An investigation to see how much oxygen is given off when different concentrations of catalase are added with hydrogen peroxide. Aim: To see if changing the concentration of catalase (found in celery) with hydrogen peroxide affects the amount of oxygen given of. Background Information: (Hydrogen peroxide - H2O2 1/2O2+H2O) Enzymes: Hundreds of chemical reactions happen simultaneously inside living cells and it’s the job of enzymes to control and regulate the various metabolic

aluminium at the cathode and oxygen at the anode. 4Al3+ + 12e- 4Al (aluminium metal at the (-) cathode) reduction. 6O2- - 12e- 3O2 (oxygen gas at the (+) anode) oxidation. Aluminium is more dense than the alumina/cryolite solution and so it falls to the bottom of the cell where it can be tapped off as pure liquid metal. The overall reaction is aluminium oxide aluminium + oxygen. 2Al2O3(l) 4Al(l) + 3O2(g) Oxygen is given off at the

depending on the availability of oxygen and their biological make-up. In many cases the cells are in an oxygen-rich environment. For example‚ as you sit and read this sentence‚ you are breathing in oxygen‚ which is then carried throughout your body by red blood cells. But‚ some cells grow in envi¬ronments without oxygen (yeast in wine-making or the bacteria that cause botulism in canned food)‚ and occasionally animal cells must function without sufficient oxygen (as in running sprints).

Determining the Empirical Formula of a Compound: Burning Magnesium Lab Purpose: To experimentally determine the percent composition of a reaction product. Directions: Work in teams of three. The directions for this lab are on a separate sheet of paper at your lab bench. Make sure that everyone in your group understands the process and purpose before you get started. Assign tasks. Everyone in the group will be expected to contribute at the same level of participation‚ and for this experiment

Lab 5Cellular Respiration Introduction: Cellular respiration is an ATP-producing catabolic process in which the ultimate electron acceptor is an inorganic molecule‚ such as oxygen. It is the release of energy from organic compounds by metabolic chemical oxidation in the mitochondria within each cell. Carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and fats can all be metabolized as fuel‚ but cellular respiration is most often described as the oxidation of glucose‚ as follows: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + 686 kilocalories

The reactants are oxygen and glucose. I know that oxygen is needed for cellular respiration because of lab 9.1. In that lab‚ we found out that 20ml of oxygen for 100ml of blood was going to the cells from the lungs. We also discovered that of the 100ml of blood‚ 15 was going from the cells to the lungs. This shows us that oxygen is necessary for cellular respiration because as the blood went through the body‚ the oxygen level decreased because it was being used up by

Effect Of Exercise On The Body Aim The aim of the experiment is to find out the effect exercise has on the body‚ and why these changes take place in the body. Introduction Respiration is the physical process by which living organisms take in oxygen from the surrounding medium and emit carbon dioxide. The term respiration is also used to refer to the liberation of energy‚ within the cell‚ from fuel molecules such as carbohydrates and fats. Carbon dioxide and water are the products of this process

exercise and the resting rates will be restored soon after exercise has stopped. I believe that the changes are caused by the increased need for oxygen and energy in muscles as they have to contract faster during exercise. When the exercise is finished the heart and ventilation rates will gradually decrease back to the resting rates as the muscles’ need for oxygen and energy will be smaller than during exercise. Experiment: 1. To start with the experiment we measured the persons resting heart rate
