BEETROOT PIGMENTS - and membranes – These pigments are betalain pigments (not‚ as often thought‚ anthocyanins)‚ which they replace in some organisms. They are named after the Beet family of plants (Beta) but are also found in fungi (Fly Agaric - the red‚ spotted one!). In petals they presumably attract pollinating insects and may be present in seeds/fruits to encourage birds to eat them and so disperse the seeds. Man has selected for colour in beetroot‚ both because

Tiltle: What was happened to the bananas? Objective: To compare the amount of reducing sugars and starch in yellow and green bananas. Introduction: Bananas are green in colour and taste flat but after they are harvested and stored for some days‚ they will turn yellow from green and become sweet. Hypothesis: The green banana tasted plain because it contained large amount of starch‚ while the yellow banana tasted sweet since it contained large amount of reducing sugars. Biological principles:

Design Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors

Abstract Enzyme catalysis was observed in order to analyze how changes in temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ and substrate concentration affected an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. This experiment analyzed the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and observed the correlation between catalase activity and products formed. It was found out that the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction starts off rapidly‚ decreases‚ and levels off or completely stops‚ and can be further affected by environmental factors

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the formation constant of the tetraamminecopper(II) ion by colorimetry. Anhydrous copper sulfate (CuSO4) is white‚ which means that it does not absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum. The hydrated copper sulfate (CuSO4 - 5H2O) is blue. The structure of the compound can be represented more accurately as Cu(H2O)4 SO4 - H2O where four water molecules are bound to the copper ion and the fifth is a water of crystallization. The

CORE PRACTICAL ONE Describe how the effect of caffeine on heart rate in Daphnia can be investigated practically‚ and discuss whether there are ethical issues in the use of invertebrates. Daphnia‚ the water flea‚ is a small freshwater crustacean which lacks physiological methods of maintaining a constant body temperature. This means that if the environmental temperature changes‚ its body temperature does so too and its metabolic rate will be expected to rise or fall accordingly. So the temperature
