used to speed up chemical reactions. Adding inorganic catalysts to reactants increase the rate of most chemical reactions. However‚ all enzymes are different and there are numerous amounts. Many enzymes are essential for life and reactions would not happen rapidly to maintain life with the help of enzymes. Specific enzymes lower the activation energy for specific reactions and shapes. Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. This occurs when energy is added to reactants. Amino acid

Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

Alka-Seltzer Rocket Formal Lab Report Abstract In the Alka-Seltzer Rocket lab one was to experimentally determine how much (grams) Alka-Seltzer and water in mL‚ is needed to launch the rocket the highest/longest distance in cm. Also to experimentally determine the % NaHCO3 in the tablet using the information from the highest/longest distance. Calculate the error and % error of NaHCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet and to determine the limiting reagent for the highest/longest distance traveled. Alka-Seltzer

explain they happened. The lab involved burning a Marshmallow‚ a CHEEZ-IT‚ a Cheeto‚ and A Chex. The heat from the burning snack food is then carried into the H2O and used to calculate the energy content. An improvement that could be made was a replacement for the paperclip; it was difficult to balance the paperclip and sample combination‚ a skewer connected to the table would be a better option. Another improvement could placing the sample inside a Coke Can that is cut in half with holes punctured-to

Zach Sexton December 4‚ 2014 Bot 121 Lab Coleus Lab Report 1. A cutting can form an entire new plant if cutting being used has a meristem. If the cutting has no meristem‚ mitosis will not occur and you will end up with a dead piece of plant material. In order to successfully grow a new plant through a cutting‚ your plant must have adventitious root growth which in order to deliver water and nutrients to the plant. Adventitious roots are created through cell potency where cells differentiate. The

Lalin Candium Lab Report Chemistry Block H Mr. Neil Chipman Calculating the Atomic Mass for Different Candium Isotopes Objective: In this experiment I will be discovering the atomic weight of Candium isotopes. By doing this experiment‚ it helps us to know how to calculate the relative abundance and atomic mass of each Candium isotopes without having to use the spectrometer. This lab will achieve my understanding of isotopes and why it has different masses but same number of protons due

Stoichiometry Lab Stoichiometry is the end result of adding up chemical elements that were involved in chemical reactions (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stoichiometry). The word stoichiometry was obtained from two greek words meaning element and measure. This explains the definition for the term. A chemist named Jeremias Benjamin Richter was the chemist responsible for first realizing what stoichiometry was (http://www.chemteam.info/Stoichiometry/What-is-Stoichiometry.html). In 1972

Mallory Charland February 9‚ 2015 Mutations of E. coli Lab Report Advanced Biology Deducing Mutations of the Lac Operon of E. coli Abstract: In this lab we determined a possible mutation in unique bacterial strains of E. coli by observing the proper responses of wild type E. coli Lac Operon as a control group. Mutated strains of E. coli were placed in four test tubes‚ each containing a different substance (lactose‚ glucose‚ water and lactose and glucose)

Biosphere Lab Report A biosphere can be defined a lot of different ways. Our interpretation of a biosphere is the area in which life can be contained within. In the case of the earth‚ it means as high as a bird can fly and as deep as fish can swim in the ocean. A biosphere is a closed system that has a constant flow of energy between the organisms living within it and it needs nothing outside of itself but sunlight to continue to be sustained. At the University of Arizona‚ they attempted to build
