Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

Synthesis of Tetraphenylcylopentadienone Post-Lab Report Purpose- This experiment illustrates the use of adol condensation for the synthesis of a five-membered carbocylic ring. It is also a good demonstration of the impact extended conjugation has on the absorption of visible light. The reactants are bright yellow in color while the products are a very deep purple color appearing almost black. Introduction- The synthesis of Tetraphanylcyclopentadienone was a further example of the adol

Introduction:- The primary 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

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

How does the chemical being burned affect the color of fire? Why do you think each fire burns a different color? The colors of the flames are are due to the different chemicals and substances. The bright yellow-orange of most wood fueled flames is because of the sodium‚ and when it’s heated‚ it emits the glow of the fire. The blue in some wood-fueled flames is because of the carbon and hydrogen emit a blue and purple aura. How are the colors produced by a chemical when it burns related to the atomic

Shalacia Gilmore Fall 2012 BIO 1107 Natural Selection Lab INTRODUCTION In the 1850s‚ two scientists by the name of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace composed the theory of evolution by natural selection. (1) Darwin characterized several claims needed for natural selection to happen‚ including heritable variation within the population‚ and the presence of more individuals than the environment can support. They also discovered that certain environments favored certain traits. These

Lab Report 1/28/13 Observations of Chemical Changes Page. 14 Objectives: The objectives of this experiment are: 1. To observe some properties of chemical reactions 2. to associate chemical properties with household products Background Information: Chemical changes are often accompanied by physical changes. Three that you should not see in this lab are changes in temperature‚ presence of a flame‚ and evolution of light‚ as when as firefly glows. Three physical changes that indicate a

Organismic Lab Lab1- Dichotomous Key Introduction A dichotomous key is a series of paired statements or questions that are used to categorize organisms with their similarities in characteristics and or structure. The word dichotomous comes from two Greek words that translate to “divided in two parts.” In a Dichotomous key each step has two choices: whether a particular characteristic is present or absent. The questions
