3 Homeostasis Lab The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Purpose Students will identify conditions that need to stay constant to keep the body in equilibrium. describe how organisms maintain stable internal conditions while living in changing external environments. Materials thermometer stopwatch Background Exercise causes many factors of homeostasis to kick in to maintain internal equilibrium. How exercise affects some of these factors can be determined by measuring and observing certain conditions of the human body. Some of these conditions are: change in skin color on arms and face perspiration level external body temperature breathing rate heart rate Pre lab Notes 1. Working in groups of 3 or 4, select a student that will be able to perform jumping jacks well and will be able to maintain jumping for 8 minutes. The group member jumping will stop just long enough for the needed measurements and observations to be collected. 2. Record the resting observations and values of the person jumping rope using the following: skin color of hands and face (pale, pink, red) perspiration level (none, mild, medium, high) external body temperature (place the thermometer under the subjects arm pit for 1 minute; the thermometer should be directly against the skin) breathing rate (count the number of breaths in 1 minute) heart rate (find the pulse at the wrist and count the number of beats in 1 minute) Procedure 1. Make observations and measurements of the person do jumping jacks while they are sitting down and resting. Record your observations on the data table.

4 2. The student doing jumping jacks should begin jumping when the person with the stopwatch gives the signal and continue jumping for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes quickly make observations and measurements and record them on the data table. 3. The student will continue to exercise at 2 minute intervals until the 8 minute time period has been completed. After each 2 minute interval observations and measurements should be made. 4. When the 8 minutes is up, the student exercising will rest for 1 minute. After 1 minute, observations and measurements will be taken for the final time. Don t forget to record the data on the data table. 5. Clean the thermometer with alcohol and return it and all other lab materials to the designated area. 6. Make a separate graph for each of the following: External Body Temperature at Various Intervals of Exercise Breathing Rate at Various Intervals of Exercise Heart Rate at Various Intervals of Exercise 7. Answer the questions in the conclusion section to describe and explain the results of the lab. Data: Observations and Measurements During Various Intervals of Exercise Time Intervals Body Color Perspiration Level Body Temperature Breathing Rate Heart Rate Rest 2 Minutes 4 Minutes 6 Minutes 8 Minutes Rest After Exercise 1 Minute

21 Water Stacking Lab Background - This is where you will want to address that density is measure as a mass per unit volume so basically the more stuff or mass that is squeezed into a space the more dense an object becomes. Density should not be confused with weight. State that adding salt to a sample of water will raise the density since there is more mass in the same volume of water. Define salinity (how much salt is dissolved in water). You will also want to state that some seas have more salt in them than others such as the Dead Sea that has 9 times more than the ocean. You may want to note that it easier to float in the ocean than in a freshwater lake. Purpose - You are going to plan and execute an experiment which tests the densities of water samples. Hypothesis - This is where you are going to make an educated guess if you are going to be successful in reaching your purpose and WHY Materials - 5 prepared saline water samples, clear straws, test tubes or beakers, paper towels Procedure: 1. Gather supplies 2. Lower the straw about an inch into the first water sample. 3. Cover the straw with your thumb to trap the water in place. 4. Keep your thumb in place and then lower the straw further down into the second water sample 5. Quickly remove and replace your thumb. 6. Keep your thumb in place, and look closely at the straw. o What do you see? 7. If the two colors begin to mix, your first color has a higher salinity than the second color and is therefore denser. 8. If the two colors stay stacked; the first color has a lower salinity, and is therefore less dense. 9. Repeat the example again. This time, reverse the order of colors to compare the results. 10. Keep track of your findings and stack all five colors. Data:

22 Take pictures or draw the final product. Make sure you include labels. ( ex: lowest salinity) Conclusion: Reflect upon what you have learned. Include definitions again to show that you understand. Make sure you address the purpose in your conclusion.

24 Define: Energy pyramid - Food Web - Answer the questions: 1. What is the most plentiful member of a field ecosystem? 2. What is there always more of - producers or carnivore? 3. Some of the energy an herbivore eats becomes of part of its body; what happens to the rest? 4. As you move up the food pyramid, does the amount of energy lost become greater or less (read this carefully, I am asking how much is lost)? Go to this website and complete the activity: /383926/BL_02.html Prepare for the lab - print out and read the following lab.

25 Name Title: Starburst Energy Pyramid Introduction: When you eat dinner, how much of the food energy in the dinner goes to increase your biomass? 100% efficiency would mean that every pound you ate would add a pound to your weight. As you may know and be thankful for, this does not happen. Ecological efficiency refers to the percentage of energy passed on from one organism to the next in a food chain or pyramid. In this activity you will use a model to discover the amount of energy lost as it moves up the food chain. Procedures: 1. Your teacher will assign you to play an important part in the food chain. Stand where directed. Make sure you understand how many steps you are allowed to take. Producers take no steps (just like trees) Primary Consumers may take one step Secondary Consumers may take two steps Tertiary Consumers may take three steps 2. Make sure that you throw the candy over your shoulder and don t look at where it is going. 3. Participate in the class discussion that takes place outdoors. 4. You may be asked to model the scenario again. 5. Record the data and answer the analysis questions. Data: Trophic Level Round 1 Round 2 Sun Producer 1 st Consumer 2 nd Consumer 3 rd Consumer Analysis:

26 ! Life Science Homework 1. What happened to the number of Starbursts (the energy) as they moved through the food chain? 2. To calculate the percentage of energy lost at each level, divide the energy that was available at the start (in this example, 20,126 Kcal) by the amount of energy on the level. In this example, the producer level has 100%, although you know that all the available sun energy has NOT been captured. The next level is calculated by dividing 1,996 by 20,126 and multiplying by 100%. Using a calculator and rounding off, 10% of the energy remains on this level. Fill in the boxes for the 2 nd and tertiary consumers: 3. Calculate the percentage of energy transferred for our model:! 3. Why is the box at the base of the food pyramid larger than the top level? 4. A huge portion of the energy in the world is lost. For example sunlight: only about 20% of the sunlight even makes it to plants and algae. Most of the energy from the

27 sun is lost in space, reflected by clouds and water, or absorbed by the earth itself. How much energy is lost on average for the energy pyramids above? 5. Explain how ninety percent of the energy is lost from a cow before it ever even reaches you. As organisms die and decompose in the soil, their energy is not gone. For example, a dead tree can be cut and burned to produce heat, a different type of energy. Write three other example of dead organism providing energy long after it is gone. 1) 2) 3) 6. The starburst demonstration was a model of how an energy pyramid can work. Like all models it has weaknesses that make it unrealistic in some respects, name at least one.

44 Lab title: Observing Osmosis Lab Purpose: To observe osmosis through diffusion. Background: Diffusion is defined as the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. Selectively permeable means that some molecules can move through a membrane and others cannot. Movement through membranes is called transport. Diffusion and osmosis are passive forms of transport which means they do not need energy to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Active transport require energy.

Check your sketch with the one on page Carbohydrates that are attached to some proteins face outward and serve ID cards so cells can recognize each other. 3. Diffusion is the passive process of water and other materials passing through semipermeable membrane. Osmosis is the passive diffusion of only water passing through a semipermeable membrane (like a cell membrane). In both, molecules travel from a higher concentration to a lower concentration and do not use ATP energy. 4. a. diffusion b. osmosis (could be diffusion) c. diffusion d. Active Transport e. osmosis or diffusion f. diffusion 5. The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts reflects green light and appears green. 6. When you breathe in, you are taking in oxygen that is needed for cellular respiration. When you exhale, you are getting rid of carbon dioxide and water, the products of cellular respiration. 7. Yes, plants need to carry out cellular respiration so they can get carbon dioxide in their system to carry out photosynthesis. 8. Photosynthesis Cellular Respiration Definition Process where plants use sunlight to produce high energy molecules process where high energy molecules are converted into a form of energy that cells can use Reactants Carbon Dioxide, Water, Light glucose and oxygen Products glucose carbon dioxide and water Organisms that perform process plants animals Where it occurs chlorplasts mitochondria
