1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer

Enzymes are organic catalysts‚ usually proteins that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity:

Colleen Doyle Lab report 4 Gender Roles John Tucker Must Die John Tucker Must Die is a movie about the classic stereotypical male athlete in high school. John Tucker is the star basketball player who is sexy‚ talented and good with his words. Every girl in high school wants to date John Tucker. With his reputation‚ John dates 3 girls at once. He dates such stereotypical girls including the cheerleader‚ the “slut”‚ and the smarty-pants. Because of his name‚ he gets away this. But‚ all of this

Digestion and Enzymes – APP. Hypothesis: The enzyme‚ Amylase which is used to break down carbohydrates will work the best when heated at 40°C. Also‚ as the temperature increases the reaction rate of amylase increases too. However‚ the reaction rate of amylase will start decreasing when the temperature reaches the enzyme’s optimal temperature. Many enzymes are specific for a certain substrate. For example‚ lipase is a specific enzyme for fat substrates and protease‚ a specific enzyme for protein

Immobilized Enzyme Immobilized Enzyme * Enzymes which are attached to small bead made of alginate are called immobilized enzyme * However‚ whatever the nature of an immobilized enzyme‚ it must comprise two essential functions‚ namely the non-catalytic functions (NCF) that are designed to aid separation and the catalytic functions (CF) that are designed to convert the target compounds within the time and space desired * Immobilized enzymes might meet the increasing demand by manufacturers

Enzyme Report Case 1 - Hereditary Fructose Intolerance 1 & 2. Enzymes take on a variety of roles in the human body at the cellular level. Specifically‚ they aid in the breakdown of macronutrients such as glucose and fructose so that the body can use them. Although reactions within the body would occur without enzymes‚ enzymes provide control because the reaction is not needed all of the time. Enzymes function in specific environments such as temperature or pH; some enzymes are specific

Egestion Using either a starch molecule or a fat molecule explain the journey from the mouth to the anus and indicate clearly points at which mechanical and chemical digestion are taking place: Points to consider: • The route taken by the molecule • How and where the molecule is gradually broken down along the route • How the digestive products are taken up (absorption) • How the absorbed molecules are used by the cells (assimilation) TASK 4: Explain

Enzymes All enzymes are globular proteins and round in shape They have the suffix "-ase" Intracellular enzymes are found inside the cell Extracellular enzymes act outside the cell (e.g. digestive enzymes) Enzymes are catalysts → speed up chemical reactions Reduce activation energy required to start a reaction between molecules Substrates (reactants) are converted into products Reaction may not take place in absence of enzymes (each enzyme has a specific catalytic action) Enzymes catalyse
