The plasma membrane is a fluid phospholipid bilayer. The outside of the bilayer is hydrophilic portions of porteins and phospholipids because they are exposed to water. This results in a stable membrane structure. Inside the bilayer hydrophobic portions of proteins and phospholipids because the inside of the bilayer is nonaqueous. the proteins bob in the fluid bilayer of phospholipids. The proteins also vary in structure and function. There are teh integral proteins; transmembrane

Lab Report (Effect of concentration on enzyme activity) Biology Noor Alawadhi 11- KC Introduction: An Enzyme is a protein‚ which is capable of starting a chemical reaction‚ which involves the formation or breakage of chemical bonds. A substrate is the surface or material on or from which an organism lives‚ grows‚ or obtains its nourishment. In this case it is hydrogen peroxide. This lab report will be explaining the experiment held to understand the effects of the changes in the amount of

of the cell membrane with the correct terms integral proteins‚ channel proteins and bilipid construction. Your last paragraph was very detailed with great information about the cell membrane‚ you stated “ The cell membrane is very thin and fragile‚ and it contains two different types of proteins. “Integral proteins are part of the membrane structure and cannot be removed without damaging or destroying the membrane. Peripheral proteins are bound to the inner or outer surface of the membrane and are

liquid permeability of porous media. The apparatus used in the experiment is the liquid permeameter. The liquid used in this experiment is water. Three membrane samples of different thickness (0.1‚ 0.2‚ 0.3 cm) are used as the porous media. The determination of the permeability is carried out using elevated pressure test. Each sample is tested for 5 times at different values of pressure gradient which are 5‚ 10‚ 15‚ 20 and 30 psi. In order to obtain more accurate data‚ ensure that the membrane samples

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

The purpose of this entire experiment was to find a way to help slow or even stop the spreading of oil. The substances that were used were Dish soap‚ Laundry detergent‚ and Kosher salt. After test the three‚ laundry detergent seemed to stop the oil the most. The oil took over 5 minutes to get through the detergent. The oil took 8.8 seconds to get through the soap. The oil took 16.8 seconds to get through the salt. The first step is to gather all the supplies needed for the experiment. The next

Chemicals in Food Chemicals are added to food for (i) their preservation‚ (ii) enhancing their appeal‚ and (iii) adding nutritive value in them. Main categories of food additives are as follows: (i) Food colours (ii) Flavours and sweeteners (iii) Fat emulsifiers and stabilising agents (iv) Flour improvers – antistaling agents and bleaches (v) Antioxidants (vi) Preservatives (vii) Nutritional supplements such as minerals‚ vitamins and amino acids. Except for chemicals of category (vii)‚ none

The Effect Of Enzyme Concentration On Enzyme Activity The pancreatic duct in individuals who have cystic fibrosis frequently becomes blocked‚ reducing or preventing the release of pancreatic enzymes into the small intestine. The aim of this activity is to investigate the effect of a reduction in enzyme concentration on the rate of reaction‚ in this case the breakdown of protein by protease enzymes. Aim – Milk powder contains a white protein called casein. A white suspension of

Cell phones are making the lives of an estimated two hundred sixty five million Americans (Natterson 103) and three billion worldwide (Natterson 103)‚ easier. As useful as cell phones may be‚ there are negative effects in over using cell phones. Cell phone technology was first developed in the 1980’s‚ but cell phones became common

EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE The aim of this experiment is to find the effect of varying the concentration of iodide ions on the rate of reaction between hydrogen peroxide and an acidified solution of potassium iodide: H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2I⁻ → 2H2O(l) + I2(aq) The course of this reaction can be followed by carrying it out in the presence of small quantities of starch and sodium thiosulfate solutions. As the iodine molecules are produced they immediately react with the thiosulfate
