Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Boiling‚ and Hydroxylamine on the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted From Brassica rapa Abstract In this experiment the enzyme peroxidase was extracted from from a turnip‚ Brassica rapa‚ and tested under different conditions. The effects of temperature‚ boiling‚ pH‚ and a competitive inhibitor were tested. The enzyme was tested at temperatures of 4°C‚ 24°C‚ 32°C‚ and 48°C. As the temperature increased‚ so did the activity of the enzyme

Hoeung 1 Tiffany Hoeung Ms. Braceras Honors Earth Science 4 March 2015 How Does Slope Affect the Movement of a Glacier Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to find how slope would affect glacier’s movement‚ and whether the movement was at a constant rate or changed. Hypothesis: If the slope is more steep‚ then the glacier’s movements will be faster than a less steep slope. Materials: Flubber Glue Water Borax Long tray Timer Procedure: 1

saliva is to quantitatively measure the ratio of concentrations of caffeine and metabolites. There are three different metabolites of caffeine and the majority of caffeine metabolite is paraxanthine. The ratio of concentration represents the activity of the first metabolism enzyme of caffeine‚ CYP1A2 because it is responsible for the pathway of metabolism of caffeine. And the half-life of caffeine is about 4 to 5 hours (Thorn‚ 2011) Therefore‚ in this lab‚ we measure the saliva collected at different

Introduction Human cilia play a critical part in human processes. Human cilia are hair-like projections that extend from the surface of a cell. Cilia are capable of rhythmic motion and acts together from separate strands so that the cell is capable of movement. Flagella are a whip-like structure that is found in cells as well that allow for the movement of the cell. Human cilia are characterized as having “metachronal rhythm" and this means is a rhythm that "changes time" to produce wave. The beating

in a water sample Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine the concentration of two bases‚ carbonate and bicarbonate‚ by using a potentiometric titration. We can determine the concentration of the bases in the reactions ( H+ +CO3- < ==> HCO3- and H+ + HCO3- < ==> H2CO3-) by the way the pH of the solution changes. The way the pH changes when a strong acid is added can be used to determine the concentration of the strong and weak bases that are present in the solution

Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Title Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Abstract Does more or less concentration speed up the reaction rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in

Maryely Ramirez Professor Theresa Sterner Bio Lab 105 04 November 2013 The Effects Environmental Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is

This indicates that solution X is isotonic because the concentrations are similar‚ resulting in no difference in appearance. Solution Y is hypertonic because it shrank the membrane in plasmolysis‚ which forced all of the chloroplasts to the center of the cell. The cell possessed a higher concentration of water than the solution‚ which expelled all of the water in the cell‚ causing it to shrink. Solution Z is hypotonic because

strike the enemy! Submarine batteries are nothing but electrochemical cells! That’s why electrochemistry is so important and everyone should try it!! 6 Inside a space craft: How do people get oxygen inside a space craft? 7 Electrolysis is an important aspect of electrochemistry! 8 So there are plenty of reasons why we should learn electrochemistry! From submarines to space crafts to our daily life‚ electrochemistry is involved in many forms! We would study the following
