The topics that will be discussed in this paper will be the ethical decisions that have to be made by Dr. F and the RN in regards to disclosing information to Dr. J. Also‚ according to the NANDA nursing diagnosis for ethical consideration‚ Dr. F and the RN also have to consider if Mrs. Z has some knowledge deficits in regards to her prognosis and if due to her culture‚ she feels powerlessness towards her diagnosis. Ethical theories are important to justifying and relating situations in nursing

Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Abstract: In the following lab factors affecting enzyme activity‚ temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration and surface area will be tested on a beef liver enzyme to see if there will be any effect of performance. By doing 2 or more trials the results will show whether there is an effect to the enzyme from the following factors or not. Some of the factors may denature the enzyme and some will do nothing. Using a table qualitative and the

Enzymes are a major role in the process of accelerating chemical reactions. Environmental factors affect the enzymes‚ These environmental factors include ph levels and body temperature. While both of these environmental factors affect the enzyme‚ body temperature affects the enzymes the most and can result in death. Enzymes are affected by high body temperature. Enzymes are highly specific and they work at certain temperature levels depending if it’s hot or cold. However‚ when the

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to measure the extent of enzyme reaction on given substrates by means of color change. The reaction followed is given below: Tyrosinase³ Enzyme Pyrocatechol Hydroxyquinone Oxidation/Reduction Pink ³ Brown E+S + [ES] = E+P Enzyme Reaction Hypothesis: If there is an increase in enzyme concentration‚ an increase in reaction temperature‚ or an increase in buffer pH‚ then greater

Abstract: Enzymes‚ molecules that speed up chemical reactions‚ are specific to one substrate. In this experiment the substrate hydrogen peroxide and the enzyme catalase will be used. The higher the concentration of potato extract‚ or catalase‚ the faster the reaction and the more substrate present will result in a decrease in the time of the reaction. The amount of concentrations of enzymes and substrates are changed to determine if the reaction is further catalyzed by a greater concentration of

Lab Ex#8: "Enzymes: Catalysts of Life" INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein organelles where chemical reactions take place to generate energy within our cells. Without the energy produced from the cell enzyme activity‚ we would not possess the catalyst activity necessary for energy to produce movement. Each enzyme performs a specific function within our bodies. Those functions performed can be significantly altered with the introduction of variables outside their environment. Variables‚ such as temperature

the outcome of enzyme activity Introduction In this project I will monitor the rate of activity of Catalase. Catalase is an Enzyme which in the right conditions catalyses the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen; 2H2O2 + Catalase >>> 2H2O + O2 Catalase is found in all cells and protects them from Hydrogen Peroxide which is a dangerous waste product that needs to be eliminated. Without Catalase living things could not survive. What are Enzymes? Enzymes are found in the

Stallings Period 2 January 26‚ 2013 Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report Background: Enzymes are catalyst‚ which affect the rate of a chemical reaction. One consequence includes the cell to carry out complex chemical activities at relatively low temperatures. In these reactions the substrate binds reversibly to the active site. The cause of this is a decrease in the energy needed to activate the reaction of the substrate molecule to from products. Every enzyme is particular for a reaction for the reason

Catalase Lab Introduction: Catalase is an enzyme normally found in many plant and animal tissues. Its purpose is to destroy toxic substances which may be introduced into cells. Also‚ some cells use catalase to destroy cellular debris or worn out organelles. In this lab‚ we will use a catalase solution from potatoes and determine the effect of temperature and pH on the action of this enzyme. The substrate of the enzyme will be 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Catalase works by the following mechanism:
