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

Kinesiology 303 Lab Vertical and Horizontal Power Lab Write up Introduction: Running and jumping competitions have taken place for centuries‚ dating as far back as the first Olympian games. These physical competitions measured individual’s prowess‚ but also competing for power to rule or show their masculinity. Today‚ in modern times‚ this is synonymous to individuals who are judged on their highest jump and fastest 40-yard dash time as part of the National Football League draft‚ which combine

environmental conditions affected the rate of transpiration of a plant. The environmental factors we looked at were the affects of various temperatures and different light amounts in the different temperatures. We found that as the temperature warmed up‚ the rate of transpiration was higher. When the temperature was at five degrees Celsius‚ the rate of transpiration was very low. When we took out half of the light source and measured the rate of transpiration in the three temperatures we found the same

STUDY GUIDE INTEGRATED SCIENCE 10 PLANT UNIT DO YOU/CAN YOU…. 1. Understand that both plants and animals (eukaryotes) undergo a similar process for cellular division/reproduction? Both plant and animal cells undergo mitosis and meiosis. In plants‚ there is an alternation of generations; the gametophyte generation‚ where haploid gametes (pollen and ovule; sperm and egg) are produced via mitosis. Then the sporophyte generation combines these two into spores via meiosis‚ resulting in a diploid

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

“too acidic to justify the worth of drinking every morning for the miniscule amounts of vitamin C it contains” (Dr. Kenny and Henderson). It has been found that orange juice‚ while it does contain vitamin C‚ does not contain enough vitamin C to live up to the “super food” standard that was set for it in the past. Instead of assisting one’s immune system‚ it has now been discovered that due to the naturally high acidity of orange juice‚ they actually are detrimental to ones health. Drinking orange

Photosynthesis Lab Kozlowski Kendal Schweiss Hour 6 Introduction: Photosynthesis is carbohydrate production using light and chlorophyll. It is a process when green plants and other organisms turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen‚ using light energy trapped by chlorophyll. The rate of photosynthesis can be measured by either the disappearance of substrate or the accumulation of product. 2H2O + CO2 + light -> carbohydrate (CH2O) + O2 + H2O There is a spongy mesophyll

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
