Ph Lab Report Bryon Kim 123013 B(2) Biology Background information/Research PH paper (litmus paper) determines how acidic or how basic a substance is. The paper changes color accordingly to color code on the pH scale. The pH scale starts from 0 to 14. The lower the number the more acidic it is. Zero is the most acidic‚ and 14 is the most basic while 7 is the neutral number for example water. Examples of an acid is lemon juice or multi purpose cleaner. Examples of a basic substance is shampoo or liquid soap

AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

experiment my supervisor Ms. Ehnar Jiy conducted. In this lab‚ i wanted to know if more active cells in our bodies require more energy. I started of by taking five samples of three different types of cell (skin cell‚ muscle cell and lung cell) and counted the mitochondria present in each by viewing the cells under a powerful optical microscope. According to my data‚ i found out that my hypothesis was accurate‚ i predicted that more active cells in our bodies require more energy then there will be a

Effects of Temperature on the Formation of Cheese Curds This lab was performed in order to find what temperature the enzyme chymosin is most effective at forming cheese curds. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up biological reactions in cells. They work by lowering the activation energy and help to orient the molecules correctly. Chymosin was originally taken from the stomachs of calves‚ and was called rennet‚ and then purified to make rennin. Eventually to catch up with

that makes it the perfect organism for the study of cells (Bonzzone‚ 2000). Tetrahymena can be obtained easily‚ and are often used to explore organelle structure‚ cell morphology‚ ciliary motion‚ and cell function and cell behaviors (Wheat-ley et al. 1994). The specific focus of our experiment was to examine the activity of phagocytosis and vacuole formation in Tetrahymena. This process was visualized by feeding methylene blue stained yeast cells and India ink to Tetrahymena (Keenan‚ 1984). In this

C6H12O6+6O2 or‚ carbon dioxide +water sugars + oxygen . This reaction takes place on the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and uses energy from sunlight to produce compounds like ATP and NADPH. The second stage of photosynthesis is the Calvin Cycle‚ which takes place in the stoma of the chloroplast. This stage is light-independent or it does not need energy from sunlight. During this reaction ATP and NADPH from Stage 1are used to produce high energy sugars. The reaction is 3CO2 + 6NADPH + 5H2O
