Biology Coursework ¡V Does The Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis The Investigation In this experiment I will investigate the affect in which the light intensity will have on a plants photosynthesis process. This will be done by measuring the bubbles of oxygen and having a bulb for the light intensity variable. Variables The input variable which will be used in this investigation will be the light intensity (this will be a 100Watt bulb being moved closer and further away from

The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the activity of enzymes‚ components that influence the enzyme’s activity‚ identify an unknown phosphatase‚ influence of inhibitors‚ and determine if inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive. A spectrophotometer evaluated the measurement of color change over a period time due to product being formed. Determining unknown phosphatase and effects from different inhibitors were determined by varying the pH and substrate concentrations. The unknown

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

The concept of socioeconomic status is a significant factor that can ultimately affect a student’s education. What is socioeconomic status? It is a status that is measured by many different variables such as gross assets‚ wealth and parent’s education backgrounds (Chapman and Ryan 2005). This is an extremely basic definition and leaves room for ambiguity‚ due to the fact it does not take other complicated variables into account such as mortgages‚ rent‚ home ownership‚ and other various financial

Cellular Biology furthers technology-Enzymes in the Dairy Industry Since ancient times‚ enzymes have played an important role in food production. Especially in the diary industry‚ some enzymes are required for the production of cheese‚ yogurt‚ and other dairy products‚ while others are used in a more specialized fashion such as improving texture or flavour of the product. Enzymes are used to catalyze the desirable reactions in industrial processes. Today‚ enzyme applications in such processing get

Glossary: 1) Interest rates: An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by borrowers to use the money they borrow from a lender. The annualized cost of credit or debt calculated as the percentage ratio of interest to the client. Each bank can determine its own interest rate on loans‚ but in practice local rates are about the same from bank to bank. In general‚ interest rates rise in periods of inflation‚ higher demand for credit‚ narrow money‚ or because of higher reserve requirements

potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered‚ can alter the procedure of the reaction‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and the concentration of either the enzyme or the substrates

Factors Affecting the rate of Hydrogen Peroxide degradation using Catalase Introduction An enzyme is a globular protein which functions as a catalyst that speeds up the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the reaction. An enzyme-catalyzed reaction occurs when a substance called the substrate binds onto the active site of the enzyme. This joining allows for a reduction in the activation energy and the reduction in activation energy helps the reaction to occur at a quicker rate. Enzyme

analysing the graph‚ you can see that there is a relation between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size
