The enzyme tyrosinase was successively extracted by combining a homogenate of a potato and sodium sulfate with ammonium sulfate. Tyrosinase was successfully extracted by taking advantage of solubility properties of certain proteins. A standard curve was generated indicating dopachrome absorbance values through the use of a spectrophotometer and a computer graphing program. A spectrophotometer was used to measure either the amount of light that passed through a solution (transmittance) of the amount

Evolution Lab BIO/101 Pooja Thakur 7-23-12 Evolution Resulting From Natural Selection INTRODUCTION The Evolution Lab simulates environmental situations to determine effects on evolution over periods of time. This lab experiments with the evolution of finches on two different islands over 100‚ 200‚ and 300 years. By manipulating parameters that influence natural selection‚ the effects that natural selection have on the evolution process can be studied. HYPOTHESES • The size

Principles of Biology Lab Exercise Enzymes: Catalysts of Life Instructor: Professor Alcendor By Shahid Rana Date: March 7th‚ 2013 Abstract: In this experiment we have demonstrated the function of enzymes. The whole experiment was devoted to understand how enzymes work as a catalysts and increase the chemical reaction without being used themselves. In general‚ enzymes are proteins that function as biological catalysts. These enzymes adhere to lower to amount of energy required for

Enzymes Abstract: The following 2 labs experimented the more enzymes and substrates added to the concentration will effect the reaction rate. Our second lab‚ we tested enzyme and substrate concentrations to determine the increase of temperature and inhibitor. The enzyme source used in both labs was peroxide‚ guaiacol is used as a substrate for peroxide. We used Guaiacol‚ turnip extract‚ peroxide and distilled water for enzyme and substrate concentration. In the second lab we used the same substances

\ Chapter 23 Reading guide 1. what is the smallest unit of evolution and why is this important to understand? The population is the smallest unit of evolution . This is important to understand because it keeps clear what is evolving. 2. Define the following terms: a. Microevolution: evolutionary change below the species level; change in the genetic makeup of a population from generation to generation. It is evolutionary change on its smallest scale b. Population: a localized group

Ben Milam January 29‚ 2013 A.P. Biology Chapter 29 “Do You Understand” Questions Chapter 29.1: 1) The roles of the blood plasma and the interstitial fluid in serving the needs of the body are to exchange materials and nutrients with the cells it surrounds. These two extracellular fluids interrelate because the plasma is 20% of all extracellular fluid and the interstitial fluid is the remaining 80%. 2) A) Epithelial tissues are sheets of densely packed‚ interconnected epithelial cells
