Biology 102 Lab Report: Ventilation and Oxygen Consumption in Fish Methods: The lab consists of two experiments repeated over a period one hour with fifteen minutes interval‚ in order to determine the effect of weight and temperature on ventilation and oxygen consumption of Carassius auratus‚ commonly known as goldfish. Each experiment was carried out by five groups. Measurement of ventilation was determined by recording operculum movement of the fish. Oxygen consumption was measured using oxygen

relate to the hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth?Universal Genetic code would indicate that all organisms descended from a common ancestor‚ seeing how all organsims share a universal genetic code. 3) How are self-replicating molecules‚ such as RNA molecules in the “RNA World” hypothesis‚ essential to the most popular hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth? Becuase‚ RNA is able to store genetic info just like DNA‚ and is also able to catalyze chemical reactions like an enzyme‚ so RNA

Mrs. Feeney Biology 9 October 16‚ 2012 Identifying Organic Compounds Objective: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances. Theory: Major types of organic compounds in some common foods are Lipids‚ Carbohydrates‚ and Proteins. An indicator is a chemical compound that changes color and structure when exposed to certain conditions and is therefore useful for chemical tests. The purpose of using distilled water as one of the substances in the test

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)
