Reetika Kashyap September 20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

By measuring the reaction rate between bleach and the dye‚ the order of the reaction was determined to be first order. Introduction The study of kinetics is important for studying the amount of time it takes for a particular reaction to reach

The experimental membrane we used in this lab acted as a barrier in which only a small number of molecules can pass through. In this experiment we wanted to show the process of osmosis‚ in which water passes through the aforementioned barrier. Osmosis is critical to life because the process regulates

PEES 4200W- Physiology of Exercise Lab #2: Metabolism and Energy Expenditure 1. The Respiratory exchange ratio is the ratio of the volume of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen consumed. The ratio indicates the energy that the subject is expending for indirect calorimetry‚ how efficient the subject ’s body is at utilizing the oxygen inhaled‚ as well as the main substrate being used for energy during varying intensities of exercise. During rest the volume of carbon dioxide was 0.73L/min‚ the volume

away from her body to create a slow spin. As she tucks her arms in‚ she will spin much more rapidly. By moving her mass closer to the axis‚ she reduced her moment of inertia. Many practical applications for this experiment exist. Car manufacturers study it carefully to determine how quickly a car will spin out of control. Here‚ a higher moment is created such that the car is less likely to lose control in a spin. Many sports also use the concept‚ as in the example of the skater. Divers use this so
