Introductory Biology 1 Biology 1003 Fall Term 2011 Lab Number: 3 Title: Cell Energetics: Enzyme Role in Biological Reactions Name: Brandon Moore Student Number: 100819124 Lab day and time: Wednesday pm Date: Wednesday November 23‚ 2011 Introduction Enzymes are a key aspect in our everyday life and are a key to sustaining life. They are biological catalysts that help speed up the rate of reactions. They do this by lowering the activation energy of chemical reactions (Biology

Labs and Diagnostics Colonoscopy This test allows direct visualization of the small bowel‚ rectum‚ and colon. It is recommended for patients who have experienced fecal occult blood or obvious blood in the stool. It is also recommended for patients who have experienced a change in bowel habits or are experiencing abdominal pain. In patients who have had colorectal cancer‚ polyposis‚ or inflammatory bowel disease it is used to observe for continued progression of their condition. During the procedure

Raquel Johnson October 19‚ 2014 Solids: Recrystallization and Melting Points Organic Chemistry 2423 Lab Report: Recrystallization Abstract: The purpose of this lab was to purify an unknown compound by recrystallization. Taking an unknown compound and identifying it by purifying it from its impurities through the use of hot gravity filtration. Then to determine the unknown you were to take the melting point. An unknown compound was recrystallized from hot water to produce 0.99 grams (67% recovery)

Lab Report #1 Title: Synthesis of Divanillin Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize divanillin. This was done via the oxidative dimerization of two equivalents of vanillin‚ using enzyme horseradish peroxidase as the catalyst. Procedure: Lab Handout: Nishimura‚ R.T.; Giammanco‚ C.H.; Vosburg‚ D.A. J. Chem Educ. 2010‚ 87‚ 526-527. Discussion: Mechanism: Reaction 2 Vanillin H2O2 Divanillin 2 H2O

Introduction and Purpose: This lab focuses on how weight affects the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s) respectively. The primary goal of this lab is to investigate and explain the relationship of these two factors. During the process of conducting this experiment‚ learning to design a lab will also be achieved. Research Question: What is the effect of weight on the time it takes for a rotocopter to fall from a drop height of 1 and 2 meter(s)? Variable

Impurity Lab Report Aim: To find out the difference of the boiling point and melting point when adding impurity (salt) to water. Diagram: Method: 1.Set up the apparatus as shown in the diagram 2. Get a known amount of ice in the beaker (half full)‚ and a known amount of salt in another beaker 3. Measure the temperature (melting point) of the ice without adding any impurity (salt). 4. Measure the temperature (melting point) of the ice after adding the salt into the beaker. 5. Heat up

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate

Lab Report Density Name: Period: Problem How do you calculate Density? What units did you use for volume‚ mass‚ and density? When the cubes are placed in water which one will sink 1st? What is the ranking of the cubes lightest (1) to heaviest (10)? Is it true that the cube with the most mass will have the most density? Hypothesis I think the 1st cube was aluminum I think the 2nd cube was steel I think the 3rd cube was brass I think the 4th cube was copper I think the 5th

ABSTRACT On the past two weeks‚ I have done an experiment on hydrostatics‚ or is also known as fluid statics (fluid at rest) within the fluid mechanics field of study. This condition explains that in a stable condition‚ the fluid is at rest. The use of fluid in doing work is known as hydraulics‚ and the science of fluid in motion is known as fluid dynamics. INTRODUCTION The natural nature of fluids are they cannot remain stationary under the application of shear stress. However‚ fluid

This lab experiment investigates the effect of listening to different types of music on one’s pulse. The experiment relates the circulatory system to the pulse as it measures how quickly the heart contracts and releases blood. Pulse is measured in beats per minute (bpm). One’s pulse is loudest near the heart‚ because there is more pressure closer to the heart. In contrast‚ one’s pulse is quieter the further away it is measured from the heart‚ because there is less pressure the further the distance
