Taylor Durham Nutrition 101 Mr. Oropallo Lab Report #2: Fat Extraction From Food What is a triglyceride? Draw its structure. A molecule that contains three fatty acids attached at the oxygen atoms of glycerol. What are the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats? Drawn an example of each. If all bonds are single‚ the fatty acid molecule is saturated. If there is a double bond among the carbon atoms‚ the fatty acid molecule is unsaturated. What form does each of these fats take at

Calorimetry Lab Problem: Which foods have the most calories? Hypothesis: If we burn the food then the heating released will be measured as calories because the energy stored inside is released as heat and light. Parts of the experiment Control Group-water Experimental Group- different foods Independent variable- Type of food Dependent Variable- temperature of water Controlled variables- water temperature of unheated water Materials Stirring Rod‚ Beaker‚ ring clamp‚ evaporating disk‚

Effects of Enzyme Catalysis of H2O2 by Catalase Report by: Timmy Lin (#269164729) October 17‚ 2011 Mr. Rienzi AP Biology Problem: Measuring the effects of Catalase enzymes on hydrogen peroxide decomposition. Measuring the rate of the reaction when hydrogen peroxide and Catalase are mixed at the same ratio for different time (10‚ 20 30 60 120 180 360 seconds). Background: Enzymes are biological catalysts that carry out cellular metabolic processes with the ability to enhance the rate

Flame lab test Chemistry Introduction The lab test performed was to determine characteristic colors that were produced by specific metallic ions that are shown in a flame. This happens when an electron gains energy; the electron moves from an energy level that’s farthest away and to an empty orbital close to the nucleus with higher levels‚ so one of the electrons gives off energy. A flame test is a visual test where the energy is in the form of a color change and the change can

1. What is an ionic bond? Typically an ionic bond occurs between one metal and one non-metal ion. One atom borrows one or more electrons from another atom. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion‚ which then result in attraction. 2. What is a covalent bond? A covalent bond is a bond that occurs when atoms in a molecule share a pair of electrons. For example‚ “the

Modeling Effective Dose: Salt Tasting lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to see at what measurements (of salt) can the salt be detected by taste. Abstract The science of toxicology is based on the principle that there is a relationship between a toxic reaction (the response) and the amount of poison received (the dose). An important assumption in this relationship is that there is almost always a dose below which no response occurs or can be measured. A second assumption is that once a maximum

Abstract This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each‚ bacteria and fungal amylase‚ and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature
