Title: What is the effect of concentration of acid on the rate of diffusion in agar blocks? Aim: To investigate how the concentration affects the rate of diffusion of hydrochloric acid through agar blocks Research Question: To determine how will different concentrations (0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M) of hydrochloric acid affect the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride through agar blocks? Introduction-include prediction; information you have researched before Diffusion refers to the passive movement

Experiment 10 – Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts for biological reactions. Enzymes‚ like all catalysts‚ speed up reactions without being used up themselves. They do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. All biochemical reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Since enzymes are proteins‚ they can be denatured in a variety of ways‚ so they are most active under mild conditions. Most enzymes have optimum activity at a neutral pH and at body temperature. Enzymes are

Experiment # 1 Date: 18/12/13 Title: Chemical Properties of Alkanes. Aim: To test the reactivity of alkanes using cyclohexane as an example. Apparatus/Materials: Cyclohexane‚ liquid alkane‚ aqueous bromine‚ test tubes‚ light source‚ watch glass‚ splint‚ 0.1 MKMnO4‚ concentrated H2SO4‚ dilute H2SO4. Method: Combustion: 1. A watch glass was placed on a benched protection sheet in a fume cupboard and the extractor in the fume on. 2. 4 drops of cyclohexane was placed on the watch glass using

chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim: The aim is to investigate and determine the effect of change in pH on the activity of the enzymes catalase. Equipment: Test tubes Test tube rack Pipettes Stopwatch Ruler Pen Safety goggles Gloves Materials:

Salt and the effect it has on water. Do you like salt? Do you put it on your food to make it taste better? Salt doesn’t just make food taste better; it can change the freezing and boiling point of water. I bet you didn’t know that! There’s a reason for that‚ but I’ll explain that a little later. First‚ let’s find out if salt can actually change the freezing and boiling point of water. To do so‚ we need to do an experiment. Now‚ if you’re going to do an experiment‚ you’re going to need a hypothesis

Title: Properties of Gases Purpose: To analyze a few physical and chemical properties of gases as well as using those properties to identify the gases. Procedure: * For Hydrogen I placed a piece of Zn metal into a test tube with diluted HCl. * To produce oxygen I added Hydrogen peroxide to manganese. * Next‚ I added baking soda to vinegar. This caused a quick and energetic reaction! The gas from the reaction I pumped into some Limewater. * Then I mixed Alka Seltzer and water and pumped

Aim To find out how the permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane

AP BIOLOGY EXAM ESSAY (FREE RESPONSE) QUESTIONS General directions: Answers must be in essay form. Labeled diagrams may be used to supplement discussion‚ but in no case will a diagram alone suffice. It is important that you read each question completely‚ and answer each section of the question. When giving examples‚ the first ones you give will be the ones graded. (if two examples are asked for‚ and you write about 4‚ make sure the first two are the best ones; they are the only ones counted

Prophase This answer can be found in the book on page 232‚ “Prophase – centrosomes move away from each other‚ propelled partly by the lengthening microtubules between them.” 4.)

Fundamental Science Salt water egg experiment Result Some objects float on top of the ocean‚ and other objects sink to the bottom. Why? In this salt water egg experiment we can find a solution for this question. It was noted that to make the egg float salt is needed to dissolve into fresh water. When the egg was lowered into the fresh water container it started to sink. But when salt was added to the container the egg started to float. Adding salt to the water squishes more molecules
