Biology has been the most interesting and appealing subject I have taken. Taking the course as a freshman‚ and the AP course as a junior‚ has really influenced my choice of a potential major. The course taught me how to be more studious and efficient with the information I retain. It is a puzzle‚ in which you piece together process by process‚ step by step. AP Biology also enhanced my collaboration skills. The course is very rigorous and challenging‚ and I struggled often trying to do it all by myself

Lab: Inhibiting the Action of Catechol Oxidase By: Kimberly G. Introduction: In this lab‚ Mr. Greene ’s sixth period AP Biology class split into groups "to investigate inhibition of enzyme activity by specific chemicals called inhibitors" (1). Group three pondered this lab ’s inhibitor‚ phenylthiourea (PTU). Is it a competitive inhibitor? That is an inhibitor that literally "competes" with the substrate by mimicking it‚ and thus "wins" the position at the active site of the enzyme. The blocked

Sang Kim Enzyme Catalyst Purpose/Problem: There are four parts to the Enzyme Catalyst lab - Activity A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. In activity A‚ the characteristics of enzyme actions will be observed. The main purposes are to determine the rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ to study the characteristics of an enzyme mediated reaction‚ and to observe the effect of heat on enzyme activity. The purpose of activity B is to use the Titration Protocol to determine the initial amount of H 2O2 present

IB SL Biology Lab Molecular Biology: Transformation and Electrophoresis Christina Qi 2/16/07 Aim: How can a plasmid be engineered to include a foreign piece of DNA and how does gel electrophoresis separate DNA molecules present in a mixture? Hypothesis: If the pGLO plasmid is inserted into competent Escherichia coli cells‚ then the transformed bacteria will be resistant to ampicillin and will glow green under UV light. If samples of DNA are cut using certain restriction

AP biology FRQ Courtney DeMane 1.22.13 block 7 A). The chemical composition and structure of proteins seems quite confusing at first but one it is broken down into levels it is much more understandable. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and they contain amino‚ carboxyl and R groups. These R groups that are in the amino acids are what determine the properties of the specific amino acids. For structure‚ there are 4 levels. The first one being the primary level. These are made
