------------------------------------------------- Enzyme Pre-Lab Harry Kang 9/26/12 1) The purpose of this lab was to determine the rate of enzyme activity under variety of different conditions‚ such as‚ different amount of drops of enzymes and different temperature of water. The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with‚ 1.5 ml of H2O2‚ 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops‚ to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction

Peter Dang Mrs. Truesdell AP Biology Period 5 2 October 2013 CHAPTER 7 STUDY GUIDE AN OVERVIEW OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS Autotrophs are plants that can feed themselves by making their own food. Photo-autotrophs are organisms that produce organic molecules from inorganic molecules using the energy of light. Producers are when plants make their own organic molecules. A redox reaction is oxidation and reduction. Photosynthesis takes water and carbon dioxide to make glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration

DNA QUESTION 1995: L. PETERSON/AP BIOLOGY The diagram below shows a segment of DNA with a total length of 4‚900 base pairs. The arrows indicate reaction sites for two restriction enzymes (enzyme X and enzyme Y). (A) Explain how the principles of gel electrophoresis allow for the separation of DNA fragments. (B) Describe the results you would expect from electrophoretic separation of fragments from the following treatments of the DNA segment above. Assume that the digestion

Sam Rausser Wednesday‚ August 17‚ 2011 3:38 PM Once glucose is made‚ glucose molecules can be converted (by plants) to… 1) monosaccharides‚ like fructose 2) Disaccharides a. Maltose (glu‐glu) seeds b. Sucrose (glu‐fru) sugar cane‚ sugar beets 3) Polysaccharides a. Starch‚ food storage in roots (chains of glucose) b. Cellulose‚ plant structure (chains of glucose) 4) Amino Acids a. Glucose + N from ground 5) Lipids‚ specifically oils which are energy source in seeds & phospholipids found in membranes

Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Catalysis Lab Report by Kunal Bhattacharjee 1 Kunal Bhattacharjee Period 8 AP Bio Enzyme Lab Report INTRO: Enzymes are a type of proteins that are formed by Amino acids and help speed up metabolic reactions. They are able to do this by interacting with the substrate . The substrate is what is being breaking down in the reaction. The substrate comes in to contact with the enzyme by binding to the enzyme’s unique active site

Hypothesis 1: It was hypothesized that the growth and seed pod production in the standard plants would increase when less competitors were present and that growth would be more affected by competition than seed pod production would be. The data in Figure 1 and Figure 2 support this hypothesis; the standard plant grew the most when it was in a container alone and‚ on average‚ produced more seeds when no competitors were present (Figure 1). Though growth and seed pod production had similar trends

Condensation synthesis- process by which links monomers into polymers 1. 1 water molecule is removed for each monomer added (one monomer loses a hydroxyl group and the other loses a hydrogen so that they are then able to bond covalently to each other) 2. Enzymes are needed 3. Energy is expended by both monomers 4. Anabolic – building blocks 5. Also known as a dehydration reaction b. Hydrolysis – process which separates polymers into monomers 1. 1 water molecule is added (hydrogen attaches to one monomer

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

photosynthesize‚ and are thus heterotrophic. But fungi obviously aren’t like animals‚ and don’t have a stomach to digest their food in. There are various ways that fungi can receive their nourishment instead. The first thing they are able to do is secrete enzymes‚ called exoenzymes‚ to break down the complex molecules in their food into smaller organic compounds that they can easily absorb. Fungi that use this absorption method on nonliving organic material are called saprobes. If a fungi isn’t saprobic‚ it

Observing Ecosystems Ecosystems-The sums of all the organisms living within its boundaries and all the abiotic factors with which they interact. Chemical Elements such as carbon and Nitrogen are cycled among abiotic and biotic components of the ecosystem. Photosynthetic organisms assimilate these elements in inorganic form from the air‚ soil‚ and water and incorporate them into their biomass‚ some of which is consumed by animals. Both energy and matter are transformed in ecosystems throught
