THE ORGANELLES OF EUKARYOTIC CELLS . The difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells is organelles‚ membrane enclosed structures that perform specific duties. The most important of all is the “nucleus‚” this holds the DNA and is surrounded by a double membrane. The Prokaryotic lacks a nucleus which is not partitioned from the other cells by membranes. The region between the nucleus and plasma membrane is called cytoplasm and in the Eukaryotic cell it consists of various organelles

Chirag Patel Biology 157 Determining the Effect of Varying Substrate Concentration Question: How does concentration of potatoes affect the amount of oxygen produced with hydrogen peroxide and potatoes (enzymes)? Introduction The enzyme used for this experiment is Catalase. Catalase is inside mostly any living organism which uses oxygen. Its job is to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ into oxygen and water. (Formula) 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 (lab manual). There are limiting factors which if altered

Cell Fractionation * Cell Fractionation: takes cells apart and separates the major organelles and other subcellular structures from one another. * Tissue cells are the first one to be homogenate or broken apart. * Plasma membranes are broken up so that there internal contents spill out and mix together and this is called homogenate. * Homogenate is in spun in a higher rate of speed in a process called centrifugation. And that speed can vary that why it’s called differential

Catalase Lab Introduction: Catalase is an enzyme normally found in many plant and animal tissues. Its purpose is to destroy toxic substances which may be introduced into cells. Also‚ some cells use catalase to destroy cellular debris or worn out organelles. In this lab‚ we will use a catalase solution from potatoes and determine the effect of temperature and pH on the action of this enzyme. The substrate of the enzyme will be 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Catalase works by the following mechanism:

The effect on rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction by different objectives which include effect of substrate‚ temperature‚ ph and effect of a competitive inhibitor phosphate ions. This is determined by the reaction of hydrolysis by p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNP) as a substrate by the enzyme phosphatase. Abstract The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate has been studied in human red blood cells. To see if hydrolysis was related to the functioning of the sodium pump. Acid phosphatase catalysis’s

This paper is about how the plant cells and solar cells are similar to each other as well as how they are different to one another. In addition this paper explains how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the plant and solar cells system. Plant Cells and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process of producing and releasing oxygen in the air. It needs sunlight‚ carbon dioxide and

though a cell is the basic unit of an organism it can be pretty complex inside of one. So why don’t we try and make it a little simpler by comparing it to something we’re all more comfortable with? Take Disneyland for example! Everyone is familiar with Disneyland and how it works. Let’s see just how similar these two can be. First‚ would be the entrance gate. The entrance gate could be our cytoplasm. Cytoplasm is the jelly-like fluid that fills a cell and inside is all the other cell organelles

Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Title Influence of Concentration on the Activity of Amylase Abstract Does more or less concentration speed up the reaction rate of amylase in starch? In this experiment diluted solutions of amylase were created and then tested using a starch solution‚ I2KI for reaction times. The answer to the question was proved to be that more concentration of amylase speeds up the reaction time. Introduction The enzyme‚ amylase is found in the saliva
