organisation is accurate and efficient and delivered in a timely and cost effective manner and that the human resource data is managed professionally. The behaviours describe in detail how a human resources professional needs to carry out their activities. Each behaviour is described at four bands of professional competence. There are eight behaviours which I have listed below:- 1. Curious – Is future focused‚ inquisitive and open minded; seeks out evolving and innovative ways to add value

BIOLOGY IA A Factor That Will Affect Enzyme Activity The Question Effects on Enzyme activity: investigating the effects of mixing Hydrogen Peroxide with Catalase extracted from potatoes at different temperatures‚ and then comparing the results with the same method‚ except to replace the Potato juice with MnO2 Hypothesis Since enzymes are a type of protein‚ they will be destroyed at high temperatures and activity rates will go down at low temperatures. Also‚ if done at low temperature

Lab on pH Levels Purpose: Throughout this experiment we are trying to learn how to take proper pH measurements using a pH meter. We also want to see the pH of different common liquids and record the change in pH when we add acids and alkaline liquids. The last reason we are conducting this experiment is to explain and show how fresh milk spoils by the change in pH. Materials: In this experiment we used graduated cylinders and glass beakers and added variety of ingredients including 50 mL of; soda

Distinction of pH levels of Orange Juice and Milk of Magnesia in comparison to Distilled Water Cooper‚ A.‚ Do‚ J.‚ Francois‚ F.‚ Olaleye‚ O. Lab Section LA: 06/20/2012 Introduction pH is the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a certain solution. Solutions or substances that have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions are considered acidic on the pH scale. Therefore‚ a solution with low concentration of hydrogen ions is basic on the pH scale. The pH scale is a universal means

Investigation: Factors that affect the outcome of enzyme activity Introduction In this project I will monitor the rate of activity of Catalase. Catalase is an Enzyme which in the right conditions catalyses the decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen; 2H2O2 + Catalase >>> 2H2O + O2 Catalase is found in all cells and protects them from Hydrogen Peroxide which is a dangerous waste product that needs to be eliminated. Without Catalase living things could not survive. What are Enzymes

Biology Coursework: Preliminary Work 8/12/2013 Intro I am going to investigate a factor that affects the rate of enzyme activity What are enzymes and how do they work? Enzymes are biological catalysts - catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up. Enzymes are also proteins and thus have a specific shape. They are therefore specific in the reactions that they catalyse - one enzyme will react with molecules

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions‚ without being used up or changed. Catalase is a globular protein molecule that is found in all living cells. A globular protein is a protein with its molecules curled up into a ’ball’ shape. All enzymes have an active site. This is where another molecule(s) can bind with the enzyme. This molecule is known as the substrate. When the substrate binds with the enzyme‚ a product is produced. Enzymes are specific to their

The Effect of Biological and Nonbiological Material on the Reaction to a Changing pH Level This experiment was conducted to learn exactly how biological material responds to rising or dropping pH levels in comparison to how nonbiological material does. The dependent variable in this experiment was how the different materials react‚ and the independent variable was the type of material‚ biological or nonbiological. Tap water was the selected nonbiological material‚ and the generally known pH level

pH indicators‚ in chemistry‚ are usually a weak acid or base that are naturally occurring in various plants and flowers and can act as dyes. Some examples of indicators are Litmus (Comes from a plant species called a lichen)‚ Phenolphthalein‚ Thymol blue‚ Bromocresol green and Universal indicator. All these indicators have a certain turning point in color once a certain concentration equilibrium of Hydrogen cations in reached (H +) or a certain concentration equilibrium of H3O+(Also OH - using Arrhenius
