Project Enzymes are organic catalysts produced by living organisms which aid in the progression of specific biochemical reactions without undergoing any permanent chemical changes themselves. They are complex‚ conjugated proteins necessary and required to sustain life. Today‚ enzymes are also used world-wide in a variety of different industrial applications such as the production of paper‚ wine fermentation‚ and bio-remediation. One of the most important industrial applications enzymes are used

Enzyme Catalysis Abstract: Catalysis is an enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. In this lab we will conduct a series of experiments to determine the affects of; pH‚ temperature‚ and concentration change on such catalysis. After completing the experiments we determined that catalase works most efficiently when in a 27°c‚ 50% (5 ml of catalase – 5ml of water)‚ and a normal body pH of 7°.

Section 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to separate plant pigments using chromatography‚ calculate Rf values using the collected data‚ and study photosynthesis with isolated chloroplasts. Light energy Light energy Background Information (Activity A): In photosynthesis‚ plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in sugars and other organic compounds. It is an endergonic and anaerobic reaction. Critical to the process is chlorophyll‚ the primary photosynthetic pigment

unimolecular dissociation step‚ a proton from one of the adjacent carbons is captured to reform the acid catalyst‚ and the elimination reaction is complete with the formation of the double bond. Water is distilled out of the reaction to promote a high yield of 4-methylcylohexene. By removing water‚ the reaction is forced in the forward direction due to Le Châtelier’s Principle. In order to determine

4-nitroaniline had a percent recovery of 18.67% and naphthalene had a percent recovery of 80%. Naphthalene had a relatively high percent recovery‚ and the loss of product can be explained by error inherent. The low percent recovery of 4-nitroaniline is mainly due to the fact that anhydrous sodium sulfate was accidently added to the flask. Therefore‚ some product was lost as the aqueous solution with the protonated 4-nitroaniline reacted with the drying agent. However‚ more errors to explain the results

Lab Questions Unit 4 1. Who were the Poor Clares? Why is it somewhat surprising that they were accomplished musicians? Poor Clares were nuns from a catholic church. It is surprising that they were skillful musicians because they secluded themselves in the church. So people didn’t know what they were doing. When they did come out it shocked everyone. 2. What is a chanson? A chanson is a French song. 3. What is the song "Five Knacks for Ladies" about? What type of song is it? The song is saying that

Standards are put in place to make everything work together error free. Because Stability‚ Consistency‚ Minimization of packet errors. 4.1.2 The voltage for registering a bit of 1 on Ethernet can be as low as 2.5 volts or even 1 volt. Why is this so low when the capacity for transmitting electricity on the copper wire is so high? Use your

In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein

1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer
