Enzymes Introduction This study allows the investigation of enzymatic reactions behavior. An enzyme is a protein catalyst reaction by lowering the activation energy required for that reaction. The enzyme is unaltered at the completion of the reaction. In this stimulation the amount of product produced during the course of an enzymatic product produced during the course of an enzymatic reaction will be measured. Hypothesis 1: What is the estimate optimal of ph? Hypothesis 2: What is the estimate optimal of temperature

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Lab Report Microbiology Introduction Bacteria can be found almost anywhere. For human life‚ some help us‚ some hurt us‚ and others are neutral. It is now known that good bacteria‚ or normal microflora‚ can reach 1014 microbial cells. This is far more than the 1013 cells that make up the human body (Tannock‚ 1995). The total number of bacteria on Earth is estimated to be around 4-6 x 1030 (Horner-Devine‚ 2004). It is important to know the extent of bacteria‚ how they live‚ and how they are

Genetics of Drosophila Lab Report: The test of heredity in fruit flies In my testings with breeding the fruit flies‚ I learned that the purpose of breeding them was to test how genetics pass from generation to generation‚ also known as heredity. We attempted to breed the flies and get them as close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio as possible. This would lead to an acceptable trait ratio. My hypothesis was that if we were to breed the flies in a stable environment‚ the most common fly (or the fly with the highest

1. Introduction Microscopy is an essential technique not only in cell biology but natural science as a whole. We compared different types of microscopic techniques ‚ according to the specimen used and the scope of the experiment. Two specimens‚ stained and unstained‚ containing CHO cells‚ were prepared‚ examined and analyzed under the microscope using bright field (HF)‚ dark field (DF) and phase contrast (PH) settings. In addition‚ the four phases of cell division cycle were estimated.. Bright

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to calculate and determine the optimal dosage of ultraviolet (UV) light to expose Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) to that would result in a survival rate of 20-40%. Saccharomyces cerevisiae commonly referred to as baker’s yeast is a single-celled eukaryote. Yeast is capable of growing as either a haploid or a diploid cell. The diploid cell can reproduce mitotically or sporulate‚ a process initiating meiosis and forming an ascus with four spores (Sacchromyces

Depending on what stressors there are the cellular membrane can become damaged. The objective of this experiment was to examine the struc

Lactase is an enzyme that splits up the disaccharide lactose into monosaccharides glucose and galactose‚ but its function diminishes with age resulting in a wide use of lactase supplements. This enzyme functions under specific conditions‚ so we investigated the effect different salt concentrations have on the enzyme activity. Serial dilutions were performed to prepare a lactase solution as well as twenty percent‚ fifteen percent‚ and five percent concentrations of NaCl. Three different treatments

For this lab‚ the expected outcomes are that when the heart rate and blood pressure are measured‚ both will increase when the heart has to pump against gravity‚ after exercise the heart rate will increase then return to normal‚ and as the subject inhales‚ it will be lower than when they exhale. Methods For this lab report‚ the laboratory manual (2009) was used for all labs. While completing lab five‚ electrodes were hooked up to the subject. After calibration for this lab‚

INTRODUCTION: An enzyme is a substance that in most situations‚ is a catalyst‚ which increases the rate of reaction by contributing alternative reaction pathways of lower activation energy. Enzymes are able to do this by binding to reactant molecules and allowing them to cooperate in a more energy efficient way. If catalyzed by the appropriate enzyme‚ reactions that would take an extreme amount of time would rather occur in fractions of a second. First‚ enzymes increase the rate at which chemical
