substrate fits the shape of the active site‚ the enzyme will alters its shape so the active site embraces the substrate and maintains a firm grip‚ known as induced fit. This allows for great variations of enzymes. Abstract In this experiment‚ my lab partners and I tested how time effects a catalase reaction. The amount of hydrogen peroxide was recorded after the reaction for the certain time given has taken place. We used sulfuric acid to stop the reaction with the catalase from occurring. This

LAB 1 1. Describe the function of the following pieces of safety equipment and how each might be used: (10 points) a. Eye Wash (2 points) The eyewash fountain is used to rinse chemical splashes off the eyes. They are used by rinsing the eyes 15 to 30 minutes with water. b. Fire Blanket (2 points) Fire blankets are used to extinguish small fires. They are used by covering the small fires with the blankets until it extinguishes. c. Shower (2 points) Safety showers were made to eliminate any

Aim: 1) To determine the effects of different salt concentration on the percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) To determine the isotonic solution concentration for the potato Hypothesis: 1) If the concentration of the salt solution is higher than the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through

Evolution Lab “Evolution by Natural Selection” The object of this experiment is to determine how changing the size of the beak of a finch will affect the population as well as the growth rate of the finch’s beak. The reason for the experiment is to evaluate evolution and how it affects the finch’s population‚ and how natural selection is always present in life. In this experiment I will show that the finch will continue to evolve until its beak has reached the optimal size for sustaining

Part I: Pre-Lab Diffusion/Osmosis Pre-Lab Introduction: Dialysis tubing allows molecules to diffuse through microscopic pores in the tubing. Molecules that are smaller than the pores can diffuse through the dialysis membrane along the concentration gradients. Molecules that are larger than the pore size are prevented from crossing the dialysis membrane. Answer questions in complete sentences. For problems‚ show equations and work with units and appropriate significant figures. Part IA: In the following

that live in the water‚ their oxygen has to be obtained from the water. The amount of oxygen that these organisms can take from the water is hugely dependent on the dissolved oxygen content in the water. The purpose of the two experiments done in this lab was to see the ideal condition to produce the most dissolved oxygen concentration. We approached the challenge of finding the ideal condition by testing two different variables in two different experiments. In the first experiment‚ we tested the different

The hypothesis for this lab was that Core B will be the least flexible due to a loss in water. Unfortunately‚ my results led my hypothesis to be incorrect. The results that were received was that Core C was the most flexible‚ Core B was somewhat flexible‚ and Core A was not flexible and stiff. Core A was the most non-adjustable due to it being hypertonic which means that the total concentration of all the dissolved solute particles is greater than the other solution. Core B was isotonic meaning

balloon Bar Graph: Discussion Questions: 9) My prediction had been that the test tube with 10% of sucrose inside of it would make the most amount of carbon dioxide. My hypothesis was correct‚ and the size was gradually increasing throughout the lab. At the end it was the biggest‚ so after 1440 minutes‚ the 10% test tube was the only solution that had visible bubbles of carbon dioxide. After 1440 minutes there were no carbon
