AS Applied Science Luke O’Reilly Aim/background- Test soil from an area that previously had heavy industry on it to check for contaminants. Procedure- I will first visit a site that has previously has heavy industry located on it. Using protective clothing‚ goggles and gloves I will extract several samples of the soil from the site and then take several other samples from different points on the site. This ensures variety of soil to ensure that all the site is safe‚ not just a small area where you

Data Collection: The aim of this experiment was to test the weight of six potatoes before and after being put into different sucrose solutions. The following data was observed and collected throughout the experiment. Observations: -Qualitative: The potatoes were: Tubed shaped Yellow in color Initially hard in texture -Quantitative: Table 1: Weight of the potato in grams before and after placed in a different concentrations of sucrose solutions. Sucrose solution (M) Weight Before (g) ±

The lesson is divided into 3 labs that can be completed in any order. After labs have been completed‚ facilitate a class discussion where students summarize and compare findings and relate how their findings support (or refute) Newton’s Laws of Motion LAB 1: How fast can it go? Put one car at the top of the ramp and let it roll down. Use a stopwatch to record the time the car rolled. Use this information to calculate the acceleration of the car. Measure the distance the car rolled using the

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

The Catalase Lab Stephen Human Anatomy & Physiology 9/30/12 Problem- How do different environments affect the reactivity of catalase? Hypothesis- If more catalase is added then more oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a faster rate because there is more catalase to react upon. If less catalase is added then less oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a slower rate because there is less catalase to react upon. Variable- Independent- Amount of Catalase (Filter Paper) Dependent- Amount of

5%‚ 27%‚ and 30%. The Vmax of the inhibited reactions was 1.208 mL/s and the Km was 7.033M (figures 3.3 and 3.4). Generally‚ reaction rate increased with substrate concentration. A paired t-test was performed comparing the velocities for the inhibited (exp. V) and uninhibited (exp. IV) reactions. This t-test presented a p-value of

Constant Determining the effect mass has on acceleration Block 5 11/25/12 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of additional mass added to a cart’s existing mass‚ without changing the applied force‚ on the acceleration of the cart. We will test this effect by hanging a constant mass to a cart and use a computer program‚ LoggerPro‚ to calculate the acceleration which is expressed through the slope of the graph

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

The mean hemolysis times of sheep erythrocytes in 0.3 M urea‚ thiourea‚ methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol‚ ethylene glycol‚ diethylene glycol‚ and triethylene glycol were calculated‚ and paired‚ two-tailed t-tests were conducted to determine statistical significance. It was found that the difference in hemolysis time between methanol and ethanol was not statistically significant (P = 0.0666‚ t = 2.0577‚ df = 10); the same result was found between the results
