Effects of Temperature and pH on Enzyme Function Chelsie Mesa Section 0479 Robin Cotter Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to identify three unknown enzymes. This is done by using different temperature and pH to affect the function of the enzyme‚ which ultimately‚ will affect how much maltose is produced. Enzymes are proteins that help catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions‚ the molecules at the beginning of the process are called substrates‚ and the enzyme

The different methods of measuring acids and bases in a solution By Starsky Intro to Biology September 26‚ 2011 Lab Partners: Kristen‚ Tania and Betty Introduction When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best

Special Report Plastic Additive: A Techno-Commercial Profile B.G. SAMPAT E-mail: bgsampat@bom3.vsnl.net.in INTRODUCTION Every activity in modern life is influenced by plastics and many depend entirely on plastic products. All these plastic products are made from the essential polymer mixed with a complex blend of materials known collectively as additives. Without additives‚ plastics would not work‚ but with them they can be made safer‚ cleaner‚ tougher and more colourful. Additives cost money

AP Bio Block B Photosynthesis Lab 12/6/12 Introduction: Photosynthesis is affected by light intensity‚ water‚ and temperature. Plants grow more abundantly because the weather is warm. Carbon Dioxide given off by animals is consumed by plants that replace the oxygen animals take it. Experimentation will help understanding how plants are vital because of the oxygen they release. If leaf disks in the experiment release oxygen‚ they will undergo photosynthesis and float. If

Name: Nikia Martinez Class: Biology 240L L3-1201 Assignment: Electrocardiography Lab Report Due: April 3rd 2012 Professor: Dr. B. Schoffstall Introduction In a normal human being the heart correctly functions by the blood first entering through the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood flow continues through the right atrioventricular valve into the right ventricle. The right ventricle contracts forcing the pulmonary valve to open leading blood flow through the pulmonary

Dehydration of 2-Methylcyclohexanol February 10‚ 2013 Introduction This experiment was done to demonstrate the practical use of dehydration reactions and produce three different products. Dehydration reactions are reactions that involve the leaving of an “-OH” or “-H” group resulting in the formation of a double bond between two carbons. For the experiment we used 2-Methylcyclohexanol as a beginning reagent to dehydrate and possibly form 3-methylcyclohexene‚ 1-methylcyclohexene‚ or methylenecyclohexane

The human cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ the blood‚ and a system of transporting vessels. A human heart has four chambers: a right and left atrium and a right and left ventricle. The fist-sized heart sits in its own sac (the pericardium) in the middle of the chest under the sternum. In most people‚ the apex of the heart points to the left. There are two circuits of simultaneous blood flow in humans: a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit‚ the right
