Investigation on Effects of Different pH on Enzyme Activity How does the different pH buffers affect activity of potato enzyme/extract? Introduction: Proteins are polymers that are made up of smaller units/monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids‚ thus make up many different combinations in types‚ numbers of amino acids as well as their orders – an explanantion for why there are so many proteins. Every protein‚ due to various reactions of amino acids to each

After 4 gram stains‚ the slide was blot dried and observed under microscope at 100x with oil immersion. The slide either appear in pink (gram-negative) or purple (gram-positive). Catalase Test: Catalase test enzyme detection of microorganisms‚ catalase hydrolysis hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into H2O and O2. The catalase test was performed by used a sterile transfer loop been flamed to remove small amount of bacteria from slant agar and placed on the slide. Then

Observing Osmosis in Potato Cells Planning Purpose: To observe the effect of osmosis on plant cells. Hypothesis: The higher the salt content of the water‚ the lower the mass of the potato. Variables: Independent: the salt percentage of the solution Dependent: the weight of the potato in grams Controlled: the amount of water the length of time between measurements the method of measuring the type of plant cells tested Equipment: (as seen on 2A Human Biology task sheet)

America’s Great Potato Baron Eric Schlosser’s biography “Fast Food Nation: Why the Fries Taste Good” explains how this invention started out of a simple potato by a man named John R. Simplot who was raised on a farm‚ un-educated and by his own account‚ left home at a young age. According to Eric Schlosser’s claim‚ “John Richard Simplot‚ America’s great potato baron‚ whose seemingly inexhaustible energy and willingness to take risk built an empire base on French fries” (Schlosser par. 2).

distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions 5% NaCl and 10% NaCl would have shriveled cells. This is because the solution is hypertonic and water is leaving the potato out into the solution.

Enzyme Activators and Inhibitors Lucia House AP Biology‚ Block 4 Mr. Trice October 18‚ 2012 Introduction: Metabolism is the totality of all of an organism’s chemical reactions. Chemical reactions occur due to enzymes‚ a substance which acts as a catalyst in driving chemical reactions in order to produce a desired product (Campbell and Reece‚ 2002). A catalyst is usually a protein; however‚ some catalytic molecules counter this generalization. A discovery made in the early nineteen- nineties

In the wonderful article “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience”‚ the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihaly looks at several different methods at how people find enjoyment and enhance their overall quality of life. There are two main strategies we can adopt to improve the quality of life‚ says Csikszentmihalyi‚ and we tend to talk about each concept interchanging from one another. Pleasure is something that we seek through expectations set by natural projects or by social molding. We tend to seek

TOY: MR. POTATO HEAD! Since the time of my childhood I have been exposed to hundreds of toys and games. However‚ only a few stand out in my memory and even fewer still remain in my possession today. There are many toys in America‚ which are known by all ages‚ nationalities‚ and social classes. Toys such as Barbie‚ Legos‚ Cabbage Patch Kids‚ GI Joe‚ and many more are well known commodities‚ which have been in existence since before my time. Although there are numerous toys I can remember
