Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

What are amylases? Amylases are enzymes that break down starch or glycogen. Amylases are produced by a variety of living organisms‚ ranging from bacteria to plants and humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their cells to carry out extracellular digestion. When they have broken down the insoluble starch‚ the soluble end products such as (glucose or maltose) are absorbed into their cells. Amylases are classified based on how they break down starch molecules i. α-amylase

INTRODUCTION OF ENZYMES Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body (David C. Dugdale‚ 2011). When we understand enzymes we understand cells (Marshall Brian‚ 2001). In many organisms most chemical reactions are catalyzed -when a substance speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction- by enzymes. Each enzyme controls a certain function that happens in a cell. Still each one has its own process and rate that it converts molecules. Studying enzymes shows how chemical

Assessment of Catalase Function Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab report was to test and measure the rate of substrate destruction by an enzyme‚ we tested the destruction of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by product of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. H2O2 + catalase → H2O + O2 A catalyst is a substance that lowers the

it fun‚ exhilarating‚ and decently scary you also have to think about the scientific principles. As these will all be defined by Oxford’s dictionary. One of the most common scientific principles is kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that an object possesses by virtue of being in motion. Kinetic energy increases as motion increases during the roller coaster ride. Potential energy is the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of particles in the

then taken to be stored at -20 ˚C for future use. Kinetics Measurements Absorbance values were measured at 400 using a Thermo Scientific Genesys 20 spectrophotometer. Measurements were taken at 23 ˚C. The kinetic samples were created in 2 mL microcentrifuge tubes using a two-fold serial dilution. The catechol concentration of the samples ranged from 8.00 mM to 0.065 mM. Eight uninhibited samples were prepared by mixing 10 μL of extracted enzyme
