The underlining purpose of the experiment was to show that error is ok as long as you know what the flaws are and be able to explain they happened. The lab involved burning a Marshmallow‚ a CHEEZ-IT‚ a Cheeto‚ and A Chex. The heat from the burning snack food is then carried into the H2O and used to calculate the energy content. An improvement that could be made was a replacement for the paperclip; it was

This purpose of the lab was to observe and compare the reactivity of the elements within groups and the reactivity of the groups themselves. The elements of each group were reacted with fire‚ acid (HCl or HNO3)‚ or in deionized water. According to the observations‚ the most reactive group was the alkali metals. Since the alkali metals are in group 1‚ they only have one valence electron and can easily lose this electron. As you move towards the right of the periodic table‚ the number of electrons

Proteomics is the study of proteomes‚ which are groups of proteins in living systems. It is used to examine when and where proteins are being expressed‚ rate of degradation‚ modifications‚ how they interact with other proteins and more. The goal in this lab was to determine the similarities and differences in muscle proteins among 5 species of fish using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. First‚ proteins are separated based on size. Second‚ antibodies are used to detect the protein of interest. Lastly‚ a substrate

Homeostasis Lab: The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Purpose: To discover the effect that various levels of exercise have on specific body parameters. Hypothesis: If a subject walks up and down a flight of stairs for eight minutes‚ then they start to sweat more‚ their heart rate‚ body temperature‚ and breathing rate will increase‚ and there will be a change in their skin color on their arms and face‚ because the body will be trying to maintain homeostasis. Materials: You will

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

In fermentation the pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol‚ through the oxidation of the 2 NADH molecules‚ which returns them to two NAD+’s (Freeman‚ 2011). Oxidation is the loss of an electron in this case H+. We used information from previous labs in which we tested

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. our body cells depend highly on enzymes to complete many important functions‚ such as digestion and metabolism. Enzymes are selective‚ in which each enzyme can only speed up a specific reaction. There are molecules that enzymes work with called substrates. substrate bind to an area of an enzyme called active site. There is specificity between the enzyme and substrate that react with
