Shannon Yeh October 28‚ 2013 Animal Dentition Laboratory Assignment (Figure 1.) Tooth Sharpness (degrees) (Figure 2.) Relative Tooth Width (mm.) Results: The dental formula is a convention used by mammalogists to determine the tooth number and tooth arrangements. The dental formula is calculated by counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars present in the upper jaw (one side) and counting the number of incisors‚ canines‚ premolars‚ and molars

Lab Ex#8: "Enzymes: Catalysts of Life" INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein organelles where chemical reactions take place to generate energy within our cells. Without the energy produced from the cell enzyme activity‚ we would not possess the catalyst activity necessary for energy to produce movement. Each enzyme performs a specific function within our bodies. Those functions performed can be significantly altered with the introduction of variables outside their environment. Variables‚ such as temperature

pH & Enzyme Action Aim: To inspect the effects of the pH on enzymes. Apparatus: 100 cm³ Beaker 3 – 5cm³ Syringes 2 Test Tube Racks with 8 Test Tubes Stop-watch Ruler Dropping bottle of detergent Marker Pen Masking Tape 400cm³ Hydrogen Peroxide 200cm³ Liver Catalase Solution 100cm³ of following Buffer Solution – pH5 pH7 pH9 pH11 Method: The materials were collected. The test tube rack one with 4 test tubes had been labelled A to D. The 2cm³ of each buffer solution

the experiment demonstrates that the catalase enzyme breaks down the hydrogen peroxide due to its harmful toxicity to the liver. In section A‚ the effect surface area has on the enzyme was tested. The results have proven that as the surface area increases‚ the reaction rate of the enzyme also increases. To illustrate‚ when the liver was ground‚ the bubbles from the reaction reached a maximum height of 150mm in five seconds less than the unground liver which merely reached a maximum height of 120mm

Version 2: Identifying Dominant Plant Species 1- Hypothesis Based on the results‚ the bunchberry plant‚ with a scientific name of Cornus canadensis‚ was most frequently seen in station four‚ the ecotone‚ and second most in station five‚ the forest which is most likely in the lower forest since it has a similar environment to that of station four‚ and third most in station three‚ the bog. It was not as frequently seen in areas of higher elevation such as the old field. It should be noted that

The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the activity of enzymes‚ components that influence the enzyme’s activity‚ identify an unknown phosphatase‚ influence of inhibitors‚ and determine if inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive. A spectrophotometer evaluated the measurement of color change over a period time due to product being formed. Determining unknown phosphatase and effects from different inhibitors were determined by varying the pH and substrate concentrations. The unknown

Enzyme Lab Using Jello INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are known as protein catalysts. The name protein catalyst suggests that most enzymes are made of proteins. A catalyst is a substance that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. (Giuseppe‚ M 2002‚ p.69). After a reaction has been catalyzed‚ the catalyst can be used again to catalyze the same reaction. Enzymes reduce the activation energy (minimal energy) it takes for a reaction to take place. Enzymes can either catabolize

This can be observed by looking at the values in table 2.0 and the trendline on grade 2.0. The trendline displays a positive slope‚ thus dictating a positive relationship between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction. This means when catalase concentration increases‚ the rate of reaction also increases. In other words‚ at
