Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

Alka-Seltzer Rocket Formal Lab Report Abstract In the Alka-Seltzer Rocket lab one was to experimentally determine how much (grams) Alka-Seltzer and water in mL‚ is needed to launch the rocket the highest/longest distance in cm. Also to experimentally determine the % NaHCO3 in the tablet using the information from the highest/longest distance. Calculate the error and % error of NaHCO3 in an Alka-Seltzer tablet and to determine the limiting reagent for the highest/longest distance traveled. Alka-Seltzer

ABSTRACT: This lab allows us to observe the conversion of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen gas. An enzyme known as catalase facilitates this decomposition reaction. The catalase enzyme acts as catalysis‚ helping lower the energy needed to activate the reaction while the enzyme itself is not affected. Catalase is a digestive enzyme used to break down hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a normal byproduct of cellular respiration. The reaction could take place without the help of catalase‚ but

Zach Sexton December 4‚ 2014 Bot 121 Lab Coleus Lab Report 1. A cutting can form an entire new plant if cutting being used has a meristem. If the cutting has no meristem‚ mitosis will not occur and you will end up with a dead piece of plant material. In order to successfully grow a new plant through a cutting‚ your plant must have adventitious root growth which in order to deliver water and nutrients to the plant. Adventitious roots are created through cell potency where cells differentiate. The

Lalin Candium Lab Report Chemistry Block H Mr. Neil Chipman Calculating the Atomic Mass for Different Candium Isotopes Objective: In this experiment I will be discovering the atomic weight of Candium isotopes. By doing this experiment‚ it helps us to know how to calculate the relative abundance and atomic mass of each Candium isotopes without having to use the spectrometer. This lab will achieve my understanding of isotopes and why it has different masses but same number of protons due

Enzyme lab report. Introduction. An enzyme is a protein molecule that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions by many folds. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change thus can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy also known as an energy barrier is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. Catecholase catalyzes the reaction rate of catechol oxidation. Catechol is found beneath the skin of many plants such

The Variation of Yeast Cells When Adding an Antibiotic Biology 1401- A October 21‚ 2013 Abstract. -- The main focus in this experiment was to find out if antibiotics affect yeast cells culture when added. The observation of the two cultures along with the yield of yeast cell reproduction between the two cultures was the sole purpose of the experiment; culture-A (- antibiotic) and culture-B (+ antibiotic). Our hypothesis stated whether antibiotic effects yeast cells cultures. This theory was
