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

Purpose Determine the acceleration in a quick sprint. Question What would the participant’s acceleration be if he/she sprints forward in a positive direction? Hypothesis/Prediction When a person sprints forward‚ it means he/she speeds up. Consequently‚ the acceleration should be positive. When the velocity accelerates at a constant rate‚ the acceleration should remain constant. Therefore‚ if the participant is moving toward a positive direction and the speed increases‚ then the acceleration

Part 1 of the experiment was done by 2 different methods. Method 1 was with a force sensor‚ springs‚ and a weight hanger in which masses of 100 gram increments were added (up to 600 grams). A force vs. displacement

Sam Chu (Jacob Gorman and Tyler Kui) Lab #1: Separation of a Mixture Mr. Mejia 10/3/14 Separation of a Mixture Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to separate an initial heterogeneous mixture composed of 5.00 grams of salt‚ 2.00 grams of sand‚ 50.0 mL of water‚ 15.00 grams of pebbles‚ and 1.00 gram of iron filings‚ and leave as much salt as possible remaining. Using separation techniques including magnetizing‚ evaporation‚ filtration‚ etc. the heterogeneous mixture was thoroughly

split injection from the machine that passed helium gas into the vaporized clove oil to lower the concentration. This is because prior to the the split injection and addition of helium gas‚ the concentration of the clove oil was too high to process. Eugenol and beta- caryophyllene were expected to have a high percent composition as they are the two major components in clove oil. Before the percentages could be determined‚ a new total area from the graph needed to be calculated. This was because a portion

Background The melting point of a compound is the temperature at which the solid is in equilibrium with its liquid. A solid compounds changes to a liquid when the molecules acquire enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together. A mixture melting point is useful in confirming and used to indentify an unknown compound‚ which we will be doing in this particular experiment. Purpose Measure the melting points of pure benzoic acid and pure mandelic acid. Determine the eutectic composition

Osmosis is a passive movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this lab‚ we can determine the direction of diffusion of small molecules by measuring the diffusion of small molecules through dialysis tubing. This tubing acts as a selectively permeable membrane‚ and allow to pass larger molecules slowly. Introduction: Cells have kinetic energy and it causes the molecules of the cell to move around
