to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach)‚ Brassica oleracea (Broccoli)‚ Solanum tuberosum (Russet Potato)‚ Malus domestica

Egg Lab Report Introduction: An egg is a model of a human because the egg has a cell membrane like humans do inside and outside of the body that let things pass through like water. We can use eggs to study the effect of changes in the external environment on the internal environment by having harsh environments like putting the egg in only alcohol and see what happens to the inside of the egg. Diffusion is the movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more to a less concentrated

Benjamin Kleveland 502 October 26‚ 2014 Lab 7 Report Lights Distance and Wavelength Effect on Photosynthesis Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are often mistaken as the same thing. Although they are similar in many ways‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the exact opposite of each other. Not figuratively‚ but literally the reverse (Photosynthesis). They incorporate the others products while adding some outside energy to create a never ending cycle. This brings us to the photochemical

chloroplasts‚ which is a plastid that contains chlorophyll and involves two interlinked reactions‚ which are light dependent reactions and light independent reactions. Throughout our lab experiment‚ we focused on the affect access of light has on carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide levels decrease as oxygen levels increase and glucose is produced when light dependent reactions occur. Light energy is absorbed by photo pigments and is used to raise a electron to a higher energy state.

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

Alka-Seltzer Rocket Formal Lab Report Abstract In the Alka-Seltzer Rocket lab one was to experimentally determine how much (grams) Alka-Seltzer and water in mL‚ is needed to launch the rocket the highest/longest distance in cm. Also to experimentally determine the % NaHCO3 in the tablet using the information from the highest/longest distance. Calculate the error and % error of NaHCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet and to determine the limiting reagent for the highest/longest distance traveled. Alka-Seltzer

that if we place all 6 individual cups underneath a different color of light‚ the spinach discs that produce enough oxygen will have the highest amount rise‚ which will show us the optimal color of light for photosynthesis. These different colors of light included blue‚ red‚ green‚ fluorescent‚ regular light‚ and classroom light. The classroom light was our control cup during the lab. Before we conducted our experiment‚ the class learned about the photosynthetic process of‚ not only spinach discs

ADI Lab Report Every living thing is made up of cells. All cells have some part in common. Some multicellular cells are highly specialized and carry out some very important functions. One of the special cells are red blood cells‚ their functions‚ transporting oxygen from the lungs to the cells in the body. Red blood cells look like little discs. Red blood cells can change their shape‚ this ability allowing them to squeeze through capillaries without breaking. Our task is to Design and carry out an

that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a spectrum of colors called visible light. When visible light is absorbed it is also reflected‚ such as the green and yellow range. Photosynthetic pigments also protect plants from UV rays. Carotenoids absorb light in the blue range which gives them
