I believe that the reason the cell appeared smaller after being exposed to starch solution was because water molecules move out of the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was greater than outside the cell. I believe this for a few different reasons. We were given 3 different explanations to explain why the cells appear smaller after being exposed to sugar water. These include: That the sugar molecules are not able to enter the cell‚ but the sugar molecules push on the cell membrane

We found that‚ in acidic pH environment‚ the reaction rate of starch being broken down by alpha amylase is less than that of the reaction rate at a neutral and slightly basic pH environment. This finding partially supports our hypothesis. The spectrophotometer readings in our experiment measured the absorbance of 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid‚ a colored molecule formed after dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) has reacted with the products of the enzymatic reaction or the simple sugars. Therefore‚ the absorbance

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

Effects of soil ph variation on radish plants growth Background information: the soil ph can have 2 different impacts on the growth of plant roots. First and most important is how it affects the concentration of nutrients present in the soil itself. This variable varies depending on the ph tendency‚ in particular‚ nutrients like phosphorous‚ potassium ‚sulphur‚ calcium and magnesium tend to drastically decrease in more acidic ph conditions (<6.0)‚ on the other hand iron‚ manganese‚ boron

Lab : Iodine-starch Clock Reaction Pre-lab: Before the lab was conducted‚ the concentration of the Iodate ions to be in the mixture made by dissolving specific volumes of solution A with a constant concentration and water was calculated using the dissolution formula: C1V1 = C2V2 Sample Calculation 1: Concentration of the Iodate ions: For mixture 1: C2 = C1V1/ V2 = (0.020mol/L) x (0.003L)/(0.01L) = 0.006mol/L The same calculations were used in the calculating of the

materials. The core problem of these starch based plastics is their hydrophilic character and the fact that they tend to become brittle with ageing. Unmodified starch is too much hydrophilic to be used as food packaging material. Chemical modification must be carried out in order to make them hydrophobic. These modifications are grafting‚ alkylation-especially esterification including acetylation. The purpose of the project is to prepare acetylated starches/starch esters of different Degree of Substitution

Distinction of pH levels of Orange Juice and Milk of Magnesia in comparison to Distilled Water Cooper‚ A.‚ Do‚ J.‚ Francois‚ F.‚ Olaleye‚ O. Lab Section LA: 06/20/2012 Introduction pH is the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a certain solution. Solutions or substances that have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions are considered acidic on the pH scale. Therefore‚ a solution with low concentration of hydrogen ions is basic on the pH scale. The pH scale is a universal means
