Aim: To find the effect of temperature on enzymes‚ using a potato as a catalyst. The source of catalase is in the potato cells. 2H2O2 → O2 + H2O Planning: Introduction: An Enzyme is any one of many specialised organic substances‚ composed of polymers of amino acids‚ that act as catalysts to regulate the speed of the many chemical reactions involved in the metabolism of living organisms Enzymes are classified into several broad categories‚ such as hydrolytic‚ oxidising‚ and reducing‚ depending

mitochondrial matrix via active transport. Numerous reactions‚ catalyzed by a multi enzyme complex then occur‚ where the pyruvate is decarboxylated as shown in the reaction below. Pyruvate + NAD* + CoA ? acetyl CoA + reduced NAD + Carbon Dioxide This experiment shall be carried out via the manometric technique‚ where there are two different environments with differing pressures. Oxygen is taken up by maggots for respiration‚ in one boiling tube‚ producing carbon dioxide‚ which is then absorbed by soda

Introduction Caffeine is a very common substance and is found in coffee‚ tea‚ soft drinks‚ chocolate‚ and "stay-awake" pills such as Vivarin. It can be synthesized or isolated from natural sources. Caffeine constitutes approximately 4% of tea and coffee leaves‚ and is also found in cola nuts and cacao beans. Caffeine is a member of

Effects of Allelopathy on Plants Dates experiment was conducted: Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to design a controlled experiment to see if a plant could survive living in eucalyptus tea. Allelopathy is when a plant gives off a bio-chemical that kills that plants around it‚ such as eucalyptus trees‚ black walnut trees‚ etc. My class went to the a eucalyptus grove and observed the eucalyptus trees. We noticed that there was a small circle around the tree that had nothing growing

parties‚ sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress. There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine‚ whether it is in the form of coffee or soft drinks‚ keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end‚ like other drugs. caffeine only leads to more stress. A better way to deal with stress is to exercise: Research has proved that physical exercise is a good release for stress‚ because it increases

TITLE: Caffeine PURPOSE: THESIS: I. Introduction: A. Attention Getter B. Preview: How many of you woke up this morning and had a cup of coffee‚ tea‚ or an energy drink? II. Body: A. 90% of people in the world use caffeine in one form or another. In the U.S. 80% of adults consume caffeine every day (FDA.GOV) . Caffeine whether it is consumed in a food or as medicine it changes the way your brain and body work and also changes how you behave and feel. Caffeine is a central

Method 1. Sterilise all of your equipment with ethanol‚ blue flame or disinfectant if you can flame it. 2. Collect all equipment together ensuring you collect your goggles and gloves as you are using a flame and gloves and goggles are part of safety precautions. (don’t wear gloves with messing with Bunsen burner only goggles‚ but use gloves when messing with chemicals ensuring goggles on all the time) 3. Clean your surface with disinfectant to sterilise your lab work surface‚ this will prevent
