Sterling Hayden AP Biology Mrs. Proehl 24 November 2014 I. Title Effect of Differing pH‚ Temperature‚ and Enzyme Concentration on Catalase Reaction Rate II. Introduction Enzymes are used to increase the rate of specific reactions in the body. Catalase‚ a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms

Reaction of Enzyme Amylase Research Question: How will changing the percentage of sodium chloride concentration affect the rate of reaction of enzyme amylase‚ measured using the absorbance of starch and iodine with a spectrophotometer. Introduction: Amylase is an enzyme that is involved in the human digestive process. Found in both the human pancreas and the human saliva‚ amylase breaks down starch into sugar so that large molecules can be easily digested1. Like all enzymes‚ amylase must be kept

drawing of one cell was made. Discussion: Starch is a polymer of alpha-glucose. It is formed in plant cells from glucose and is stored in the form of grains. As it has compact and insoluble molecules‚ it is an ideal form in which to store glucose molecules and these can be reformed by hydrolysis later when needed. Starch is a mixture of two types of chain (amylose and amylopectin) formed from alpha-glucose. Amylose is formed when many alpha-glucose molecules condense together forming 1‚ 4 glycosdic bonds

The Relationship between Gene Copy Number‚ Amylase Concentration‚ and Gene Evolution Matthew Fantauzzi 400007178 Shawn Hercules - L15 25 November 2015 Abstract In this lab‚ students were experimenting to determine if a relationship exists between gene copy number‚ amylase concentration‚ and gene evolution. At the same time‚ this lab was designed to introduce university freshman to the etiquette and conventions used in a formal research setting. The methods used ranged from sample production

The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

AP BIOLOGY Lab 5 Cellular Respiration Objective: To calculate the rate of CR from the data. To then relate gas production to respiration rate. Then test the rate of CR in germinating versus non-germinating seeds in a controlled experiment and then test the effect of temperature on the rate of CR in the germinating versus non-germinated seeds in a controlled experiment. Analysis: 1. The CR is higher in the germinating peas in the cold water rather than in the beads or non-germinating peas
