The Effects of pH on Slime Mold Dg Nicole Harris BIOL181 – 059 1 December 2011 The theory that slime mold is attracted to acidic solutions was examined by the slime mold‚ Dg. Dg’s preference of pH was examined by using a variety of pH solutions in a petri dish. The data suggests that the growth of fruiting bodies observed in pH 9 was comparable to that of pH 4.

This experiment shows the effects of changing the pH level has on Catalase. As predicted‚ the farther away the pH levels got from the optimum pH (7.2)‚ the lower the reaction rate. At a pH of 7.2‚ the foam of the reaction measures 6cm. At a ph of 3 it measures 2.5 cm‚ at a pH of 5 it measures 2.75 cm‚ at ph 9 it measures 2.3 and at 11cm it measures 2cm. pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration of a substrate. By changing the pH of the catalase‚ the enzyme was denatured. Denaturing is the result

result of respiration changes the pH of the tissue fluid‚ and therefore inhibits enzyme activity. Multicellular organisms need to coordinate different organs‚ so this requires a good communication system which will: • Cover the whole body • Enable cells to communicate with each other • Enable specific communication • Enable rapid communication • Enable both short and long-term responses. State that cells need to communicate with each other by a process called cell signalling. State that neuronal

Media Bias in Political News The Political headline news story that I read was accurate and the story did give enough depth for you understand what was going on. The facts were all stated in this article. The story was about Romney losing to a state he had thought he had won over and how the election was going to be a close call. The article never had any bias on who they thought was going to win the election‚ which was a good thing. They stated Romney progress and had also stated Obama’s
