Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually

’Neil 2002). The particular conditions that had to exist for this to apply were that the population had no mutation‚ had no natural selection‚ was a large population‚ had only random mating‚ and had no migration. For the cases to follow later in the lab‚ Cases 1 and 2 exemplify Hardy-Weinberg conditions. All of the others either have selection or not enough members in the population‚ which will be the most-closely observed

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

animal though? In this experiment we are using lab mice‚ Mus musculus‚ to see if the introduction of a predator scent (fox urine) increases‚ decreases‚ or has no effect on the metabolic rate within them. We will calculate the mass specific metabolic rate and use a t-test to determine if there is a significant change in metabolic rate when the mouse is exposed to the predator urine and when it is not exposed. With these mice being born and raised in a lab‚ the fox urine should have no effect on the metabolic

There are two types of nuclear division include mitosis and meiosis. Mitotic cell division is involved in the formation of an adult organism from a fertilized egg‚ asexual reproduction‚ regeneration‚ and maintenance or repair of body parts. Mitosis typically results in new somatic‚ or body cells. Meiosis results in the formation of either gametes in animals or spores in plants. The cells formed have half the chromosome number of the parent cell. Mitosis is best observed in cells that are growing at

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough
