THE TUBBATAHA REEF The name ’Tubbataha’ is a Samal word for "long reef exposed at low tide". Samals are seafaring people of the Sulu Sea. Cagayanen people who are more geographically associated with Tubbataha Reefs referred the Park as ’gusong’. Location Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park (TRNP) lies in the middle of the Sulu Sea and falls under the political jurisdiction of Cagayancillo‚ an island municipality situated 130km to the north. The park is around 150km southeast of Puerto Princesa City -

The relatively close pH levels of Tap Water‚ Spring Water‚ Flavored Water‚ and Seltzer Water. Introduction This experiment was performed to investigate the following hypothesis: The following four different types of drinking water (spring water‚ seltzer water‚ tap water‚ and flavored water) we test will relatively have the same pH level. Our group decided to test different types of drinking water to see if a pH level of tap water is comparable to other types of water. Many people believe

A radiochemical enzyme assay for studying cyclooxygenase (COX)-catalyzed prostaglandin biosynthesis in vitro was optimized with respect to both COX-1 and COX-2 activity. The assay can be used to assess the relative selectivity of plant-derived inhibitors on COX-1 and COX-2. Assay conditions were optimized for both enzymes with respect to concentration of cofactors (l-epinephrine‚ reduced glutathione‚ and hematin)‚ activation time (enzyme and cofactors)‚ reaction time‚ and pH. Moreover‚ the kinetic

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

Effects of Changes in Physical Properties on Enzyme Activity By Alex Hoffmann First Individual Lab Report Wednesday 7:30-10:15pm 10/24/12 Meghan Duell Abstract The goal of this lab was to determine the effects of certain physical properties on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the height of the bubbles that appeared after the enzyme was added which are proportional to the rate of the reaction when time is constant. The fact that enzyme activity is affected by physical properties

FIRE RESISTANT BALLOON: Materials - 1 matchbox - 1 candle - 1 yellow colored balloon - 1 blue colored balloon - Half a cup of water Procedure: 1. For this experiment‚ the independent variable is whether the balloon is filled with water or not. The dependent variable is what happens to the balloon when it is placed above the lit candle. This is determined by observing the balloon. The constants (control variables) are how much the balloon is inflated and the amount

living organism depend on catalytic proteins called enzymes‚ these compound are responsible for metabolism and biochemical regulation of energy‚ there are millions of enzymes and hundreds of enzymes have been identified in the human body as well. All living system possess enzymes as vital components of the body‚ enzymes are found in all organisms. Everyone has a natural pH balance in the body. Enzymes are complex proteins which speed up chemical reactions if this did not happen it would occur to slowly

Distinction of pH levels of Orange Juice and Milk of Magnesia in comparison to Distilled Water Cooper‚ A.‚ Do‚ J.‚ Francois‚ F.‚ Olaleye‚ O. Lab Section LA: 06/20/2012 Introduction pH is the measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a certain solution. Solutions or substances that have a higher concentration of hydrogen ions are considered acidic on the pH scale. Therefore‚ a solution with low concentration of hydrogen ions is basic on the pH scale. The pH scale is a universal means
