Introduction Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up metabolic reactions by lowering the free energy of activation or activation energy. Activation energy is known as the amount of energy needed to push the reactants over an energy barrier‚ so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin (Campbell 151). In an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ the enzyme binds to its substrate‚ which is the reactant an enzyme acts on. In the reactions‚ the enzymes are very specific

Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Problem: We are going to separate and identify pigments and other molecules from cell extracts through a process called chromatography. We will also test the theory that light and chloroplasts are required for light reactions to occur. Background: Pigments are chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light. This is what makes them seem colorful. Many things contain pigments including flowers‚ corals‚ and even skin. More important than

on the look of my graph‚ my hypothesis was incorrect because Cuvette 3 and 4 (unboiled/light and boiled/light) do not both have a higher percent transmittance. Cuvette 3 does have a higher transmittance‚ however Cuvette 4 stays for the most part‚ the same and does not have an increase in percent transmittance. For Cuvette 2 (unboiled/dark)‚ from 0 to 5 minutes‚ it increased fast but then leveled off from 5 to 15 minutes. Cuvette 3 (unboiled/light)‚ it had a steady but fast increase for the entire

BIOLOGY 181 Lab # 4 Microscopy and Cells Lab A microscope is a tool that enables us to see objects and organisms that are invisible to the naked eye. Microscopes use a series of two or more lenses to magnify an illuminated image. Magnification is a measure of how big an object looks to your eye compared to “life size.” Microscopes also enhance the resolution of an image. Resolution is the ability to distinguish between two objects that are close together. Resolution can be increased using immersion

Courtney Cubine 6/19/13 June 20‚ 2013 Separation of a Mixture of Solids Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to help the student learn how to separate a mixture of multiple different solids and determine the percentage of each component of the mixture. Procedure: I started off by removing the iron using the magnet‚ and then I weighed all of the iron I obtained from the mixture in a container I already knew the weight of and calculated the net weight of the iron.
