concentration on the reaction between Catalase and hydrogen peroxide. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts (a substance that increases or decreases the rate of a reaction) 2. Enzymes bind to a molecule called a substrate‚ converting it into a product. Nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in a biological cell need enzymes to make them occur. Enzymes like all catalysts lower the activation energy needed for a reaction to take place3. They dramatically speed up the rate at which

The purpose of this lab was to determine how different conditions could affect one’s heart rate. In the life of a human‚ the heart beats approximately forty-five million times per year varying based off of factors like age‚ gender‚ physical activity level (1). Furthermore‚ throughout the course of a day‚ the heart can vary in its heart rate from a number of different environmental changes such as prolonged standing‚ altered breathing (inhale vs. exhale)‚ and jolts of excitement such as being startled

Abraham Lincoln High School Period 5 1/12/15 1/20/15 Partners: Nasya Aguilar LAB 1: Kinematic Equations and Reaction Time PURPOSE/QUESTION Apply kinematics equations for constant acceleration to find your reaction time. How much is it? How does reaction time change with practice? THEORETICAL The reaction time is the amount of time required to sense astimulus‚ analyze its meaning‚ and respond. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is speed with direction. Displacement is

Chemical reactions proceeding until all the reactants are used is a common misconception. Chemical reactions actually behave differently. The general reaction equation is a A + b B → c C +d D in this equation A and B are the reactants forming the products C and D. However‚ unlike the common thought that the reaction ends when it runs out of A and B it actually does not. In most reactions C and D start to react to form A and B at a certain point as you can see in the equation c C + d D → a A + b

investigating how the rate of reaction differs when we change the concentration of Hydrochloric Acid whilst reacting with Magnesium. The rate of reaction is explained by the Collision Theory. This theory explains how various factors affect the reaction rates and how chemical reactions occur. The 4 factors of the Collision Theory are: • Temperature • Concentration • Surface area • Catalyst I am investigating how different concentrations of acids affect the rate of reaction. However I must control

metabolic rate are investigated. Hypothesis: With the information given‚ we tested the effects of given hormones on the body by using virtual rats. We expect to see a greater metabolic rate for the normal rat as opposed to the thyroidectomized rat. The hypox rat is expected to have the lowest metabolic rate. Metabolic rate will increase once thyroxine is injected. TSH will increase the metabolic rate of all the rats with

Chemical Reactions Lab Report Introduction: Chemical reactions is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance. There are different types of reaction such synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single replacement‚ double replacement‚ and combustion. Synthesis is where two or more reactants combine to create a product. For Decomposition‚ it is the opposite where a product breaks down into reactants. In Single Replacement‚ reactants switches an element with another element

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the
