Preparation and Assay of Phenolase and Peroxidase from Sweet and Irish Potato Hypothesis: Polyphenol Oxidase enzyme activity can be detected by change in colour of solution‚ Inhibitors prevent the reaction of the enzymes with substrates‚ the enzyme is relatively specific. Aim: To design and conduct an experiment to demonstrate enzyme activity of Polyphenol Oxidase and Peroxidase when mixed with catechol‚ caffeic acid‚ pyrogallad‚ tyrosine‚ guacol‚ and water‚ to test the effect of inhibitors on these enzymes

The problem that we are solving is “How does the temperature outside affect the speed and heart rate of the runner?” We chose this to investigate “How does the temperature outside affect the speed and heart rate of the runner?” because we both play sports that require lots of running (Track and Field and Soccer.) Therefore‚ when running track outdoors the weather at the beginning of the meet may be colder‚ than the end when it’s most likely hotter. As well as a soccer tournament‚ you may play a tournament

When a beetroot cell is exposed to various kinds of temperatures‚ its plasma membrane is affected and may change in structure resulting in the leaking of betacyanin. If the temperature changes‚ then I would expect to observe that there would be a change in the concentration of betacyanin that has leaked from a beetroot cell. In specific‚ at high temperatures‚ the phospholipids that make up the plasma membrane of the beet root cell become progressively more destabilized causing them to transform into

2. How is the colour related to surface temperature of the star? The correlation between the surface temperature of a star and its colour is due to the phenomena known as black body radiation .A star is a black body‚where it aborbs all the radiation falling upon it.AS its temperatures gets hotter thanits surrounding‚the star radiates its on electromagnetic radiation‚known as black body radiation. This radiation is distributed unevenly but contionously through multiple wavelengths of the electromagnetic

80° W‚ 70° W‚ 30° E‚ 120° E and 150° E. The deciduous is known for their changes of color and the amount of leaves falling annually. This occurs because these forests are exposed to cold and warm air‚ which makes them encounter all four seasons. Temperatures in the deciduous are estimated to be up to 50°. They also have precipitation of 30 to 60 inches a year. One of the traits these trees have is thick bark that protects them from cold or really hot weather. Deciduous forests can be found everywhere

For example‚ your body does things to maintain constant blood sugar levels and body temperature. 1. What are some things you do to stay cool on a hot day? Some things I do to stay cool is to drink water‚ wear less clothes and turn the fan/ air conditioner on at the location I am at. 2. What can you do to warm up on a cold day? On a cold

Can tegu lizards maintain an elevated body temperature during their reproductive season? Experiment: Dr. Glenn Tattersall and a team of researchers in Rio Claro‚ Brazil studied changes in the heart rate and body temperature of tegu lizards (Salvator merianae)‚ by implanting lizards bred in captivity with specialized electronic chips. One group of lizard lived in an entirely outdoor environment for one year. Three other groups that were subjected to alternating indoor and outdoor environments over

Examples of extreme environments on Earth are hot geysers and oceanic thermal vents‚ Antarctic sea ice‚ and oxygen-depleted rivers and lakes. Organisms that have evolved special adaptations that permit them to live in extreme conditions are called "extremophiles."
