Is salt really that bad? Sodium is an essential electrolyte found in salt. Sodium is a mineral that carries out vital functions for the body some of which include maintaining fluid balance‚ regulating blood volumes‚ nerve transmissions and hydration. Sodium is important in ensuring healthy heart functions and muscle contractions. Some individuals have a higher need for sodium as it can be depleted through exercise (via sweat). If sodium levels are lower than recommended it needs to be replaced

Every winter road salt is used on sidewalks‚ roads‚ and highways to melt snow and ice. These are to prevent human activates from turning into accidents. When the snow melts the road salt gets dissolved into the melted ice and snow and becomes a formula. This formula sinks into the land (soil mostly) and kills vegetation. The purpose for this exit project experiment is to find out what are the affects of road salt on plants. The reason for doing this lab is to find out what a

College General Biology I Enzymes‚ test for effect of pH on catalase activity Purpose The main purpose of this experiment was to learn about enzymes and how to test for the effect of pH on catalase activity and to be able to tell if a reaction is an exergonic or endergonic process. Introduction Enzymes are made from amino acids‚ which are made from proteins. In order to make an enzyme‚ hundreds of amino acids are strung together in a very specific and unique order and eventually is folded

Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? Why? 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose? 3. What effect did boiling have on enzyme activity? Why? 4. Describe the substrate and the subunit product of amylase. The following questions refer to Activity 2: Assessing Cellulose Digestion. 5. Does amylase use

Effect of Temperature ( C ͦ) on Enzyme Catalase Activity in potato Aim: To investigate the Effect of temperature (10‚ 37‚ 60) Celsius (C ͦ) on enzyme catalase activity in potato using 2% of hydrogen peroxide (H202) as the substrate measuring the height (cm) of oxygen gas (bubbles) and calculating the volume of oxygen bubbles produced (cm3) Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up metabolic reactions without being affected. They lower the activation energy needed to start

Osmosis Lab: Potatoes and Elodea Background Information: Cells have a need to regulate their internal environment. They need to be able to this because cells often find themselves in environments where the concentration of dissolved solids outside the cell is different from the number of dissolved solids inside the cell. Since the solids can not move across the membrane‚ the cell responds by moving water either into or out of the cell in an attempt to balance the number dissolved particles.

Salt is made up of 40 percent sodium and 60 percent of chloride‚ is a very important part of daily lives as it helps maintain your blood’s water content‚ balances acids and bases in your blood‚ and it helps in the movement of electrical charges which are in your nerves throughout your muscles. A human being should consume about 2400 mg of salt daily. On average‚ humans tend to go over the recommended amount. The food industry adds 75 percent of the sodium that we humans consume. The following additives
