    to be as happiness. Which dictionary ever explains money to be a synonym of happiness? Which mathematician has ever given up a formula - LIFE + MONEY = HAPPINESS. None of the scientists ever brought up a formula – Money when given up at 100 degree Celsius gives you (Happiness)2 When none of us has ever come across such words and formulas, none of the great personalities has ever mentioned it, then who the hell has instilled it in our minds that money brings happiness. But among this debate one question

    But in other countries, such as England, you'll get the weather forecast in degrees Celsius. Recipes will advise you to bake a pie at 205ºC and not 400ºF. In fact, the Celsius scale is the most commonly used temperature scale in the world. This week, we have special cause to wonder about the history of this scale, because November 27 is the 300th anniversary of the birthday of the man who invented it. Anders Celsius was born in Sweden in 1701. His parents didn't know that their son's work would one

  • The Effect of Temperature on an Enzyme's Ability to Break Down Fat

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    Down Fat Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme’s (lipase) ability to break down fat. Hypothesis: The graph below shows the rate increasing as the enzymes get closer to their optimum temperature (around 35 degrees Celsius) from room temperature. The enzyme particles are moving quicker because the temperature increases so more collisions and reactions occur between the enzymes and the substrate molecules. After this the graph shows the rate decreasing as the enzymes

  • Thermal Protection Advantages And Disadvantages

    744 Words  | 2 Pages

    Thermal protection is a method of detecting over-temperature conditions and disconnecting the electrical power. This usually used to prevent fires or damage to electronics power supplies and equipment which may arise from the high temperatures. Temperature in power supplies rises due to both environmental factors as well as heat generated by the components themselves. There is heat from semiconductors such as transistors, ICs, switching devices, from transformers, inductors and resistors. The amount

    Heat Conservation Advantages for Penguins When Huddling Aim and Introduction My aim is to find out the heat conservation advantages are for penguins are when huddling. I will be huddling boiling tubes (to represent the penguins) containing hot water (to represent the penguins' blood) and measuring the temperature over a period of time. I also had a control boiling tube on its own to see how the temperature is affected by not huddling. =====================================================================

Without a calculated percent error, we are able to assume the average temperature was twenty-six degrees Celsius. There are factors that could have caused error to arise in our data collection. One factor could be that the temperature of the room was not consistent throughout the room. Another factor may have been the performance of the thermometer. The grasp

    their shells and whenever fresh hot water was added to the hot treatment to keep the temperature stable, the snails would get agitated and begin to crawl up the walls of the glass bowl. Generally, the 30 degrees Celsius temperature increased the locomotion of the snails, and the 5 degrees Celsius restricted its ability to move. In a study, it was concluded that muscle contraction is inhibited by low temperatures, therefore we predicted that the C. nemoralis would move much quicker when exposed to high

    The graph of rate of reaction against temperature did show that the 2 factors were proportional, but only up to a point. After 60 degrees Celsius the next temperature measurement showed that the reaction did not occur. I believe that this is because at some point between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius the Trypsin enzyme became denatured, (this is where the heat distorts the enzyme in such a way that stops it from functioning). While it is said that rate
