Objective: To investigates the enzymatic effect of various materials in the hydrogen peroxide solution. Apparatus & Equipment: Beaker Test tubes Either: water bath (95oC) or Bunsen burner Materials: Fresh Liver Potato cubes Manganese dioxide Hydrogen peroxide** Wood splints **Caution: Hydrogen peroxide is formed continuously as a by-product of chemical reactions in living cells; it is a very toxic (poisonous) substance. [Note: using boiling tubes may provide

1. Temperature: Put some hot water‚ warm water‚ and cold water in three bowls. Just use water from your faucet‚ and please be sure that the hot water is not too hot to touch! Place a finger in the hot water and a finger of the other hand in the cold water. After a few seconds‚ place them both in the warm water. Describe the sensations. Can you trust your senses for measuring temperature? Explain your answer. Placing finger A(pointing finger on left hand) in the “hot” water‚ my finger felt a hot

GROUP 6 ANIMAL CELL and It’s Functions ANIMAL CELL: About animal cell usually have an irregular shape. are eukaryote cells‚ or cells with a membrane bound nucleus. DNA is housed within the nucleus. Also contain other membrane bound organelles‚ or tiny cellular structures that carry out specific functions necessary for normal cellular operation. smaller than plant cells. Cell Membrane is the outermost component of a cell. it is composed of 55% proteins‚ 25% phospholipids

roles of mitotic cell division‚ meiosis‚ and fertilization in the human life cycle. Mitosis allows for growth and repair from the fertilized egg to the adult. In reproductively mature individuals‚ meiosis creates gametes with half the genetic material. The male gamete then fertilizes the female gamete during sexual reproduction‚ forming a zygote with a full set of genetic material. 2. Why are both cell division and apoptosis necessary for the development of an organism? Cell division is needed

the rest and that is the cell phone. This one device has improved our lives in so many ways like being able to communicate with people at anytime‚ checking e-mails‚ and texting. It has also negatively impacted our lives in that it has been proven to increase the chances of getting cancer‚ some people feel lost without their cell phones and can not pay attention when using them which could and has ultimately caused death. Everywhere you go‚ you can see people on their cell phones. It has become a

Biology 123 Professor K Title: Scientific Investigation of the Peroxidase Enzyme & Temperature Abstract: In this lab we tested the effect temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the different absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for two minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we

10-8-09 Biology Essay: Parts of a Cell Describe the fluid-mosaic model of a plasma membrane. Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell more easily than others. The

2. How is the colour related to surface temperature of the star? The correlation between the surface temperature of a star and its colour is due to the phenomena known as black body radiation .A star is a black body‚where it aborbs all the radiation falling upon it.AS its temperatures gets hotter thanits surrounding‚the star radiates its on electromagnetic radiation‚known as black body radiation. This radiation is distributed unevenly but contionously through multiple wavelengths of the electromagnetic

Site Plan | I. Neurons/nerve cells A neuron is a cell specialized to conduct electrochemical impulses called nerve impulses or action potentials. Neuron is the main cellular component of the nervous system‚ a specialized type of cell that integrates electrochemical activity of the other neurons that are connected to it and that propagates that integrated activity to other neurons. They are the basic information processing structures in the CNS.

Part One I have chosen to investigate Autistic Spectrum Disorder and how it can affect a child’s behaviour. Autistic Spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that is characterised by lack of social skills‚ aggressive behaviour‚ lack of imagination‚ difficulties communicating and repetitive behaviour. (Anderson et al‚ 2008) Children that have ASD can find it very difficult when dealing with social situations. This is because they lack the ability to read other people’s faces and emotions
