The Columbian Exchange is the period of time when there were cultural and biological changes from the Old World to the New World. This would go on to completely change the Europeans and Native Americans way of life. It all started when Columbus set sail to the west for new trade routes to India in 1492 and lasted throughout the years of exploration. The exchange impacted both sides of the Atlantic socially and culturally. This exchange included technology‚ diseases‚ animals‚ and plants. Technology

Peroxidase Enzyme & Temperature Abstract: In this lab we tested the effect temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the different absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for two minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers

Reactions in Aqueous Solutions: Metathesis Reactions and Net Ionic Equations Introduction: Metathesis or double decomposition reactions are a reaction in which two compounds react to form two new compounds‚ with no changes in oxidation number. The ions of two compounds exchange partners. AX + BY AY + BX This reaction can occur between two inorganic salts when one product is insoluble in water‚ driving the reaction forward. A typical example is as followed and is considered a molecular equation

endothermic reaction happened everywhere around us. Basically exothermic and endothermic reaction is transfer energy to the surroundings and take in energy from the surroundings (BBC GCSE bitesize). If the reaction forward ，then is exothermic.If the reaction is the backwards ‚then is endothermic. When a reaction take place‚ the energy started to transfer from different object to the surroundings or take away energy from the surroundings. When temperature started to change.

domestic consumption‚ large remittances from four- to five-million overseas Filipino workers‚ and a growing business process outsourcing industry. Economic growth in the Philippines averaged 4.5% during the MACAPAGAL-ARROYO administration (January 2001 - June 2010). Despite this growth‚ however‚ poverty worsened during her presidency. The AQUINO administration is working to reduce the government deficit from 3.9% of GDP‚ when it took office‚ to 2% of GDP by 2013. The government has had little difficulty

After 14 years of trial and error‚ he developed a process he called Appertizing. Fruits‚ vegetables‚ fish‚ or meat was sealed in stoppered bottles and the filled bottles were immersed in boiling water; the heat sterilized the bottles and food alike. Appert knew nothing of enzymes or bacteria‚ nor did anyone else in his day. He did observe that when food was heated in the sealed bottles‚ the food remained good as long as the seal was not broken. The food remained edible until the bottles were

Effect of Catalase at Different Temperatures Abstract The role of this experiment is to determine the effect of temperature on enzymatic activity. The results of the experiment were the colder the temperature the slower the reaction rate and the hotter the temperature the faster the reaction rate. Introduction Enzymes are chemical substances found in living cells and they act as catalysts of the various chemical reactions that occur in them.(Preszler‚ 2012) They bind to substrates that have

BIOL2220 Lab 3: Hill Reaction Introduction In 1937‚ Robert Hill discovered that isolated chloroplasts can generate oxygen when they are illuminated in the presence of a suitable electron acceptor‚ even in the absence of carbon dioxide. This finding was a landmark in the study of photosynthesis because it established that the source of the electrons used in the light reactions is water. It also confirmed that the released oxygen is derived from water instead of carbon dioxide. In chloroplasts

complex reactions and reaction sequences‚ where raw materials react together to give the product. Such chemical process often releases energy‚ in the form of heat‚ and the reaction is described as exothermic. Many of these reactions may also evolve gases at high rates‚ and could cause reactor over-pressure. Thermal runaway reaction Runaway reactions are thermally unstable reactions where the heat of reaction can raise the temperature of the reactants sufficiently to accelerate the reaction rate out

In this experiment‚ Rennin might have an optimum temperature of 37 degrees Celsius as it is found in the stomachs of young mammals. As the temperature is increased‚ the rate of reaction (time for milk to curdle) will also increase until the optimum temperature is reached (37 degrees). After reaching this set point‚ the activity of the enzyme will gradually begin to decrease and the rate of reaction will eventually
