Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

Botany Lab ------------------------------------------------- Introduction This study observed the effects of different body fluids and solutions relative to breaking down bacteria‚ specifically in the human body. The enzymes we studied‚ lysozomes‚ help the body lyse‚ or break down bacteria by targeting peptidoglycan in bacterial walls. The solutions and fluids studied were saliva‚ mucus‚ tears‚ a stock solution of lysozomes‚ and distilled water. The solutions were placed in agar containing Micrococcus

Abstract: In this Lab we used the chemical DPIP to detect the rate of succinate broken down by the mitochondrial solution. We detected the amount of DPIP in the solution with a spectrophotometer and measuring the absorbance of light at the 600nm range. DPIP is a useful chemical to use in this experiment because it goes from a blue color when oxidized to a colorless liquid (Ogura‚ 281)‚ this is due to the hydrogen ions and electrons released during the transitional step between succinate and fumarate

Title: Effects of Light on Photosynthesis Introduction: Photosynthesis is the complex process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to make carbohydrates by using light energy in green plants. The objective of this experiment is to measure the rate of photosynthesis Hypothesis: The petri dish that is exposed to the most light and with the NaHCO3 solution will have the best results and the petri dish that is kept in the dark will have the poorest results. Material and Methods: 1. Get 4

EXPERIMENT Materials 200 Toothpicks Timer Tape Controls 50 toothpicks per trial. 120 seconds per trial. The same brand of toothpicks. One toothpick broken at a time (except for Mutation Trial 2). One toothpick broken into two pieces equals one reaction. Broken toothpicks cannot react again. (Toothpicks can only be broken once) The toothpicks are broken between the thumb‚ index‚ and middle finger (toothpickase). Break two toothpicks at a time (Trail 3). Tape the index finger and thumb.

Enzymes are catalysts that are used to speed up chemical reactions. Adding inorganic catalysts to reactants increase the rate of most chemical reactions. However‚ all enzymes are different and there are numerous amounts. Many enzymes are essential for life and reactions would not happen rapidly to maintain life with the help of enzymes. Specific enzymes lower the activation energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy

Biology 101 Popcorn experiment Lab partners Robert Barham Michelle hall Diva Mancada Kelley Pritt 1 Introduction Popcorn‚ or popping corn‚ is a type of corn which explodes from a kernel and puffs up when heated. It is a popular snack food‚ especially in movie theaters. Popcorn can be salted or sweetened. Air popped popcorn is naturally high in fiber‚ low in calories and fat‚ contains no sodium and is sugar free. This can make it an attractive snack for people with caloric or

Enzymes are proteins produced by living cells of that act as catalysts which affects the rate of biochemical reaction by speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of
