Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were

[pic] Fig. 1 (a) Simple beam in pure bending. (b) Cantilever beam in pure bending Another illustration of pure bending is given in Fig. 1b‚ where the cantilever beam AB is subjected to a clockwise couple M2 at the free end. There are no shear forces in this beam‚ and the bending moment M is constant throughout its length. The bending moment is negative (M = - M2). The symmetrically loaded simple beam of Fig. 2a is an example of a beam that is partly in pure bending

Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of catalysis such as an enzyme. Moreover to

An enzyme is a tertiary globular protein. The function of an enzyme is to lower the activation energy of either the creation or breaking apart of a chemical bond. By lowering the activation energy of this process‚ the reaction of bonding‚ or in this case breaking apart‚ is sped up. An enzyme breaks apart the substrate in the active site of the enzyme; this is where the magic happens. Substrate is what is being broken apart by the enzyme. In this case‚ the enzyme is catalase and the substrate is hydrogen

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

continued to increase from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2‚ the velocity of experiment IV (the uninhibited reaction) decreased slightly from 27% (7.938M) to 30% (8.8M) H2O2 (Figure 3.3). Since this is not an expected result based on Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics‚ this slight decrease was likely due to human error. The average difference in velocity between the inhibited and uninhibited reactions was 0.3942 mL/s. A paired t-test was run on the velocity data for the two experiments and resulted in
