catalase in their cells. Catalase Foam Thickness 50 μl of each tissue extract was added to the cut up tissues‚ 1 mL of water was added to it and each placed into a separate test tube. After setting up the test tubes‚ 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide was added to each tube of extract. The thickness of the foam layer that was created in each tube was measured in millimeters. The effect of Temperature on Catalase The effect temperature had on the action of each catalase. In the liver cells‚ the hypothesis

The purpose of this lab was to hypothesize about membrane traffic in lab‚ explain the differences between the solutions hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic and how they respond using the understanding of the cell membrane structure‚ types of transport mechanisms such as active‚ passive‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and explain the movement of particles moving across the cell membrane. In this lab was divided into two parts. The first part was varying the concentration and the second part was varying the temperature

Estimating Osmolarity of Plant Cells Criteria Assessed: DCP Introduction In this experiment you will be estimating the osmolarity of potato cells by finding their change in weight in solutions of known molarity. The object is to find the molarity where the mass does not change. No net change in weight indicates that there has been no net gain or loss of water. This is a means of indirectly finding the osmolarity of the cells themselves. Apparatus 1 large potato Petri dish 7 x 250 ml beakers

of basic units of matter called atoms. When atoms are bonded together they make up a molecule. Often associated with nonliving things are inorganic molecules‚ and associated with organisms are biomolecules. Today in lab‚ a series of tests were ran. Tested were the biomolecules of cells which are lipids‚ sugars‚ proteins and starch. The purpose of these tests were to test for the presences of cellular biomolecules. Some of the things that fat consist of are one glycerol and three fatty acids. Proteins

Ans: The signs and symptoms the young graduate student presented‚ show evidence of Lyme disease. 2. What is the environmental pathway for the vector of this disease? Ans: The environmental pathway for the vector of this disease would be a forested habitat. The black-legged tick or the deer tick is the principle vector of this disease (Lyme

leaves prevent the large loss of water from leaf due to transpiration. For the lab‚ I observed six leaves collected from six different plants growing sporadically around the school campus. Using clear tape‚ sticking it to the bottom of each leaf‚ applying pressure‚ and carefully peeling the tape off for an imprint of the leaf. I stuck the tape onto a glass slide and placed it under the microscope and observed the cells. Adjusting the magnification down 1000x‚ it is noticeable that the stomata were

Effects of pH on the Function of Enzymes Rena Mototani Glen Rock High School Advanced Biology 2014-2015 Effects of pH on the Function of Catalase Rena Mototani Problem: How does the pH of a cell affect the function of the enzyme catalase? Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The

the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia oleracea (Spinach)‚ Brassica oleracea (Broccoli)‚ Solanum tuberosum (Russet Potato)‚ Malus domestica (Apple)
