    Introduction: In liver cells‚ hydrogen peroxide is produced as a bi-product of some metabolic reactions. Hydrogen peroxide is a highly active chemical used in household products for bleaches and cleansing wounds. In a cell its build up would be highly toxic. However‚ liver cells contain an enzyme‚ catalase‚ which immediately breaks down hydrogen peroxide. It is a peroxidase and breaks up the toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen which are both nontoxic. The reaction is exothermic‚ meaning that

    Rate of Catalase in Various Concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide QUESTION: How long does the catalase take to float to the top of a cup filled with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide concentration? PREDICTION: A prediction that can be made for this experiment is that the higher the concentration‚ the faster time it takes the catalase to react with the solution. As the concentration increases from 1% to 100%‚ the average reaction rate of the catalase will decrease‚ as the catalase will speed

    Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the bacteria of my initial unknown project. Determining which bacteria I had was completed by many steps. The one fact that I had‚ was that it was a gram negative bacteria because on the gram stain it appeared pink. Its cell wall is composed of a plasma membrane‚ periplasmic space‚ peptidoglycan and an outer membrane (lipopolysaccharide and protein). By looking at the agar plate it was easy to tell that it was not a swarmer and it did not have any

    Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other.   The random movement

    substrate and maintains a firm grip‚ known as induced fit. This allows for great variations of enzymes. Abstract In this experiment‚ my lab partners and I tested how time effects a catalase reaction. The amount of hydrogen peroxide was recorded after the reaction for the certain time given has taken place. We used sulfuric acid to stop the reaction with the catalase from occurring. This process is known as denaturing (Campbell 152). The potassium permanganate in this experiment was used as hydrogen

    Potato Lab Background information: A hypertonic solution is a concentration that is higher than the solution. A Hypotonic solution is a concentration that is lower than the solution. An isotonic solution is a concentration and solution that is the same amount. Hypothesis question: What will happen if you put a potato in hypertonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in hypotonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in isotonic solution? Hypothesis statement: If you

    concentration of potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered‚ can alter the procedure of the reaction‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and the concentration of either the enzyme
