Lab #5-Enzymes NAME DATE LAB PERIOD Introduction Enzymes are proteins‚ though highly complex and diverse‚ they serve one basic function; to work as an organic catalyst. A catalyst‚ as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary‚ is a substance that enables a chemical reaction to proceed at a usually faster rate ("Catalyst-Definition and more."). They function by reducing the activation energy‚ or energy required to start a reaction. The way enzymatic reaction works cannot be altered‚ but the

A small amount of the unknown (approximately the tip of the spatula was used for all the pigments) was added into each clean dry test tube. For the first test 1 mL of 3 M of HNO3 was added. As soon as the acid came into with the solid‚ the pigment was observed to dissolve while also turning the solution into a pale clear colour. The same amount was used for the HCl reagent. As soon as the acid touched the pigment it yielded in a clear solution (solid dissolved after a few shakes). When the KI was

Stoichiometric Analysis Formal Lab Report I. Purpose- The purpose of this lab is to show stoiciometric reactions and relationships first hand. It also increases our level of understanding about the complicated relationships in chemical reactions and in stoichiometry. II. Introduction- In chemical reactions and formulas there are various relationships between masses of reactants and products. The study of these relationships is called stoichiometry which is derived from the Greek words stoichein

of Oxalate Ion in Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate using Titrimetry Abstract: In this two-part lab‚ we will learn about coordination compounds and their uses with stoiciometry. We will also find out about how theoretical yield is calculated from a reaction we will create. We will also synthesize Potassium Ferric Oxalate Trihydrate (K_3 [〖Fe(C_2 O_4)〗_3]•3H_2 O) using a two step reaction. In the second part of this lab we will calculate how much Oxalate Ion is present in the K_3 [〖Fe(C_2 O_4)〗_3]•3H_2 O using

Formal lab report: Abstarct: The Purpose of this experiment was to perform Agrobacterium-mediated transformation in Wild type Arabidopsis thaliana Columbia by using somatic plant transformation method. The whole process lasted for over a period of 11 weeks and we were successful in getting transformed plants. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain containing pMP90 (Ti-helper) plasmid and pCAMBIA1391 (T-DNA) plasmid was used for this plant transformation. pCAMBIA1391 plasmid was constructed by cloning Brassica

two plates will just contain Luria Broth. Once again‚ one will contain plasmid and one will not. The research question for this experiment is: What is the difference in the transformation efficiencies between pFLO and pBLU. Before completing this lab‚ a first trial was done following the same procedure below but instead of pFLO‚ pBLU was used. It is believed that the transformations efficiencies should be similar due to the fact that both plasmids are

to break it down the cell will die‚ along with the organism itself. However with the aid of an enzyme‚ catalase‚ hydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver‚ a vegetable‚ and breast tissue. By using variables such a pH and temperature we are able to how the rate of reaction is altered or improved. If it has improved

About 1.3 g Logger Pro graph. 2. Students calculate the rate of reaction using several different concentrations of acid. When the rates are reported in scientific notation it is important to make sure that all the values on the rate axis are report to the same power of ten. You may have to make all the values times ten to the fourth power to draw this graph. Don’t connect the dots; instead draw either a “best fit” line or a smooth carver for the following data.
