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)

H0: If a predator is restricted in forging range and has limited food supply‚ there will be no difference in survivorship as a predator who is not restricted. HA1: If a predator is restricted

Paramecium living in the intestines of termites breaks down the cellulose walls of wood fibers releasing proteins that are absorbed by the termites’ digestive system. Paramecium benefit by having an environment to thrive and they ingest the wood fibers for their own nutrition as well. 2. c. An important ecological effect

Wed/Fri‚ D-Block‚ 12-January-2015 Introduction Transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake of exogenous DNA from its surroundings. By doing this lab‚ we will answer the essential question: What influences transformation efficiency? Although there are many possible influences‚ our hypothesis is that plasmid has a positive influence. To test this hypothesis‚ we will set up an experiment in which we

Emission Spectroscopy Lab Introduction: According to the Bohr atomic model‚ electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths with specific energies. Each path is therefore often referred to as an “energy level”. Electrons possessing the lowest energy are found in the levels closest to the nucleus. Electrons of higher energy are located in progressively more distant energy levels. If an electron absorbs sufficient energy to bridge the “gap” between energy levels‚ the electron may jump to a higher

process of photosynthesis requires sunlight for its nutrients to make their way into the chlorophyll on green plants. This suggests that without direct sunlight‚ photosynthesis will not be completed correctly or the plants functions will not work properly. Majority of plants that undergo photosynthesis have chlorophyll stored within them‚ it is what gives them their green color. However‚ there are few species of plants that don’t acquire chlorophyll‚ but still undergo the process of photosynthesis. Specific
