Enzyme Activity Lab Hypothesis: 1] Are enzymes reusable? Yes‚ enzymes are reusable. 2] Which of the following do you think contain catalase? [Manganese dioxide‚ chicken meat‚ apple‚ carrot‚ potato‚ or chicken liver] I think that the manganese dioxide‚ apple‚ and carrot contain the catalase. 3] Would grinding the materials affect enzyme activity? I think that grinding the materials will increase enzyme activity. 4] Would temperature affect enzyme activity? I think that

Background: Techniques used were in accordance with NMU Professor Dr. D. Becker’s lab manual (ISBN 0-390-53911- 2; McGraw Hill). Changes in protocol or interpretation are noted where they were implemented‚ but strict adherence to the manual prevailed. Materials and Methods: Microscope‚ incubator‚ and deionizer functioned correctly throughout testing period‚ with stains‚ dishes‚ agars‚ and test reagents readily available. Lab procedures are considered orthodox and usage thereof is noted chronologically

Upon further incubation a white ring of litmus forms at the bottom of the tube at the pink-red color is now present only at the top of the tube. Still further incubation leads to the formation of a rennet curd at the bottom of the tube. * Production of Acid: C. The color of the litmus has changed from purple to white and there is a purple band at the

What events led to the execution of Charles I? The English Civil war‚ which lasted from 1642 to 1649‚ was brought on as a result of many different causes. This war was unique because the sides that were in dispute were none other than the English monarch and his own representative assembly. Also‚ it was the first war that culminated in the trial and execution of its ruling monarch. Charles I was the son of King James I of England and became heir to the throne after the death of his brother Prince

For this lab it was necessary to bring a watch with a second hand‚ as well as personal protective gear: lab coat‚ safety goggles‚ and safety gloves. It was best to work in pairs and one partner needed to be a timekeeper while the other one would record the data. The timekeeper then would announce every 5 second interval‚ beginning from when the enzyme was added to the tube. On the other hand‚ the recorder would read and record the absorbance from the spectrometer at the 5 second intervals. This was

GAS LAWS Properties of Gases Gases expand into any available volume • gas molecules escape from open containers. Gases are completely miscible • once mixed they will not spontaneously separate. Gases are described in terms of T‚ P‚ V and n Volume‚ Amount and Temperature • A gas expands uniformly to fill the container in which it is placed – The volume of the container is the volume of the gas – Volume may be in liters‚ mL‚ or cm3 • The temperature of a gas must be indicated

Purpose The purpose of this lab is to find the boiling point of the liquid and find the melting point of the solid. Procedure Boiling point: To find the boiling point of Isopropyl Alcohol I put about 1 mL of it in the test tube. Then I attached the thermometer to the test tube with a rubber band(make sure the thermometer bulb is lined up with the end of the test tube). After that I made a water bath with a beaker and put in the test tube with the thermometer. I then used a burner and a burner stand

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Anaerobic Respiration Lab Aim: To identify the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast Apparatus and Materials: boiling tubes‚ delivery tube‚ bungs‚ sugar‚ yeast‚ lime water‚ liquid paraffin‚ Bunsen burner Procedure: Water was first boiled in the boiling tube. A small amount of sugar was then dissolved into the boiled water‚ which was allowed to cool. A little bit of yeast was added then stirred. Apparatus was set up as shown in Figure 4. A layer of liquid paraffin was added to the surface
