Practical 2.1- The Effect of Temperature on Membranes Objective To investigate the effect of temperature on membrane structure Introduction Beetroot Pigments Beetroots contain Betalains which are the red pigments present in the cell vacuole. Betalains are soluble in water and they contain nitrogen. Betalains extracted from beetroot is commonly used as food dye because it is not known to cause any allergic reactions.

Enzymatic activities of bioactive washing powder Title: Investigation of the amalyse activity f bioactive washing powder Objective: To investigate the amalyse activity of the two brands of bioactive washing powder – “Super clean” and “Magic power”. Principal: Amalyse can catalyse the breakdown of starch into maltose. In this practical‚ solutions of the 2 washing powders will be filled into 2 identical wells on the starch agar plate separately. Starch will be broken down by the amylase disused

Biology “Enzyme Activities” Introduction: Enzymes have extremely interesting properties that make them little chemical-reaction machines. The purpose of an enzyme in a cell is to allow the cell to carry out chemical reactions very quickly. These reactions allow the cell to build things or take things apart as needed. This is how a cell grows and reproduces. At the most basic level‚ a cell is really a little bag full of chemical reactions that are made possible by enzymes (Brain). Laboratory

Communicative activities were introduced as the one which brings the language to life by providing a REAL BASIS for speaking‚ and the interactive EXCHANGE of ideas‚ opinions‚ and feelings with another person. It can be seen as an effective method in teaching and learning English. English language learners get beneficial effect from them. With communicative activities‚ learners are

Enzyme Activators and Inhibitors Lucia House AP Biology‚ Block 4 Mr. Trice October 18‚ 2012 Introduction: Metabolism is the totality of all of an organism’s chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur due to enzymes‚ a substance which acts as a catalyst in driving chemical reactions in order to produce a desired product (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). A catalyst is usually a protein; however‚ some catalytic molecules counter this generalization. A discovery made in the early nineteen- nineties

error‚ he developed a process he called Appertizing. Fruits‚ vegetables‚ fish‚ or meat was sealed in stoppered bottles and the filled bottles were immersed in boiling water; the heat sterilized the bottles and food alike. Appert knew nothing of enzymes or bacteria‚ nor did anyone else in his day. He did observe that when food was heated in the sealed bottles‚ the food remained good as long as the seal was not broken. The food remained edible until the bottles were opened. The process won him

The Effect of Temperature on Solubility By Aviraj Singh Rogers 2 Background: The solubility of most solid substances is generally said to increase as the temperature of the solvent increases. However‚ some substances‚ such as ytterbium sulfate‚ do the opposite. This can be explained through the Second Law of Thermodynamics which states that “in all energy exchanges‚ if no energy enters or leaves the system‚ the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state”

Enzymes are naturally occurring biological catalysts that are extremely efficient and specific. Enzymes accelerate the rate of a reaction by factors of at least a million as compared to the same reaction without the enzyme. Most biological reaction rates are not perceivable in the absence of the enzyme. The term enzyme was first used by a German pshysiologist Wilhelm Kühne in 1897. There are over 700 different kinds of enzymes that have been identified. Enzymes can be classified into several categories

Background Information Part 1 In the first part of the enzyme lab‚ we mixed a substrate and an indicator with an enzyme. There was also a neutral buffer in each of the chemical mixtures. The neutral buffer regulated the pH to around 7. We got a color palette and once we mixed each together‚ we observed and saw a change in the color of the substance. The darker and more brown the substance got‚ the more oxygen produced by the reaction. Our results showed that amount of oxygen produced increased
