Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Boiling‚ and Hydroxylamine on the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted From Brassica rapa Abstract In this experiment the enzyme peroxidase was extracted from from a turnip‚ Brassica rapa‚ and tested under different conditions. The effects of temperature‚ boiling‚ pH‚ and a competitive inhibitor were tested. The enzyme was tested at temperatures of 4°C‚ 24°C‚ 32°C‚ and 48°C. As the temperature increased‚ so did the activity of the enzyme

INTRODUCTION The measurement of fluid flow is very important in our daily life from measurements of blood-flow rates in human artery to the measurement of liquid oxygen in a rocket. In this experiment‚ students are to adapt to various ways to measure the flow of essentially incompressible fluids by using the flow measuring apparatus. Students will also be able to understand the application of Bernoulli’s equation in this experiment. The flow is measured by using a venture meter‚ an orifice meter

The Effect of Substrate Concentration on Initial Reaction Rate The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between substrate concentration and initial reaction rate provided that substrate concentration is much greater than enzyme concentration. Enzymes are essential to life as they are required for many vital metabolic reactions to occur. To adequately explain the properties of enzymes‚ it is assumed that an enzyme-controlled reaction takes place through an enzyme-substrate

The final result of g takes into account the correction for the error introduced using the approximation. There are opportunities to correct for the effects of mass distribution‚ air buoyancy and damping‚ and string stretching[1]. Our results do not take these effects into account at this time. A.

The effects toxins such as caffeine‚ nicotine‚ epinephrine‚ ethanol and salt have on the Daphnia magna’s heart rate Results The effect the various drugs caffeine‚ nicotine and epinephrine had on the Daphnia magna is displayed in Figure 1. After three sample trials were taken there was an average of 180 beats/min-1 ± 6.928 taken under normal conditions. The addition of caffeine caused an increase in the average heartbeat to change to 192 beats/min-1 ± 9.165 in the Daphnia magna tested. When testing

Effects of Molasses Concentration on Yeast Fermentation The purpose of this lab was to determine how yeast cells are affected by the concentration of a food source‚ and for our purposes‚ the food sources were corn syrup and molasses. Our hypothesis was that the yeast cells would ferment the most when there was a higher concentration of molasses/corn syrup. In order to test this‚ we created 10 test tubes with decreasing concentrations of molasses/corn syrup using a serial dilution. Each test
