Investigating Effects of duration of heating on permeability of beetroot cell membrane Introduction: Cell membranes contain many different types of molecules which have different roles in the overall structure of the membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer‚ which is the basic structure of the membrane. Their non-polar tails form a barrier to most water soluble substances. Membrane proteins serves as channels for transport of metabolites‚ some act as enzymes or carriers‚ while some are receptors

ABSTRACT: Two separate variables were hypothesized and tested within the confines of the experiment on their effects on the productivity of lactase enzyme. The measurement of light absorbance levels of different solutions based on both the concentration of o-nitrophenol (ONP) as well as the pH of the solution tested. To begin with‚ differing concentrations of ONP were tested to find the absorbance levels of ONP. Three different pH values‚ 5‚ 6‚ and 7‚ in solution‚ were tested over a period of 8

Amie Gohn 11-30-11 Mr. Brown Introduction There are many different factors that can affect urine including volume‚ urine concentration‚ and pH levels. Factors that affect urine volume are fluid intake and reabsorption‚ which affects the amount of urine released. Urine concentration is measured by the concentration of dissolved solids present in a person’s urine‚ which is affected by water intake levels as well as diet (the amount of sodium in person’s diet). The pH

Catalase Enzyme Lab Samiya Hussein March 9‚ 2012 Introduction In order to receive the necessary amounts of energy required for daily function‚ the digestive system must break down proteins‚ fats and carbohydrates. In doing so‚ the body produces poisonous chemicals; however‚ the cells aren’t harmed. This is because enzymes are used to break down these chemicals. The name of the enzyme that was the main focus of the lab is catalase. Catalase is responsible for catalyzing hydrogen peroxide

For this experiment‚ we started off by taking tubes numbered 1-4 and started adding one scoop of our enzyme catalyst‚ in this case‚ the yeast. We then proceeded to measure and add 1 mL of distilled water to test tubes A-D. To get a more accurate measure of 1 mL of distilled water‚ we used the dropper labeled “W” to drop distilled water into the 5 mL graduated cylinder until we saw that the bottom of the water line reached closely to 1 mL. Next‚ we took the four tubes with the scoop of yeast and

Matthew Saldanha Bio DCP lab-Catalase experiment Aim: To investigate enzyme kinetics‚ using different concentration of the enzyme. Hypothesis: The assay system used in the lab consists of a filter paper disc coated with the enzyme and the dropped into a papercup of substrate (Hydrogen Peroxide). As the hydrogen breaks down the hydrogen peroxide into hydrogen and oxygen gas‚ the bubbles of oxygen gas collect underneath the filter and make it
