Tori Suchy Physical Science Honors 1st block October 4‚ 2012 Balloon Powered Car Problem: In order to create a race car that can travel a minimum of eight meters powered by a nine inch balloon. We need incorporate Newton ’s Law of Motion including speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. Hypothesis: If a car were to be made out of homemade materials‚ then it would be possible for it to travel 8 meters powered by a nine inch balloon. Independent Variable: building the car from homemade materials

Meal Worm Cellular Respiration Experiment Introduction Cellular respiration provides energy to all living organisms by collecting energy from food molecules. The cell then rearranges complex molecules to simpler molecules and uses that energy to make a molecule that stores energy called adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. Cellular respiration can occur with or without oxygen. When it occurs without oxygen‚ it is called anaerobic respiration. There are very few organisms that can get

Pixar Facts 1.) In order to give Dash a realistic out-of-breath voice in "The Incredibles‚" director Brad Bird made actor Spencer Fox run laps around the studio.4 2.) Every Friday during the production of “Brave‚” each Pixar employee was told to wear a kilt for the fun of it. 3.) Shortly after completing Toy Story‚ the Pixar chief creative staff of John Lasseter‚ Peter Docter‚ Joe Ranft and Andrew Stanton got together for a lunch meeting at the Hidden City Café in 1994 that would become one of

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Part 2: Safe work with large inductances 1. One of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of

Experiment 4: Qualitative Analysis of Cations and Precipitation Reactions The overall goal of experiment four was to determine the identity of unknown cations presented to the student. But in order to know the identity of these unknowns‚ in part 1‚ Ag+‚ Pb+‚ and Hg22+ were presented to the student in aqueous solutions and then precipitated through experimentation. In part 2‚ the same procedure was enacted to determine which substances precipitated through qualitative analysis. Solubility rules

the acyl-enzyme is then hydrolysed by nucleophilic attack of serine on the peptide carbonyl group‚ collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate and the release of the amine component. Histidine 57 then acts as a general acid catalyst and draws a proton away from the water molecule. The OH- ion then attacks the carbonyl carbon atom of the acyl group which forms another tetrahedral intermediate which breaks down to form the carboxylic acid product. The release of this acid then frees up the enzyme to continue

William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary

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

Unknown Lab Report April 25th‚ 2006 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria cultures using various differential tests. The identification of these unknown cultures was accomplished by separating and differentiating possible bacteria based on specific biochemical characteristics. Whether the tests performed identified specific enzymatic reactions or metabolic pathways‚ each was used in a way to help recognize those specifics and identify the unknown cultures
