INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CATALASE ACTIVITY AIM The aim of this experiment is to find out the effect of temperature on catalase or hydrogen peroxide. This will enable us to tell at what temperature hydrogen peroxide is most efficient. This (degradation) reaction will help us determine some of the catalase’s different attributes. HYPOTHESIS In this experiment it would be safe to hypothesise that no activity would take place at 1 to 20 degrees. It would be probable that a

2014 Tyrosinase Enzyme Lab Question What are enzymes and how can we cause changes in enzyme function? Objective The objective of this experiment is to observe if changes in temperature will cause a disruption in enzyme function. Hypothesis If we add and boil enzyme in L-Dopa‚ then the color will become darker because the temperature will denature some of the enzymes. Variables Independent: Temperature Dependent: Color change Control: Time‚ Room temperature Jobs We were assigned

Diffusion & Cell Size Lab Background The absorption of nutrients‚ excretion of cellular wastes‚ and the exchange of respiratory gasses are life processes which depend upon the efficient transport of substances into‚ out of‚ and throughout living cells. The process of diffusion can be easily visualized by adding a drop of blue food coloring to a glass of water. Initially‚ the food coloring remains in a small area in the water‚ dying it a dark blue. Over time‚ the molecules of food coloring

Research Report Introduction: The scientific principle that governs this kind of experiment was Combustion Reaction. It is a reaction that another element or compound reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of heat and light. It is a reaction that requires oxygen. My objective in doing this experiment is to determine the effect of the height of the candle on the length of its burning time. The existing problem is Suffocation. Research Problem: What is the effect of height of the candle on

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test

WHY DOES THE COLOUR LEAK OUT OF COOKED BEETROOT? PLAN Hypothesis Temperature has an effect on the leaking of the colour from beetroot. This means that as the temperature is altered there will be a change in the rate of colour leakage. Scientific Background Beetroot is a very familiar vegetable and is commonly known as beet. It is famous in most recipe books that advice that its outer skin is not to be removed to avoid getting red dye in the cooking water. If we look at the internal structure

Piezoresistive effect is a change of electrical resistance of a conductor under axial strain. One of the main quantitative variables of piezoresistive effect is strain gauge factor (SGF). SGF is relative change of electrical resistance divided to mechanical strain (relative change of the length of the conductor). Commercial strain gauges

The Domino Effect 9-26-01 Abstract: In this experiment dominos were used to investigate how distance‚ time‚ and average speed is interrelated by maximizing the speed of falling dominoes. This was done by lining up 28 dominos up against a meter stick 0.5 cm‚ 1.0 cm‚ 1.5 cm‚ 2.0 cm‚ and 2.5 cm away from each other. Before the experiment the average width of a domino was taken. At the beginning of each of these 5 trials the dominos were lined up against the meter stick. The lengths of all the dominoes
