Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme

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; “reactant

immediately by cytokinesis‚ which divides the nuclei‚ cytoplasm‚ organelles and cell membrane into two daughter cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle‚ the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells‚ each with the genetic equivalent of the parent cell. In simple terms‚ mitosis is the process where non sex cells reproduce by duplicating DNA and dividing into two identical cells. Each cell

CHEMISTRY LAB REPORTS How to Write a Lab Report Lab Reports gives the explanation of the experiment done Lab reports are an essential part of all laboratory courses and usually a significant part of your grade. If your instructor gives you an outline for how to write a lab report‚ use that. Here ’s a format for a lab report you can use if you aren ’t sure what to write or need an explanation of what to include in the different parts of the report. A lab report is how you explain what you did

2013 Course Name and Code : Physics Lab 1 (FP1021) Instructor’s name : Dr. Azah Nik Jaafar Objective 1. To measure Human Reaction Time 2. To find uncertainty and error of a measurement Apparatus 1. Ruler Theory Human Reaction Time is a measure of how quickly human can respond to a particular stimulus. This experiment is done by dropping a ruler and measuring the distance the ruler falls. On this experiment‚ the purpose of conducting the human reaction time is as an example indirect measurement

Dr. Braun/Lab K Lewis Symbols & Structures Purpose The purpose of this lab experiment is to practice writing Lewis symbols for elements and monatomic ions while writing Lewis structure for molecules and polyatomic ions. I will also be writing chemical equations using Lewis structures for different reactions involving either ionic compounds or covalent compounds

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

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving
