The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;

Abby Goldschmidt Honors Biology 2° Mrs. Gempel September 3‚ 2015 Daphnia Lab Results Paper Abstract The goal of the study was to observe the effects of multiple chemicals on a Daphnia magna’s heart-rate compared to a control (pond water). The different chemicals were caffeine and alcohol. The heart-rate was the main variable in this experiment. The Daphnia’s heart-rate was observed for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4 to show its heart-rate in one minute. This was repeated 4 times for each

Ecology-Interspecific Interactions Lab Intro: Ecology is the study of how organisms interact within their environment. Every species interacts with its surroundings‚ whether it’s within their populations‚ community‚ ecosystem‚ etc. In this lab‚ we will be comparing two different species and how they grow alone as well as together‚ in the same environment. More specifically‚ in this lab‚ we will be dealing with one of the most important ideas in ecology‚ the niche. Due to this concept‚ we can study the environmental

a gain in kinetic energy. The equation PE = m x g x h supports the fact that as height increases (keeping the mass constant) the energy stored‚ that is‚ the potential energy increases. So when the ball is released the energy stored inside the ball would get converted to kinetic energy of motion which collides with the clay slab resulting in a crater. Thus increasing the height increases the energy stored in the ball and so when dropped‚ more of the energy would be converted to kinetic energy as a

2. LINEAR MOTION In this experiment you will study the motion of an object in one dimension from a number of points of view. You will demonstrate how the variables of motion are related by differentiation and integration and investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Theory Why Study Motion? Motion is everywhere in the universe. Only at a temperature of absolute zero is the motion in any body truly absent. If motion exists then so also does energy. To the delight of

Sumner Lab Partners: Amber Carter‚ Emily Rawles‚ Clayton Scott Wednesday‚ March 6‚ 2013‚ 9:00 AM Lab Instructor: Uttar Pudasaini Introduction In this experiment we will be examining how the kinetic friction coefficient is altered by changing the mass‚ surface area‚ speed‚ and material contacting each other. In order to find this value‚ we will be using a pulley apparatus that will allow us to measure the average velocity and manipulate Newton’s Second Law of Motion to find the kinetic friction

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

Collision Lab Simulation Purpose: To study elastic and inelastic collisions in one-dimension. Background Information: Momentum: is a measure of mass in motion. It is the product of mass x velocity. Conservation of Momentum: in the absence of external forces‚ such as friction‚ the linear momentum of a system remains constant. Procedure: 1. Open web browser and go to the site: http://phet.colorado.edu 2. Click “play with sims”‚ then “physics”‚ and then “motion” 3. Find the “Collision Lab” 4

Student Guide Laboratory: Drop and Bounce Different matter responds differently to force. In this lab‚ you will explore the relationship between matter and energy by dropping objects made of different materials from different heights to see how high they bounce. You will be dropping these objects in a virtual lab setting where objects behave the same as they would in the real world. Goals for the Lesson Solve a problem using the scientific method.
