Part 2: Effects of Environment on Mitosis. Experimental Hypothesis: If we put onion root tips in IAA solution then the rate of Mitosis will increase. Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference Part 1- Post Lab Question If a cell contains a set of duplicated chromosomes‚ does it contain any more genetic information than the cell before the chromosomes were duplicated? No‚ because if it is duplicated‚ it would have the same number of chromosomes unless there was a

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

synthesized from different replication forks. Because DNA can only synthesize from 5’->3’‚ there is a leading strand and lagging strand which creates Okazaki fragments that are later joined together by DNA Ligase. After DNA is replicated proofreading enzymes will check and repair any mistakes that occurred during replication. After S phase is the G2 phase where the cell grows even larger. G2 is followed by mitosis‚ which is subdivided into 5 parts: prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase‚ telophase‚ and cytokinesis

Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a freshwater habitat. Each organism differs in taxonomic levels from Genus to Species. We knew that the Hydra reproduces with one of two methods: 1) by “budding” which is an asexual method of reproduction

Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)
