SOCIAL DILEMMS CRISCYNTHIA MCWILLIAMS INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY DORIE RICHARDS FEBRUARY 18‚ 2013 Our perception of ourselves can be one of many but the most important of our perception is determined by our behavior. What we think about ourselves is who we become. If we think we are inadequate‚ we will begin to act that way. If we feel positive‚ we will act that way. The trail forward towards

Enzyme assay lab report Health and safety: 4-nitrophenol is harmful. Introduction: Enzymes are quaternary structured proteins that are specific biological catalysts that speed up a reaction without being used up. They contain an active site that allows substrate to bind to a specific area on the enzyme which is of a complimentary shape of the substrate. There are two models of enzyme action‚ the Lock and Key model and the Induced Fit model. The Lock and Key model states that the enzyme has a specific

Introduction Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to regulate metabolism by selectively speeding up chemical reactions in the cell without being consumed during the process. During the catalytic action‚ the enzyme binds to the substrate – the reactant enzyme acts on – and forms an enzyme-substrate complex to convert the substrate into the product. Each type of enzyme combines with its specific substrate‚ which is recognized by the shape. In the enzymatic reaction‚ the initial rate of activity is constant
Premium Enzyme Catalysis Catalase
BIOLOGY IA A Factor That Will Affect Enzyme Activity The Question Effects on Enzyme activity: investigating the effects of mixing Hydrogen Peroxide with Catalase extracted from potatoes at different temperatures‚ and then comparing the results with the same method‚ except to replace the Potato juice with MnO2 Hypothesis Since enzymes are a type of protein‚ they will be destroyed at high temperatures and activity rates will go down at low temperatures. Also‚ if done at low temperature

Objective: To find out the food substance in food sample X‚Y and Z. Biological Principle: Test for lipids using the grease spot test Test for glucose using Clinistix paper Test for reducing sugars using Benedict’s test Test for starch using the iodine test Test for proteins using Albustix paper Test for vitamin C using DCPIP solution A control using distilled water instead of the sample should be included. Independent: different types of food samples Dependent: different types of food

Objective of experiment * The objective of the experiment is to assess the effect of different pH conditions on enzyme activity. Hypothesis * I feel the pH affected the enzyme activity to produce product. Prediction * If the pH affected the enzyme activity to produce product‚ then rate of reaction will change. Procedure * The procedure that we followed was to take two test tubes and label one pH2 and one pH10 and incubate 1 ml of each solution for 30 minutes. Then after 30 minutes

ASSAYING PLANT SUBSTANCES FOR ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY PURPOSE To test plant extracts to see if they possess antibacterial activity. PROCEDURE First create a list of plant extracts being tested and choose 2 extracts per group. The plants being tested are Oregano‚ Tea tree‚ Eucalyptus and Colloidal Silver. Obtain two nutrient agar plates and using a permanent marker draw four quadrants on the bottom of each agar plate. Using a sterile pipet transfer 250 ml of E. coli broth to the middle of
