Chem 102 - Lab #2 Quantitative Analysis of a Soluble Sulfate Steven English Lab Instructor: Dr. Campo Date: Tuesday‚ February 5th 2013 Pre-Lab Questions A. Adding the acid to the sodium sulfate solution results in an increase in the solubility of any free anions present in the sample. This will happen because the present anions will bind with the hydrogen cations present in the acid. B. The sodium sulfate is boiled because experiments have shown that barium sulfate is 50

The touch stimulus due to the insect is transmitted to the entire leaf and all the tentacles bend over the insect. 2/DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION=The small intestine is where the majority of food digestion occurs. At this point carbohydrates and proteins are already partially digested‚ while lipids have not yet begun. Chyme leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum (the 1st portion of the small intestine) via

pepsin‚ which degrades proteins. The secretion of pepsinogen prevents self-digestion of the stomach cells. Further up the pits‚ parietal cells produce gastric acid‚ which kills most of the bacteria in food‚ stimulates hunger‚ and activates pepsinogen into pepsin. Near the top of the pits‚ closest to the contents of the stomach‚ there are mucus producing cells called goblet cells that help protect the stomach from self-digestion. The muscularis externa‚ as previously mentioned‚ is made up of three

3. How does the digestive system assist in maintaining the water balance in the body? The large intestines help with water retention so the body doesn’t get dehydrated very easily. 4. How do enzymes assist the process of digestion? Enzymes help assists the process of digestion by breaking down specific macromolecules and speeding up the process as well. 5. How do factors such as temperature‚ pH and concentration of enzyme or substrate affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions? They can speed

Extraction and Analysis of Plasmid DNA from E. coli Cells Introduction A plasmid is an extra-chromosomal element‚ often a circular DNA. Since a plasmid is by definition an extra-chromosomal element‚ it cannot make use of any origin of DNA replication in a chromosome (BP site). Meaning that DNA synthesis within a plasmid depends on having an origin of DNA synthesis of its own. Plasmids are often found in bacterial cells‚ in which they are used as transfer agents for transmitting various antibiotic

"Immune System‚” 2013). Without the digestive system‚ the protein and starch in our food could not be broken down into usable molecules‚ and therefore would be useless. Digestion and absorption of the food we eat is done so with the help of several organs in our body. The nervous system and the endocrine system control the digestion process. Once we have chewed our food and activated the release of saliva‚ the brain sends a message to our stomach where a protein-digesting enzyme from glands in the
