THE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN pH ON THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYMES Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that speed up‚ and control chemical reactions within a cell and break down complex molecules into smaller ones. Some of the chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim:

CHM 3411 – Problem Set 6 Due date: Wednesday‚ March 23rd. Do all of the following problems. Show your work. 1) Consider the cyclic molecule C8H8‚ the eight carbon analogue to benzene. a) Write the secular detrerminant corresponding to the pi-bonding in C8H8. b) Using the secular determinant‚ the following energies are found for the pi-bonding molecular orbitals: 1 = + 2 2 = + 1.41 (two states) 3 = (two states) 4 = - 1.41 (two states) 5 = - 2 Give the electron

Kiley O’Toole Lab Report 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to uncover the number of layers of zinc atoms around a piece of galvanized iron. This was done by pouring the hydrochloric acid onto the galvanized iron‚ thus removing the zinc from the piece of metal. Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the

28/09/12 Grace Masters Woodlice Behavior Experiment Aim: To investigate the effect of light intensity on the behavior of woodlice (Porcellio scaber) in regards to their change in speed. Variables: Variable How can it be controlled? (IV) - Light intensity - The light intensity will be controlled by the knob on the lamp throughout the experiment. In addition‚ the light intensity will be controlled by closing the windows and doors in the classroom as well as turning

1. By exhaling out carbon dioxide into the straw on top of the bromothymol blue indicator‚ the solution will turn the color blue into a yellowish-green color. When there is a presence of something that is acidic the BTB indicator changes its color into yellow/green. So in this case‚ the water with BTB and carbon dioxide exhaled into the flask creates a carbonic acid. As an aerobic activity increase than the carbon dioxide rate increases as well. 2. By exercising more‚ one’s body requires more

Introduction: Living‚ microscopic‚ unicellular organisms can be identified as microorganisms. Fungi‚ Protista‚ Bacteria‚ and Archaeans are four kingdoms in the phylogenetic tree of life that consist of microorganisms. Amongst these microorganisms the prokaryotes were the first ones to arrive through evolution. The rest of the life forms as we see them evolved from these simple creatures‚ prokaryotes. The smaller prokaryotes were swallowed by bigger prokaryotes setting the stage for the origin of

Adwoa Fosuah Bio Psych Lab Report 4 Cold Pressor Task Aim The cold pressor test is done by having the subject submerge their hands in a bucket of cold water to determine cardiovascular changes such as blood pressure and heart rate. For this experiment we wanted to know how long participant can keep their feet in the bucket of ice water before they experience any pain while looking at neutral and positive pictures and also rate the intensity of their pain. For this reason we hypothesized that
