13 THE MEMBRANES OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLS ARE INVOLVED IN MANY DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS – 25 MARKS Membranes are found in all organisms‚ around and within cells. They control the movements in and out of cells‚ as well as protecting cells. They also allow different functions to occur. They have the same basic structure called the plasma membrane. All plasma membranes‚ around or inside cells have a same phospholipid bilayer structure. Phospholipids contribute to the flexibility of membranes and transfer

Amylopectin The absorbance value(x) read from cuvette containing starch and water represents the total amount of starch-iodine complex. The absorbance value(y) read from cuvette containing starch‚ water and α-amylase at the respective temperature or pH represents the amount of starch-iodine complex which is left after the enzyme has hydrolyzed the starch.In order to get the amount of product;P (maltose and glucose) formed‚ need to subtract the (y) value from the (x) value.

Computer Simulation of Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Passive Processes and Active Processes Introduction In this lab we will establish a difference between the two types of cell transport mechanisms and their permeability. The first type of cell transport is passive processes which are driven by concentration or pressure differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to measure the effects of changes in temperatures and pH on enzyme activity in skeletal muscle‚ particularly the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). LDH is a glycolytic enzyme which converts pyruvate to lactate in the following equation: LDH Pyruvate+ NADH ------------ Lactate + NAD The reaction above can move in both directions‚

Heat and Temperature Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same‚ but they are not.” Heat and Temperature‚ para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place
Premium Energy Temperature Thermodynamics
Abstract This experiment was designed to answer the question does temperature affect the amount of osmosis? The hypothesis predicted was that the higher the temperature the more osmosis would occur‚ but too high the osmosis would halt due to enzyme and substrate overheating and losing shape. After research and class time it was concluded that osmosis is a passive transport and would not require energy or enzymes due to it going from high to low concentrations with the gradient

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

Bacterial Energetics and Membranes Abstract The Mg2+/Ca2+ ATP synthase present in all bacterial membranes‚ particularly E. coli‚ couples ATP synthesis to the proton (H+) gradient produced by the ETC‚ a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. The gradient acts to power the ATPase‚ so that it may phosphorylate ADP to produce ATP. The reverse reaction of this process‚ or hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and Pi‚ may be used to observe ATPase activity when the resulting Pi is quantitatively measured

Investigation Into Temperature Sensors Introduction In this project I will be investigating how it is possible to use a temperature sensor to keep a greenhouse from changing temperature too much. This is intended to help plants live and grow in their optimum temperature. This will create a perfect temperature for the enzymes in the plants to work in‚ and therefore resulting in a maximum growth/production rate. This could be useful for gardeners who wish to grow plants as quickly as possible
