprehension of the course material. If you do not demonstrate that you have read and understood the content from the modules, you will not receive a good grade. To get a good grade, you must show me that you have read and understood the content in the modules we have looked at so far.

Second, we are grading for critical thinking and analysis. How well do you form and support your arguments with evidence from the course material or external sources?

Third, we are grading for the mechanics – proper grammar, well-written paragraphs, answering all the questions, correct formatting of sources (if you use external sources, please use APA or Chicago Style(link is external) (link is external)to cite).

Written Assignment Instructions
In this assignment  you will build upon  concepts learned in Modules 8 and 9 by applying them to studying the "natural disaster" of wildfires in California. You may draw from relevant materials from the assigned readings, other modules, and additional outside sources.  The objective of this assignment is to increase your understanding of the relationship between vulnerability, natural hazards, and disasters, and to help you develop a more complex framework for understanding how natural disasters unfold.

Part I: Do some research
Read the following article on the nature of "natural disasters" and the complexity of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath:  Smith, Neil. “There’s No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster.” Blog. Understanding Katrina: Perspectives from the Social Sciences, June 11, 2006.(link is external)https://items.ssrc.org/understanding-katrina/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-natural-disaster/
Do some research on the factors causing the increased frequency and intensity of wildfires in California.
You will need to cite at least 3 reputable outside sources that do not include the course modules for your essay.

Part II: Write a paper
Write a 500-750 word paper that answers the following questions:

What does Smith mean when he states that there is "no such thing as a natural disaster"?
Throughout the past few years, we have witnessed an increase in the occurrence, range, and severity of California wildfires. Using Smith’s reasoning regarding the classification of  ”natural” disasters as human-made occurrences, analyze the wildfires that have burned in California in recent years and determine the ways in which human (in)action has contributed to the severity of these disasters.
How credible do you find Smith’s arguments? Is there really no such thing as a natural disaster?

You  must engage at least three course concepts  in your paper. Remember, engaging a course concept means defining that concept and explaining how it helps you think about the theme of your paper.  Please bold the concepts you engage in your paper.
