Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh‚ 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al.‚ 2010). Because of this‚ these chemical

7/30/2015 Assignment [ print page ] Assignment Background Information: Scientists have found that almost all living organisms have a gene that codes for a protein called Cytochrome C. This protein is important in releasing energy from food. Scientists study similarities such as the gene that codes for Cytochrome C in hopes to learn more about the universal genetic code and the relationship between living organisms on Earth. Procedure: The charts below lists a portion of the amino acids found in

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

Variables: Variable How can it be controlled? (IV) - Light intensity - The light intensity will be controlled by the knob on the lamp throughout the experiment. In addition‚ the light intensity will be controlled by closing the windows and doors in the classroom as well as turning

1. By exhaling out carbon dioxide into the straw on top of the bromothymol blue indicator‚ the solution will turn the color blue into a yellowish-green color. When there is a presence of something that is acidic the BTB indicator changes its color into yellow/green. So in this case‚ the water with BTB and carbon dioxide exhaled into the flask creates a carbonic acid. As an aerobic activity increase than the carbon dioxide rate increases as well. 2. By exercising more‚ one’s body requires more

Introduction: Living‚ microscopic‚ unicellular organisms can be identified as microorganisms. Fungi‚ Protista‚ Bacteria‚ and Archaeans are four kingdoms in the phylogenetic tree of life that consist of microorganisms. Amongst these microorganisms the prokaryotes were the first ones to arrive through evolution. The rest of the life forms as we see them evolved from these simple creatures‚ prokaryotes. The smaller prokaryotes were swallowed by bigger prokaryotes setting the stage for the origin of
