Introduction: All organisms need to breath. They have pathways that are organic molecules and capture in their ATP. Some of these organisms need oxygen to do this but not all of them require it. Organic carbon molecules are the energy source‚ and for waste is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). CO2 can combine with water to form carbonic acid during cellular respiration. Phenolphthalein can be used to help detect any changes in pH because of production of CO2 during cellular respiration. Phenolphthalein

A P T E R 5 Basic Concepts from Organic Chemistry 5.1 | INTRODUCTION The fundamental information that environmental engineers and scientists need concerning organic chemistry differs considerably from that which the organic chemist requires. This difference is due to the fact that chemists are concerned principally with the synthesis of compounds‚ whereas environmental engineers and scientists are concerned‚ in the main‚ with how the organic compounds in liquid‚ solid‚ and gaseous wastes can

Effects of pH on the Function of Enzymes Rena Mototani Glen Rock High School Advanced Biology 2014-2015 Effects of pH on the Function of Catalase Rena Mototani Problem: How does the pH of a cell affect the function of the enzyme catalase? Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The

Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build

Wanni Lin Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are

INTRODUCTION: Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in
