In this 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

necessity of life requirements for basically all living organisms.* In this lab we are testing how different levels of salinity in the water indirectly affects the gross primary productivity in aquatic plants. To measure this you would use the light and dark bottle method. Only respiration (R) can occur in the bottle stored in the dark. The decrease in dissolved oxygen in the dark bottle over time is a measure of the rate of respiration. Both photosynthesis and respiration can occur in the bottle

Rachel Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 27 April 2015 GMOs Lab Report Introduction As the population of Earth increases exponentially‚ so does the demand for more food. One of the solutions to the question of how more food can be produced is Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs. There is an ongoing debate about whether or not GMOs are more beneficial or harmful to society. Some of the benefits to GMOs are: growing plants‚ such as corn‚ that are resistant to weeds and pests‚ larger

Collecting Photosynthetic Rates in Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) Introduction: The purpose of this study was to see which light color would cause the spinach sample to photosynthesize the most within the given time. In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a

effects of exercise by pulmonary rate‚ heart rate and blood pressure with regards to cardiopulmonary function. The exercises dealt with vital capacity between male and females in terms of their age‚ physical conditions‚ and size. We also measured the electrical activity of the heart by using an electrocardiogram (ECG). The experiment consisted of measuring blood pressure for a normal male or female at a resting point versus them exercising and seeing their blood pressure increase and seeing whether or

Enzymes are responsible for multiple reactions that take place naturally in the living organisms. The purpose of the enzymes lab was to investigate how the enzymes play a role in a reaction‚ affecting the rate of reaction (ROR). Interestingly‚ we tested how the enzymes affect the reaction rate at multiple temperatures (0‚ 23‚ 37‚ 50‚ 70‚ and 95 C). It was predicted that an increase in temperature will elevate the thermal activity of substrate which increases the chances the substrate molecules will

Title: The Effect of Varying Amounts of Substrate and Enzyme on a Reaction Rate Abstract In living organisms‚ certain reactions must take place rapidly to assist life. This occurs because of enzymes‚ because all reactions would take place too slowly to sustain life (Jacklet‚ 237). Enzymes are large protein molecules that catalyze specific chemical reactions without being used up in the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air‚ and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient‚ compared with the
