Background
Center point for biosynthetic and metabolic activity
What is lipids
Our group's hypothesis for this experiment
What is the presence of glucose in a closed container with bean beetles will demonstrate the highest rate of metabolism after 7 days due to its monosaccharide properties (making it easily digestible) and the direct need for glucose for respiration
The amount of beetles you transfer into each Nalgene bottle (step 3)
What is 16
The substance that had a higher average among all three nutrient groups
What is Glucose?
The result of oversaturated Bean Beetles
What is negatively affected our results because we did not leave the bean beetles a choice on whether or not to approach the nutrient samples
Enters body as starch, sugar, or lactose
What is Glucose
The number of beetles in each Nalgene bottle (step 2, Day 1)
What is 25 Bean Beetles
The measuring instrument we use to record data
What is CO2 sensor
The answer to whether or not the data was significant
What is it was not significant
possible status of Bean Beetles during transfer
What is injured
increases after a diet high in fatty acids compared to a diet of low fatty
What is resting metabolic rate
The number of plastic containers we used
What is 6 small plastic containers
What you use to calculate standard deviation
What is each trial average
The number of nutrients that water needs to metabolize
What is none
possible error in the amount of time we gave the Beatles to re-adjust before and after we took CO2 readings
What is not enough time to readjust and could have leads to them being very active and us ruching to get them all that made the data collection process not as efficient and effective as it could have been
Occurs in response to a female Bean Beetle eating glucose
What is affects larval survival, development time, and reproduction
The temporal relationship between soaking the two cotton swabs ( Together? Or separately?)
What is separately
What part of the graph tells you the average CO2 production
What is the x-variable
essential fro the function of tissue and blood stream regulation
What is Glucose
The substance that began to grow in the glucose
What is mold
Our groups research question
What is how does the presence of water, glucose, and lipids affect the metabolic rate of bean beetles?
The time within the 30 seconds window in which you flip the cotton pad
What is 15 seconds
The part of each individual trial you graph and why?
What is the most linear part because you are trying to see a constant increase in CO2 production
One proposal for future research (name one)
What is
◦Compare different kinds of sugars or oils to see what is more efficient compared to the olive oil or glucose we already tested
◦Test different kinds of beetles under these same circumstances
◦Could also test temperature as an alternative measurement of metabolism
The effect of number of beatles in each trial
Not enough caused us to use beetles from other groups ()
