Background Information To fully understand the purpose of the research one must understand the relationship between bumble bees and humans. Most people are not the biggest fans of bumble bees, especially those who have been on the receiving end of their sting, however, bumble bees and people are able to coexist because people need the plants that the bees pollinate to live. While this analogy is not perfect, it does illustrate interactions that occur in an emulsion. An emulsion occurs when two liquids are suspended together, even though they do not mix well. The two liquids are stabilized by an emulsifier, just as the necessity of plants keep people from destroying all the bumble bees. The emulsion that this research investigates is heavy …show more content…
Before the final product of butter is created, there are three stages that will occur while shaking. First the whipping cream starts as a liquid, which is the state that the fat globules are floating around. As the shaking begins, the fat globules smash into each other which causes them to break open. This is when a sloshing sound will be heard in the container. As the shaking continues, the sloshing noise will begin to fade and the container becomes a little heavier. At this point the fat particles that were in the globule now flow out and separate from the water to form their own clump. Finally, after the milk and fat particles stick together, the sloshing will turn into thud sounds as the butter that has formed hits the container. After enough interruption, the clump gets bigger and bigger to form a solid amount of butter. Nevertheless, as these particles go through this physical change, there are other factors that could affect the portion of butter cream supplied from …show more content…
This is based on the fact that temperature has an effect on the rate of reaction. “The collations theory says that as more collisions in a system occur, there will be more combinations of molecules bouncing into each other” (Rate of Reaction). If the temperature increased, the fat particles have more energy and begin to move faster, causing the fat particles to combine and clump at a faster rate. If the cream was cooled, the fat particles would collide less and move at a slower rate, resulting in a slower reaction time. Consequently, if the cream is too hot, the fat globules soften and collapse, enabling the globules to collide and form the clump that will create butter. Therefore, if the various temperatures of cream are shaken for the same amount of time, the room temperature will yield the greatest amount of fat mass from

Bumble Bee Research Paper

The Rusty Patches Bumble Bee, Bombus affinis, is one of the most important bumble bee species in the United States because of its unique pollinating habits. The colonies are composed of a single queen bee, which is the largest, and many female workers. Males are only kept for mating purposes, and they have the same rust colored spots across their backs that the worker bees have. The queen is the only one without the patches (“Fact Sheet,” 2017). The queen is easy to pick out from the rest of the…

Endangered animals are a rising issue in Canada, and extinction is happening at a higher rate than ever historically documented (“Why do Animals and Plants become Endangered?”). Habitat loss is a massive contributor to the loss of endangered species. Bumble bees and sea otter are currently, or were, at risk of extinction. To begin, habitat loss is one of the main contributors to endangered animals. An example of habitat loss is turning forests into farmland. According to the Committee on the Status of Endangered…

Honey Bees Research Paper

Honey bees (as shown in Figure 1) make up 80% of the world’s pollinating insects. One third of crops around the world depend on pollination and need honey bees in order to grow and survive. For example, apples, carrots, and onions have a 100% dependence on insect pollinators and 90% of that pollination comes from the honey bee while almonds depend on honey bees 100%. It is estimated that honey bees pollinate fifteen billion dollars worth of crops in the United States alone. About one third of every…

Case Against Western Honey Bees

Against Western Honey Bees in North America Pollinator insect populations are dwindling across the globe. Facing multiple obstacles, including habitat loss, harmful pesticides and invasive competitors, native pollinators must be given opportunities for success- but that does not apply to all species. In North America, Western Honey Bees are disrupting the native ecosystem by outcompeting thousands of native pollinators; these invasive bees should not be protected. Western Honey Bees are hearty, and well…

Honey Bees Impact On Society

species of bees that contributes an important role to support the various ecosystems we live in and surround ourselves in every day. This flying insect family I’ve come to talk about today is the Anthophila. There are up to about 20,000 known species of bees on Earth and are recognized in seven families that are found everywhere on Earth except Antarctica, reason to that is because bees require flowering plants to feed and pollinate, and a site to build a colony. Some of the 4,000 species of bees in North…

some plots he learned in movies and books, which lead him to Broadmoor. Later on, he tried to convince the psychiatrists that he was not mentally ill. For instance, he talked to the nurse about an article he read, that the U.S army was training bumble bees to detect explosives, and this behavior, was recorded by the nurse, as a sign of illusion. Also, he tended to stay in his own room, because patients in adjacent wards were “serial killers” (Ronson). And this action, again, was perceived as proof…
