Kinesiology 303 Lab Vertical and Horizontal Power Lab Write up Introduction: Running and jumping competitions have taken place for centuries‚ dating as far back as the first Olympian games. These physical competitions measured individual’s prowess‚ but also competing for power to rule or show their masculinity. Today‚ in modern times‚ this is synonymous to individuals who are judged on their highest jump and fastest 40-yard dash time as part of the National Football League draft‚ which combine

Biofuel Enzyme Kit Katie Adamson Biochemistry Laboratory‚ BIO124L 1/29/15 Abstract The objective 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

Ah Seung Chong Molecular Biology CTW: Enzyme Kinetic Dr. Cruz 07/22/2010 Enzyme kinetics Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants‚ without enzyme many of important processes of life could not happen. Most of enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions by lowering amount of activation energy needed for the reaction1. Enzymes are usually highly selective‚ only bind to specific substrate and convert it to product at a particular rate1. The rate of the reaction

Lab Report Enzymes (must be typed) Name: Amanda Gallegos Date: 2/15/15 Section: BIOL 101GL What is the Hypothesis of this experiment? (3 points) -The highest temperature will affect the reaction rate of enzymes. What is the dependent variable? (1 point) -Change of rate/product/color/absorbency. What is the independent variable? (1 pt) -The temperature. Explain in detail the procedure that you followed (including amount of substrate‚ enzyme etc‚ and the whole procedure including incubation times)

The purpose of the experiment was to find out how temperature affects the enzymes activity. For example‚ in Humans if the temperature is too high‚ the individual’s brain enzymes can denature and cause life threatening problems. The opposite can occur as well‚ if the temperature is too low‚ hypothermia can occur and it can be dangerous (Wilson‚ 1996). In the experiment optimal conditions for fungal and bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature

Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

Materials: G;lucose Test Strips Test Tubes Pipettes Raw Hamburg Lettuce Potato Raw Liver Chalk Beakers Dairy Lactose Tablet Water Sugar Solo Cups Hot Plate Knife Gloves Skim Milk Glow Sticks Peroxide Hypothesis: 1. If we change the environment via temperature the glow stick will Its intensity will change 2. If hydrogen peroxide is added to a certain food liver

“too acidic to justify the worth of drinking every morning for the miniscule amounts of vitamin C it contains” (Dr. Kenny and Henderson). It has been found that orange juice‚ while it does contain vitamin C‚ does not contain enough vitamin C to live up to the “super food” standard that was set for it in the past. Instead of assisting one’s immune system‚ it has now been discovered that due to the naturally high acidity of orange juice‚ they actually are detrimental to ones health. Drinking orange

Enzymes INTRODUCTION Enzymes are protein cells and they are found in the gut. They help to break down the food you eat. Enzymes are produced by living cells and they speed up reactions because they are biological catalysts. If we did not have enzymes‚ the reactions in our cells would be too slow to keep us alive. This means that they are extremely important for our survival. The properties of enzymes are: ⋆ They can be used many times‚ because they can speed up reactions without

of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Abstract Does more or less concentration speed up the reaction rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva of most animals and in humans. Amylase hydrolyzes starch‚ a plant’s
