AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

The different methods of measuring acids and bases in a solution By Starsky Intro to Biology September 26‚ 2011 Lab Partners: Kristen‚ Tania and Betty Introduction When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best

Meiosis and Genetic Diversity in Sordaria 979554296 Biology 110 Lab Introduction: In Israel there exists multiple spots in the mountains called Evolution Canyons‚ which are all located between a southern facing slope (SFS) and a northern facing slope (NFS). What’s particularly interesting about these locations is that despite the two slopes being on opposite sides of a small canyon‚ they exhibit extremely contrasting conditions. The SFS receives multiple times the UV radiation from the sun

that cigarettes release more then 20 carcinogens know to promote lung cancer into your body. (Hecht‚ 2010). When looking at the cilia exposed to cigarette smoke in this lab it is seen that they have been greatly slowed down when compared to the uncontaminated cilia‚ and parts of the cells are covered in tar from the tobacco. For this lab it was hypothesized that smoking will inhibit the ciliary action and lower the quality filter the greater affect will be exhibited by the effected cilia. The prediction

the four different pigments types of a leaf. As the filter paper with the solvent will separate the pigments in terms of solubility‚ a clear segmentation of each is expected to show off. As various chemicals were used in the whole process of this lab‚ certain variables might have influenced the results in terms of the purity of each chemical or purity of the used filtrate. Background The chloroplast‚ basically‚ is the organelle responsible for photosynthesis. Structurally it is very similar to

Adol Condensation Introduction: This reaction is carried out by adding benzaldehyde and acetone into a flask. The product created is a 1‚5-diphenyl-1‚4-pentdiene-3-one‚ which includes two double bonds‚ and two benzyl ring functional groups. This is a dehydration reaction that occurs twice in order to form the diene. After obtaining the product‚ via vacuum filtration‚ it will be recrystallized and then analyzed for purity by determining both products’ melting point. The two products will be

The Effects of Individuals’ Detection of Changes in Images on Reaction Time Abstract The purpose of this current study was to examine how individuals detected or noticed change when viewing images on their level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These

The Effect of Metal Ions on Lichens Casey Stinnett ESC 1510 October 30‚ 2014 Introduction Lichens are a sybiotic association of fungus (mycobiont) and algae (Pediastrum boryanum . The fungus engulfs the algae‚ then supplies carbs‚ nitrogen‚ and vitamins while the algae photosynthesizes. This unusual relationship enables the lichen to grow in environments where neither fungus nor algae would normally be able to solely survive. They are found on every continent‚ ranging all the way from

A. ENG237-02: Transients in RC and RL Circuits 0. Introduction The objective of this experiment is to study the DC transient behaviors of RC and RL circuits. This experiment has divided into 6 parts: 1. Charging curve from measured data ( R = 10M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 2. Draw the charging curve by the graphical method 3. Discharging curve from measured data ( R = 5M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 4. Draw the discharging curve by the graphical method 5. Display of the charging and discharging
