with age resulting in a wide use of lactase supplements. This enzyme functions under specific conditions‚ so we investigated the effect different salt concentrations have on the enzyme activity. Serial dilutions were performed to prepare a lactase solution as well as twenty percent‚ fifteen percent‚ and five percent concentrations of NaCl. Three different treatments of ortho-nitro-phenyl-galactoside‚ lactase‚ and perspective salt concentrations were prepared in cuvettes where the reaction would be

same density. Density also does depend on temperature. For instance cold water is denser than warm water; ice is less dense than both. The method used for determining the density of a substance depends on the nature of the substance. In this lab the densities of unknown irregularly shaped solids and liquids was determined. Accuracy and precision of the results will be estimated‚ and attention will be paid to the correct use of the significant figures. The experiment approach that will be

samples obtained from another 10-mice/exposure group were available for determination of each of the 11 clinical chemistry parameters. Necropsy was performed on all treated and control animals. Selected organ were excised‚ rinsed in a chilled saline solution‚ then blotted on filter paper and weighed separately to calculate relative organ weight. Then selected organ were fixed and preserved in Bouin’s fluid‚ a quantitative mixture of picric acid‚ formalin and acetic acid for histopathological and molecular

Maryely Ramirez Professor Theresa Sterner Bio Lab 105 04 November 2013 The Effects Environmental Temperature and pH have on the Activity of Porcine Pancreatic Amylase Introduction There are many types of enzymes and each has a specific job. Enzymes are particular types of proteins that help to speed up some reactions‚ such as reactants going to products. One of them is the amylase enzyme. Amylases are found in saliva‚ and pancreatic secretions of the small intestine. The function of amylase is

Effects of SO2 On Fermentation Rates Purpose SO2 is the primary inhibitor for natural microbiological growth in wine. It prevents the browning of juice by inhibiting phenol oxidase activity and kills the natural yeast cells for the utilization of fermentation-controlled commercial Saccharomyce strands (Boulton et al. 1996). SO2 is pH and temperature dependent and can exist as several forms. The bisulfate form (HSO3-) can complex with soluble solids such as anthocyanins and acetaldehydes to become

Introduction During the course of this lab‚ we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel‚ 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the

Planarian Lab Report Hanna Klein Bishop Fenwick High School Planarian Lab Report Introduction Planarian worms are free-living flatworms that are not parasitic. Planarians have a three-cavity digestive system. Planarians are usually either carnivorous or scavengers. Planarians may eat other living‚ as well as dead‚ invertebrates‚ detritus or decaying organic matter. Planarians do not realize that are eating a lot‚ and can over eat resulting in death. Most planarians are freshwater forms that can

Conclusion In a prior lab‚ it was given that the enzyme Aspergillus oryzae (fungus) works best at warm temperatures and an acidic pH‚ porcine (pig) works best at body temperature (37 ºC) and

Abstract By working with physical isopods‚ ordinarily known as pill bugs‚ sow bugs or roly- polies‚ we tried whether these sowbugs favored a dark spot to a light place. Included in the lab are a few outlines and tables sketching out our aftereffects of the test. We measured recurrence

objective of this experiment is to determine the concentration of an unknown copper (II) sulphate solution. You will be using the colorimeter. In this device‚ red light from the LED light source will pass through the solution and strike a photocell. The CuSO4 solution used in this experiment has a deep green color. A higher concentration of the colored solution absorbs more light (and transmits less) than a solution of lower concentration. [Content Standard B- Structure and properties of matter] The colorimeter
