Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction

serviced‚ so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.” Denny Klein also said that the electrolysis process is natural and that no other gas can or will do this. His invention is drawing attention worldwide. “Microsoft started from a small garage‚ why not HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGY?” His company is developing a gasoline-water hybrid hummer for the US military. The technology is still undergoing independent tests. The company managers predict that it will hit the market in two years. In1995‚ another guy named Stanley

The Adoption of Electrically Powered Vehicles in the U.S. Date: 08-31-2013 The non-internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles consists of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV)‚ plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV)‚ single-fuel all electric vehicles (EV)‚ and fuel cell vehicles (FCV). Earlier attempts at non-ICE vehicles were faced with many challenges resulting in abandonment of research and development. General Motors (GM) discontinued the EV1 electric vehicle after investing about $1 billion in

A. Describe the significant role the value chain played in the growth and development of the Zongshen Group: * Identify two elements from Porter’s Five Forces Model‚ determinants of buyer power and suppler power‚ to illustrate the problems the group entered with suppliers during the early years of China’s privatization policy. In early history of Zongshen group‚ the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) played a critical role as dominant suppliers in the motorcycle industries. The SOEs have this

The electricity requirement for compressing air has to be considered while computing overall efficiency. Nevertheless the compressed air vehicle will contribute to reducing a air pollution and tend to zero pollution level and promoting great environment. Main advantage of this engine is that no hydrocarbon fuel required means no combustion process is take place. HISTORY In fact‚ two centuries

Advantages and Disadvantages of Hybrid cars 11:15AM 13/07/2012 Hybrid cars are thought to be the vehicle of the future‚ with increasing emphasis being put on cutting carbon footprints and protecting the planet. Not long ago Hybrid cars were the preserve of the particularly eco-conscious‚ but they have now made their way into the mainstream. Most major motoring brands offer Hybrids with models like the Toyota Prius‚ the Honda CR-Z and the Lexus CT proving popular. They work by combining a fuel

The MQ-8B Fire Scout is a specific example of a rotary-propelled type UAV. The Fire Scout’s “Vertical Take-Off and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTOL-UAV) system is designed to operate from air-capable ships.” (U.S. Navy) This type of system is often found on guided missile frigates‚ or simply a Navy battleship‚ as well as Littoral Combat Ships (LCS)‚ which are specifically Navy ships close to shore lines used for immediate combat.
