the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn’t have enough kinetic energy the car won’t go very far. According to my research‚ If work‚ which transfers energy‚ is done on an object by applying a net force‚ the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make my car go further. This illustrates how if there is more potential energy than kinetic energy the car won’t go nearly as far as it could. According to my research‚ potential energy

Catalase Enzyme Lab Samiya Hussein March 9‚ 2012 Introduction In order to receive the necessary amounts of energy required for daily function‚ the digestive system must break down proteins‚ fats and carbohydrates. In doing so‚ the body produces poisonous chemicals; however‚ the cells aren’t harmed. This is because enzymes are used to break down these chemicals. The name of the enzyme that was the main focus of the lab is catalase. Catalase is responsible for catalyzing hydrogen peroxide into oxygen

of Chapter 14 (Kinetics of a Particle : Work and Energy) and Chapter 18 (Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body : Work and Energy) In the Mechanic Dynamics subject‚ monitored by Dr. Faisal Mohamad Ayob‚ I have learnt about the Kinetics of a Particle : Work and Energy of Chapter 14 and Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body : Work and Energy of Chapter 18. Between these two chapters‚ I found out that they have some similarities and differences that can be compared. In Chapter 14 which is Kinetics of a Particle

relation to this dilemma. Past research has shown that hydrogen fuel cells can quite possibly replace the country’s current usage of oil while having a more positive effect on the environment. However‚ environmentalists have conducted their own contradicting research on fuel cells reflecting negative effects on the environment. Numerous articles have been published which express both sides of this debate. Although some scientists believe hydrogen fuel cells will improve the environment and rid the United

Most people choose hydrogen peroxide over rubbing alcohol to clean a wound since hydrogen peroxide doesn’t burn. However‚ when hydrogen peroxide is treated on deeper wounds into the flesh‚ it can pose numerous problems to cellular health. When hydrogen peroxide is used correctly to clean wounds‚ it becomes an oxidizer and can be used as a disinfectant to prevent infections. However when used incorrectly‚ hydrogen peroxide can cause oxidative stress on cells. This essentially means that there is an

a specific enzyme‚ speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ a toxic chemical produced by cells in the body‚ into water and oxygen (Cain and others‚ 2010). The oxygen can be observed as bubbles coming from the reaction site. Catalase is found in many living tissues of organisms‚ including chicken liver. The purpose of this experiment is to determine what changes in pH‚ temperature‚ and enzyme concentration have on the rate catalase works to break down hydrogen peroxide. If the pH‚ temperature‚ or enzyme concentration changes

Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Yeast Abstract A number of different variables‚ such as the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide solution or the temperature at which the reaction occurs‚ can affect the rate at which yeast breaks down hydrogen peroxide. To prove this we first tested the solution with 3% concentration of peroxide‚ the paper that was soaked in yeast rose in 1.7 seconds. After that we changed our concentration to 2.25%‚ 1.5%‚ and .75% of hydrogen peroxide to see the effects

Time need to perform this lab: approximately 3 hours Preparation FIRST: Read the lab in its entirety TWICE before you begin. You will perform the experiment‚ write your lab report and include the answers to the additional 4 questions within the text for full credit on this experiment. Materials: •3% hydrogen peroxide •a

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

enzyme lab‚ (insert creative name)‚ the enzyme catalase was observed under varying conditions in order to interpret what prohibits and inhibits the functioning of certain enzymes in chemical reactions. Enzymes aid in chemical reactions by speeding up the time it takes for the reaction to occur‚ without getting “used up” throughout the process. Catalase‚ the specific enzyme used in this lab‚ is a protein abundant in the liver and red blood cells. It enhances the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ the substrate
