Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests Jacob Palmer University of Puget Sound March 3rd‚ 2015 Measures of Flexibility and Their Correlations to Sit-and-Reach and Modified Sit-and-Reach Tests INTRODUCTION Flexibility can be defined as the capability of something to bend easily without breaking. The flexibility of a person is commonly measured during fitness tests‚ and the most frequently used test of a person’s flexibility is the sit-and-reach

Unknown Lab Report #1 Unknown #1 April 25‚ 2012 Microbiology Spring 2012 MCB2010C Unknown #1 Introduction Identity of a microorganism has proven to be very significant. Doing so can help identify diseases and created treatment and cures for such diseases. As a result‚ various laboratory tests were performed to an unknown microbe (Unknown #1) found in the water of a nearby pond. By identify the microbe‚ the safety of the water will be known to those around it. Materials and Methods

Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

Properties of Gases General Chemistry 1 Lab 5 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the properties of several gasses‚ which were the products of a reaction‚ and examine the way the gasses react under certain conditions. These conditions‚ such as introducing a flame to the gas as well as oxygen and CO2‚ caused other reactions to occur. Hypothesis: If the gasses are correctly synthesized then there will be a clear reaction with the introduction of the flame‚ O2‚ CO2‚ Air

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants that consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia

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

Conclusion: The cookies that we made during each lab showed most of the benefits and disadvantages of making our own cookies compare buying commercial cookies (saving money‚ healthier version‚ taste‚ and texture). I believe‚ I can use all these experiences that I gained during each cookies labs at home too. Also‚ it will be helpful and useful in food service. For instance‚ as a register dietitian‚ I can approach any desserts

Abstract The major objective of this experiment was to observe the effects of catalase under varying controlled conditions. The scope of this experiment includes Metabolic processes‚ such as cellular respiration‚ and it poisonous byproduct hydrogen peroxide. The methodology includes procedures; multiple variables were tested in specific concentrations; that test the reaction rates of the enzyme catalase over a fixed period of time. The major conclusion was that catalase reacts faster in warm temperatures

We will also identify units of measuring heat such as calories and joules. We will use basic lab equipment provided in our labpaq and we will use several household items as well. We

In conclusion‚ even though the lab procedure is not about moles‚ most of the calculations are and this is one lab where the concept of
