facilitating reactions that are necessary for an organism to live. Enzymes can be very specific to what environment they function best in1. Numerous environmental impacts were tested for the enzyme peroxidase which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The basic decomposition reaction was carried out first without any environmental alterations. The hypothesis for this reaction was supported. The enzyme caused the amount of absorbance increase as time went on at a fairly constant rate (Figure 1)

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

on the soil fauna‚ chemical reactions and the transportation on substances. (Hillel‚ 2004). Climate varies depending on where the soil is in the world. The conditions of the soils control the amount of water available for vegetation‚ rates of decomposition of organic matter and faunal activity (Hillel‚ 2004). Areas that have high rainfall will have more vegetation biomass which helps with contributing to organic biomass. The water that falls to the ground is soaked up by the soil and some of it is

fairly quickly‚ although some carbon stays in the plant till it dies and is decomposed. If the plant dies‚ the carbon can stay in the soil for millions of years; this is because the carbon is formed in very complicated chemical formulas that resist decomposition. If the plant‚ eg a tree‚ is made into a by-product such as paper‚ or a table‚carbon will remain in the wood

the fish was retrieving enough nutrients and food. Recreating nature was not the easiest task. Purpose/Introduction: In this experiment we are trying to test whether or not we could keep aquatic fauna and plant fauna alive using decomposition for the main source of nutrients and food. The idea was to see if we could produce enough nutrients without creating a lot of turbidity. This research stands very important in the natural environmental world because it gives us a good understanding

is used to carry out the top-down decomposition of a set of high-level functions depicted in the problem description and to represent them graphically. During structured analysis‚ functional decomposition of the system is achieved. That is‚ each function that the system performs is analyzed and hierarchically decomposed into more detailed functions. Structured analysis technique is based on the following essential underlying principles: • • • Top-down decomposition approach. Divide and conquer principle
