AP BIOLOGY- Mitosis and Meiosis Cell Division Lab Part 1-MITOSIS summary: In this experiment first the stages of an onion cell undergoing mitosis are going to be observed and every stage is going to be detected and drawn on paper. A brief description to what is going on should be attached to the pictures. This is important to understand the basics of cell division which is necessary growth‚repair

Introduction Enzymes are catalytic proteins. The purpose of a catalyst is to speed up metabolic reactions by lowering the free energy of activation or activation energy. Activation energy is known as the amount of energy needed to push the reactants over an energy barrier‚ so that the downhill part of the reaction can begin (Campbell 151). In an enzyme catalyzed reaction‚ the enzyme binds to its substrate‚ which is the reactant an enzyme acts on. In the reactions‚ the enzymes are very specific

Pineapple In order for this to have occurred‚ there has to be a comparison between fresh and canned pineapple in terms of their physical and chemical properties. The physical properties of fresh pineapple are that it is sweet‚ ripe and raw.

Michelle Kim 2012.1.20 Biology Iso-osmolar Concentration of Carrot Cells Lab INTRODUCTION For a more thorough understanding of this lab introduction‚ the concepts of‚ iso osmolar‚ membrane‚ equilibrium‚ and concentration gradient evaluated. Iso osmolar can be known as the point in which the substance of experimentation faces no change despite the amount of solute inside the solvent( because the solvent and solute concentration is equal. This is where the line on a graph would cross on the x-axis)

Lab Report: Toothpickase and Enzymes September 19‚ 2012 Olivia DePhillips Lab Partner: Joy Morgan Meyers Signature: Introduction Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process‚ called substrates‚ are converted into different molecules‚ called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Like all catalysts‚ enzymes work

Abstract The objective of this lab was to measure the amount of protein from a piece of beef liver . This was done by taking the liver‚ blending it and then using a centrifuge to separate the supernatant from the pellet. Once that was completed‚ ammonium sulfate was added to the supernatant‚ chilled and then spun for a second time. Next‚ 20 mL of water is added to the pellet‚ stirred and the volume was recorded. The teacher calculated the total mass of liver to be 10.098g. Lastly a spectronic

Chemistry Unit 1 – Revision Questions Chemistry 1A 1) Define an element. How many are there in the Periodic Table? 2) Write a table with the charges and masses of protons‚ neutrons and electrons. 3) Define atomic number and mass number. 4) Draw electron (energy level) diagrams for Be‚ S‚ Al‚ Cl and K. Also‚ write down the number of protons and neutrons for each. Finally‚ write the symbols (with mass no. and atomic no.) 5) Why have all Group 7 elements (halogens) got similar chemical properties

The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to

Graphs are often used to deliver a visual and compelling case in many applications and businesses. Graphs are the information delivery vehicle of choice for many numerical data applications. With graphs a lot of information can be condensed into a visually descriptive object. They reduce the amount of time that would have been expended in reading or parsing through a lot of information. On the other hand‚ they can also be easily used to misrepresent or skew interpretation towards a favorable
