Introduction: The question investigated in this lab was which drugs have the greatest and least affect on the pulse of the Lumbriculus variegates. Ethanol will cause the worms to become inactive‚ caffeine will cause the worms to become overactive‚ and nicotine will cause the worms to become more active. Lumbriculus variegatus is also known as black worm. This small species of worms currently lives in North America and Europe within marshes and ponds. They survive by eating microorganisms and organic

Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚ pectase and cellulase will

AP Lab #5 Plant Pigments/Photosynthesis I. Identifying the Effects of Different Variables of Light and Carbon Dioxide on the Rate of Photosynthesis and Observing the Separation of Pigments Through Chromatography II. Introduction Plants have a variety of pigments‚ all of which absorb a different color of light. The three main pigments are chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and carotenoids. Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment that absorbs red and blue light‚ which ultimately appears green to the human eye

Biology 20 IB Design Lab Does increasing or decreasing the ph level of a 3% concentration H2O2 (l) solution affect the amount of oxygen released between 15.0ml of the solution and a 5g sample of liver? The reaction is measured by the difference in mass of a balloon that is used to capture the amount of gas released by the catalase enzyme found in liver reacting with a basified 3% H2O2 (l) and an acidified 3% H2O2 (l) . Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact and the molecules

the material that is being broken down. In this case‚ the substrate would be hydrogen peroxide. The catalase‚ located in the liver‚ is being used to break down the substrate. Problem The purpose of this lab is to see if the enzyme‚ catalase‚ can be manipulated. We are testing the effects of pH‚ temperature and enzyme concentration. Hypothesis Controlled When we add peroxide to the liver it will bubble a lot and break down faster. When we add peroxide to the liver it will not bubble a

Irresistible? By Elizabeth Potter December 5‚ 2012 Lab Section 503 Abstract The over all goal of the Irresistible lab was to verify a buffer’s ability to resist changes in pH with consecutive 1mL additions of either a strong acid (HCl) or base (NaOH). The experiment entailed preparing a combination 10 buffered and non-buffered solutions and then monitoring the pH changes as a strong acid or base was added to the solution. By performing this experiment‚ it was found that with increasing amounts

Abstract The purpose of this lab was to test if ethanol affects the reaction involving hydrogen peroxide and catalase. Tests were performed by putting chicken liver‚ ethanol solution (diluted ethanol solution for other trials) and hydrogen peroxide in a test tube with a side arm‚ and having a rubber tube lead the oxygen gas into a gas collection tube. Results from the tests showed a negative correlation‚ this means that the more diluted the solution of 95% ethanol was‚ the less oxygen gas collected

planting them in dry ground due to the risk of the moisture being taken out of the seeds instead of sticking with it to germinate‚ leaving the seed back to its original state. purpose - There are many factors that affect germination‚ however this lab will determine how moisture‚ specifically presoaking seeds will affect germination. To achieve the purpose of the experiment‚ one group of seeds will presoak for a required amount of time‚ for example‚ fifteen minutes to half an hour‚
