starch. By breaking the alpha‚ 1-4 glycosidic linkages in the carbohydrates‚ amylase hydrolyzes the starch‚ a polysaccharides that is stored in plants and cannot be directly digested by animal cells‚ into maltose‚ a disaccharide that later generate two units of glucose to undergo metabolisms and provides necessary energy (Slaughter et al.‚ 2001). The enzymatic activity of α-amylase is facilitated by calcium and chloride ions during the hydrolysis (Marini‚ 2006 and Siddiqui et al.‚ 2010). The complete digestion

follows; 6H₂O + 6CO₂ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂1 There are four variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis; light intensity‚ temperature‚ CO₂ and water.2 However‚ is it possible to count in the colour of light‚ too‚ which I am going to investigate in this lab. Since the photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts that has chlorophyll‚ the rate of photosynthesis can be affected by different colours of light‚ since the absorption of light changes within different colours. Research Question: What colour of

Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚ pectase and cellulase will

Lab Report: Animal Behavioral Diversity Biology 112 Lucas LLona 5-7-13 1) a. Based on background knowledge regarding beta fish‚ I believe that the male beta fish will be the first out of the two specimens to display any aggressive behavior. b. - Pectorals flap at rapid speeds when the beta fish is uncomfortable and appears agitated. - The gill cover expands in size when the beta fish is uncomfortable. - Caudal fin moves quickly when agitated and also determines how quickly the specimen

Formal lab report: Abstarct: The Purpose of this experiment was to perform Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia by using somatic plant transformation method. The whole process lasted for over a period of 11 weeks and we were successful in getting transformed plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain containing pMP90 (Ti-helper) plasmid and pCAMBIA1391 (T-DNA) plasmid was used for this plant transformation. pCAMBIA1391 plasmid was constructed by cloning Brassica

The Effects of Environmental Stimuli on Animal Behavior AP Biology Emily Olsen April 26‚ 2012 I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to test the effect certain stimuli has on the behavior of a terrestrial isopod. These bugs are more commonly known as pill bugs and potato bugs. The objective of this experiment is to determine which kinds of habitats potato bugs favor. Potato bugs have an innate behavior called taxis which will cause the animal to move away from a stimulus that is unwanted

Part 2: Effects of Environment on Mitosis. Experimental Hypothesis: If we put onion root tips in IAA solution then the rate of Mitosis will increase. Null Hypothesis: There will be no difference Part 1- Post Lab Question If a cell contains a set of duplicated chromosomes‚ does it contain any more genetic information than the cell before the chromosomes were duplicated? No‚ because if it is duplicated‚ it would have the same number of chromosomes unless there was a
