Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants that consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia

sale which we are expecting to sell all of them in the school farmer market. Conclusion: The cookies that we made during each lab showed most of the benefits and disadvantages of making our own cookies compare buying commercial cookies (saving money‚ healthier version‚ taste‚ and texture). I believe‚ I can use all these experiences that I gained during each cookies labs at home too. Also‚ it will be helpful and useful in food service. For instance‚ as a register dietitian‚ I can approach any desserts

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures

The objective of the deicer lab was to successfully conduct experiments to determine the usefulness of magnesium chloride as a deicer. To find how successful magnesium chloride is as a deicer‚ experiments were conducted to determine the freezing point depression‚ enthalpy of dissolution‚ the impact on the surrounding environment‚ and also the expenses of using magnesium chloride as a deicer. For magnesium chloride to be determined as a good deicer‚ the reaction with water needs to be exothermic so

if antimicrobial concentration increases‚ then the zone of inhibition will increase because the higher the concentration‚ the more the antimicrobial will disinfect the area of bacteria and thus the zone of inhibition will increase.The results of the lab do support my hypothesis. Paragraph 2: My antimicrobial was bleach. Bleach contains hypochlorous acid which “causes bacterial proteins to unfold and stick to one another‚ making them nonfunctional and leading to cell death”(publications.nigms.nih.gov)

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

In conclusion‚ even though the lab procedure is not about moles‚ most of the calculations are and this is one lab where the concept of

potential to damage crops extensively‚ and thus‚ damage society as well through shortage of food or even famine. In addition‚ in countries that depend on the production of agricultural goods like Canada‚ the effects of acid rain can be tremendous. In this lab‚ we have chosen to examine the effects of acidic and basic environments on radish plants (Raphanus sativus)‚ by implementing varying pH levels of buffer solution into the soil. We have allotted a total of four days (Tuesday‚ April 10‚ 2012- Friday April

Kathleen Kramas Cells and Heredity Lab Tuesday 2:00-4:50 22 OCTOBER 2012 Membrane Permeability Decreases as Molecular Size Increases Introduction: Red blood cells are vital to organisms functioning properly. They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a
