Investigating the Effect of Temperature on the Permeability of Membranes The permeability of membranes can be altered in several ways. From previous preliminary work I know that reagents‚ for example detergents and alcohol alter the arrangement of the phospholipids in the membrane allowing substances to leak out of the cell. Temperature also affects the membrane. As membranes relay on protein molecules to allow molecules to enter and leave the cell through facilitated diffusion the temperature must not exceed

Determining the habitat preference of Artemia franciscana by creating artificial gradients of three abiotic factors: light‚ pH‚ and temperature Introduction In the study of ecology‚ species are often described as generalists if they live in broad environmental conditions or specialists if they live in narrow or specific environmental conditions (Reece et al. 2011). Artemia franciscana‚ the organism under study‚ is a well known generalist that has adapted it’s reproductive strategy to allow

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

glucose to a solution of KMnO4 and H2SO4‚ the solution will turn colourless and it will take a specific time for the reaction to complete. By increasing the temperature‚ the time it takes (the rate) for the solution to completely change to colourless will be increased. Thus it can be said‚ that it is being hypothesized that an increase in temperature will cause an equal increase in the rate of the reaction. Method:1). Using a measuring cylinder‚ place 50 cm3 of sulphuric acid into a 250 cm3 beaker‚ add

Activity 1: Simple diffusion Introduction: Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient‚ simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is ’passive’‚ substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids. Materials and methods: * 20 mwco dialysis membrane * 50 mwco dialysis membrane * 100 mwco dialysis membrane * 200 mwco

Maryely Ramirez Professor Theresa Sterner Bio Lab 105 04 November 2013 The Effects Environmental Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is

in this lab was to determine the effects different conditions had on the enzyme cellobiase. We examined reaction rates in the presence or absence of an enzyme‚ the effects temperature and pH changes on the enzyme and the effects enzyme concentration and substrate concentration had on the enzyme. As expected results showed us that cellobiase works optimally when conditions are favorable. We see this when we have high substrate concentration‚ high enzyme concentration‚ with a 37oC temperature and at

Physics Lab Report Format General Remarks: Writing a lab report is the only way your TA will know what you have done during the lab and how well you have understood the process and the results. Part of your lab experience should be learning how to organize and present your work in a scientific way. There is no framework that can be used as a “one size fits all”‚ therefore this sample lab report should only be used as an example. Any lab report should have the following features:
