Why will insulators affect how long a test tube of hot water stays hot? Background Information I know that there are many different ways of insulating this test tube‚ shiny foil can be used because it’s a poor emitter of radiation and it will reflect escaping heat by reflecting‚ because this method is used in flasks to keep hot drinks warm. Though it is a good conductor so will lose heat through to surfaces its touching but it shouldn’t matter because it will be touching air and glass which both

effect of water and fertilizer on corn seedlings Biology 1108 Lab Section November 7‚ 2012 Abstract The effect of water and fertilizer on corn seedlings was examined. It was hypothesized before the experiment that enough water with sunlight and air should make the plants grow healthy. It has to do with photosynthesis. Fertilizer is also going to make the plants grow much faster; this is because of the nutrients in it. The experiment took about four to six weeks to complete; it took some days for

Enzyme Kinetics Examples and Problems 1. An enzyme is produced for producing a sun protection lotion. Given kinetic data for the enzyme reaction with Vm=2.5 mmol/m3.s‚ Km=8.9 mM and So=12mM‚ what would be the time required for 95% conversion in a batch reactor? 2. An enzyme was assayed at an initial substrate concentration of 10-5M. The Km’ for the substrate is 2x10-3M. At the end of 1 min‚ 2% of the substrate had been converted to product. a. What % of the substrate will be converted

Banana and Papaya Fruit Peelings Extract as an Alternative Culture Medium for Fungi Submitted by: Maricel P. Clores Catherine A. Bernardo Rodora Lafiguera Julius Jorge Suarez Scope and Delimitation This study is focused on how to produce ointment out of banana and papaya fruit peelings extract to help avoiding fungal infections. It must be done within a laboratory. The place must be conducive for only a matter of years. This study builds upon on how to lessen fungal

AIM The aim of this investigation is to explore the effect of different concentrations of bile salts on the time taken for the lipase enzyme to break down fat. BILE Bile is a brownish bitter alkaline fluid produced by the liver and made by the hepatocytes from water‚ bile salts‚ bile pigments cholesterol and phospholipids and stored in the gall bladder. Bile is directly connected with digestion. It is released sporadically into the small intestine (duodenum) which is part of the gut in order

Hypothesis: the higher the concentration of hydrogen peroxide the faster the reaction will occur and the more foam will be produced. Aim: The aim of this investigation is to determine how the concentration of hydrogen peroxide effects the intensity of the reaction. Variables: Independent- The concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Dependant - The intensity of the reaction. Constants – The temperature‚ the amount of liver‚ pH level‚ test time‚ Materials: Solutions of hydrogen peroxide varying

Received July 18‚ 1997X A radiochemical enzyme assay for studying cyclooxygenase (COX)-catalyzed prostaglandin biosynthesis in vitro was optimized with respect to both COX-1 and COX-2 activity. The assay can be used to assess the relative selectivity of plant-derived inhibitors on COX-1 and COX-2. Assay conditions were optimized for both enzymes with respect to concentration of cofactors (l-epinephrine‚ reduced glutathione‚ and hematin)‚ activation time (enzyme and cofactors)‚ reaction time‚ and

Doctors for these camps came in all shapes and sizes including former S.S. Troops‚ Women‚ and a variety of prisoner doctors. The experiments differed as much as the doctors themselves; however they stayed the same in one factor‚ medical curiosity become killing in atrocious

EXPERIMENT NO-1 AIM- To determine the frequency of A. C. mains by using an electric vibrator. APPARATUS- Electric vibrator‚ table lamp‚ pulley‚ weight box‚ fishing cord‚ a. c. source. THEORY- when a cord of mass per unit length m is connected to the vibrating rod of the vibrator and stretched with a tension T‚ the cord vibrators in segments. If the length of the cord is then adjusted until the nodes are clearly marked‚ the frequency of the stretched string is the same as of the vibrating rod which
