Describe how the uses of plant fibres and starch may contribute to sustainability How can plant fibres be used? First of all the plant fibres have to be extracted from the plant itself. The process of extraction often used is called retting. Retting involves using water or micro-organisms to dissolve or rot away the cellular tissues surrounding the bast-fibre bundles. Afterwards the fibres are obtained; usually they extract very long sclerenchyma cells and xylem tissue because of their good

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to test how objects slightly acidic or slightly basic will affect the way catalase‚ the enzyme tested‚ denatures‚ or breaks down. Hypothesis: If the potato is acidic‚ it will react with the H2O2 more than it will with the raw‚ plain potato because the acid will denature the enzyme faster. The manipulated/independent variable is the raw‚ plain potato while the responding/dependent variable is the other types of potatoes used in the experiment. Materials:

What pH Level Causes a Plant to Grow Best Alexis Chavez‚ Heather Nutt‚ Nguyen Phan Introduction We knew that water is normally stated as the best form of liquid to make sure plants grow as best as they can‚ but we wanted to know if causing the water to be more basic or more acidic would affect how the plant grew. Our hypothesis was that if the plant is treated with a pH of 12 then treated with another pH. Materials The materials used were three identical plants‚ that each had 4 sections that were

what causes starch to thicken or thin which is relevant to obtaining the desired viscosity for recipes that involve starch cookery without complication. Factors to be considered in the thickening power of cornstarch include the concentration of starch‚ extent of gelatinization thus temperature and duration of heat‚ and the addition of sugar or salt (1). Background Gelatinization‚ a physical change‚ occurs when starch is heated in water. Due to the solubility of the amylose in the starch granule

determining the effects of pH on enzyme activity show that as the independent variable‚ pH‚ increases the dependent variable‚ percentage transmission‚ decreases. This is shown in the results as at the lowest pH‚ pH 4.0 the average percentage transmission is at its highest at 97%. At the highest pH‚ pH 8.0 the average transmission is 78.5%. This is also supported from the graph as it produces a negative gradient showing that as the percentage transmission will decrease with an increasing pH. This happens because

least difficult sort of starch. Sugars are a wellspring of vitality for your phone’s‚ frame a portion of bigger‚ more perplexing particles‚ and give vitality stockpiling. Since your body rapidly processes sugars‚ they additionally give you a fast wellspring of vitality. There are three sorts of sugars. The three different types of sugars are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides otherwise called basic sugars‚ is the least difficult starch structure. When all is said

Bean Growth with Different pH Levels Through this experiment‚ the objective was to find which pH liquid created the best environment for the Mung beans to grow. First‚ the beans were placed into bags with different pH liquids. Then‚ measurements were taken each day to monitor the growth average of the beans. The pH 2 beans average size at the end of the experiment were 0.24 cubic centimeters‚ the pH 7 size average was 0.38 cubic centimeters‚ and the size average of the pH 2 beans was 0.24 cubic centimeters

Research Question: To investigate how varying the pH of bromothymol blue affects the absorbance value of the solution which determines the equilibrium constant (pKa) of the indicator. Variables: Variables Variables Measured Method of measurement Independent pH of the six buffer solution A pH probe attached to a data-logger will be used to measure pH Dependent Absorption of the buffer solutions at wavelength 435.0nm and 617.0 nm A spectrophotometer (±0.001) will be used to measure absorbance

Title: “The Effect of Substrate Concentration‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity” Abstract: In the following experiments we will measure precise amounts of potato extract as well as Phenylthiourea‚ combined with or without deionized water and in some instances change the temperature and observe and record the reaction. We will also investigate the different levels of prepared pH on varying samples of the potato extract and the Phenylthiourea and record the results.
