different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass at 15.2% for 0% concentration. Overall‚ the higher the concentration of the solution

How Enzyme Concentration can Affect Rate of Reaction The purpose of this investigation was to see how the concentration of an enzyme affected the rate at which a substance was broken down. We did this by using a white protein called casein. Casein is found in milk powder‚ it is a protein and used mainly as a binding agent in foods‚ because it is mad to proteins and joins to a phosphoric acid it belong to a group called the phophoproteins. In terms of in milk it is said to be healthier if it is

The Effects of Varying pH on Enzyme Activity A lab was conducted to test different pH balances on an enzyme. Introduction: Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Enzymes are three-dimensional structures that consist of one or more polypeptide chains. The polypeptide chains form an active site (where a substrate will fit into). Enzyme molecules are folded into a very specific shape held together by the different forces of attraction

Title: The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction: 1. Eukaryotic cells are much more intricate than prokaryotic cells. The first thing observed is the assortment of structures in the cytoplasm. The fluid filled region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. These structures along with the nucleus are the organelles‚ each having a specific function in the cell. The organelles are by membranes divided in proficient sections .The plant cell is made up of a rigid thick wall

loss is primarily involved in neurodegeneration when in fact it seems that synaptic strength‚ or plasticity‚ is more vulnerable to the process of ageing (1). Biochemical and structural alterations of the synapse such as changes in lipid composition in certain areas of the brain are also thought to be associated with this deterioration (2‚ 3‚ 4). In this paper‚ the lipid of concern is the versatile phosphatidylinositol 4‚5-bisphosphate (PIP2)‚ which is important for signalling proteins‚ generation

Jennifer Anatomy and Physiology Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch. The enzyme that is being studied is amylase. This experiment is looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature the faster the hydrolysis of the starch would occur. The rationale behind this is that heat

EFFECT OF CONCENTRATION ON REACTION RATE The aim of this experiment is to find the effect of varying the concentration of iodide ions on the rate of reaction between hydrogen peroxide and an acidified solution of potassium iodide: H2O2(aq) + 2H+(aq) + 2I⁻ → 2H2O(l) + I2(aq) The course of this reaction can be followed by carrying it out in the presence of small quantities of starch and sodium thiosulfate solutions. As the iodine molecules are produced they immediately react with the thiosulfate

This lab is adapted from the canned denatured pineapple experiment. Instead of investigating the effect of canning on enzyme activity‚ we look for the presence of the substrate. This is a useful teaching lab for all the criteria and requires very few resources. Background Information: Gelatin is made from a protein called collagen which comes from the joints of animals. Gelatin may be dissolved in hot water. As the dissolved gelatin mixture cools‚ the collagen forms into a matrix that
