Effects of Temperature on Food Test
Introduction
There are processes which define what life is and how activities happen. Sometimes according to Liu, et al, (2582), the many process such as diffusion, active transport and osmosis take place do shape human beings. They dictate how food taken get digested and absorbed in the blood stream. The same case applies to all living organisms and how they live. Their lives are not different from that of human beings. Organisms include both plants and other small micro-organisms which sound not to be named animals.
The aspect of the experiment is to make investigate some biological process and determine how it is being affected or controlled by some known factors. The study is aimed at finding a permanent reason as to why temperature which is one of the many factors can ignite and control whatever situation at hand.
Materials
For the experiment to be successful the following materials were required. Without them the experiment will not be fully functional;
An oven,1 packet of salt, a spoon for mixing salt, 2 glasses, potato one piece, two water baths and a stop watch.
Question
What effect is experienced when a potato is put in salty water?
Hypothesis
Temperature increase, causes a corresponding increase in the movement of water molecules into the potato.
Scientific Terms
Osmosis, molecules, particles and Vibrations
Independent Variable
Salty water and its temperature
Dependent Variable
Water level in each glass
Control Group
Water without both salt and potato
Procedure
1 Add salt to one glass and stir it till it dissolves
2 Place the 2 glasses of water with same measurement ate the same room temperature
3 To each glass, I added three slices of potatoes
4 The glass which had fresh water, I placed a potato which had salt particles on a small depression on it
5 Immediately I started the stop watch and waited for time to elaspde
6 Till the 8hour.
