ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

enzyme. The hypothesis was that alkaline phosphatase activity will be critically affected by pH effects. The hypothesis was valid because the data shows that the pH values for the acidic‚ basic‚ and neutral tubes increased over time‚ absorbing at similar rates. The basic tube had the highest rate of absorbance while the acid tube had the lowest rate of absorbance. In the following experiment‚ the effects of varying enzyme concentrations on the catalytic rate of ALP were tested. The hypothesis was that

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

Human ECG Abstract The purpose of these lab exercises is to understand the function and importance of an electrocardiogram. This lab will demonstrate how stress levels or different elevations can affect human heart rate. Furthermore‚ the equipment used in the experiment will show the functions in the right and left arm; as well as‚ in the right and left ankles. Finally‚ the lab will serve a purpose as a way to know how to read an electrocardiogram and calculate the heart rate. Introduction

Abstract An attitude is a representation of an individual ’s degree of like or dislike for an act‚ object or evaluation. This report aims to conclude whether there is a difference between female and male attitudes towards smoking. It is hypothesised that females will have a more positive attitude towards smoking. Questionnaires using a 5 point likert scale will be utilised to measure each participants’ attitude towards smoking through their responses. Results stated there is no significant difference

Stoichiometry lab 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the limiting reactant‚ also to find the percentage yield and percentage purity of the reaction that happens between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. The other purpose was to know how the reaction can be balanced and created. Hypothesis: In this lab we are going to see a precipitation reaction. This is a reaction where two soluble salts Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride are added together and the result is the precipitation

Determination Lab Report Experiment 4 Introduction In this experiment we measured the relationship between temperature‚ volume‚ and pressure. Objectives: Conduct a set of experiments‚ each of which illustrates a gas law. Gather data to identify the gas law described by each activity. Complete the calculations necessary to evaluate the gas law in each activity. From your results‚ derive a single mathematical relationship that relates pressure‚ volume‚ and temperature. Hypothesis: As the temperature

Purpose Determine the acceleration in a quick sprint. Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration
