ADI Lab Report Every living thing is made up of cells. All cells have some part in common. Some multicellular cells are highly specialized and carry out some very important functions. One of the special cells are red blood cells‚ their functions‚ transporting oxygen from the lungs to the cells in the body. Red blood cells look like little discs. Red blood cells can change their shape‚ this ability allowing them to squeeze through capillaries without breaking. Our task is to Design and carry out an

This conversion into chemical energy is associated with the action of the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll molecules located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts are arranged into complexes known as photosystems. Each photosystem contains the reaction center complex and is surrounded by light harvesting complexes. The light harvesting complexes are composed of pigment molecules such as chlorophyll a‚ b and accessory pigments that broaden the spectrum of light absorbed for photosynthesis

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

The Effect of Substrate Concentration on Initial Reaction Rate The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate

The light reactions occur on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast; here photons from the sun strike molecules of chlorophyll a‚ exciting the electrons into a higher energy state. In a series of reactions the energy is converted into ATP and NADPH. During this process water is split and oxygen is released as a byproduct. ATP and NADPH are then used in the

In this experiment we are trying to determine the effect temperature has on catalase activity. We started out with five test tubes and then labeled them as we went about‚ after we added a catalase extract to each tube. Once added to each test tube they all sat in their respected temperature for ten minutes‚ so they could have a full effect. Once the time was up each was then collected and then we began to shake them from side to side for the foaming to start. When the foam settled‚ we discovered

Receptors and Ligands: Examining the effects of pharmaceutical compounds on Daphnia magna physiology Abstract The following study was conducted in order to determine the effects of four different pharmaceutical compounds on the heart rate of Daphnia specimens. After basal heart rate was observed and computed‚ four different solutions each containing either an adrenergic‚ muscarinic‚ or nicotinic agonist or antagonist was tested against individual Daphnia. Observations were made through a compound

protein‚ that lowers the activation energy of a reaction without being changed by the reaction‚ and this causes the reaction to occur much faster than usual (Campbell et al.‚ 2014). The act of speeding of a chemical reaction is called catalysis‚ and molecules that perform this are called catalyst. Enzymes act as catalysts‚ and there a many types of enzymes that perform many different functions. Enzymes act by allowing
