that with all of the buzz about organic foods that we have available‚ that we would slowly be getting better with our weight as a country.

So now that we know that lets look at the second half of that equation‚ Fast Food! Now as much as people criticize the fast food industry it’s convenient and

How does pH affect the activity of the Amylase? Abstract: In my experiment I aimed to observe how ranging pH levels will affect the rate in which amylase will break down the starch molecules. I will be measuring the time it takes for the dark liquid to disappear and leave a yellow brown liquid to be shown‚ which would show that there is no starch present in the solution because it would have broken into maltose by adding amylase. Results did not fully demonstrate what we expected in our hypothesis

and Reece‚ 2002). 1 Figure 1 Enzymes are granted the task of breaking bonds within the monomers of substrate‚ the molecule upon which the enzyme is acting. When the substrate and the enzyme bind‚ the substrate-enzyme complex is formed. The substrate binds to the enzyme’s active site‚ which is the part of the protein in which the enzyme fits. Scientists have introduced multiple models that attempt to illustrate exactly how the enzyme and substrate fit together (See figure 1). In the lock and key

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to test if altering the pH of the milk will trigger a hydrophobic reaction. It will also give me a better understanding of the scientific method‚ hydrophobic reactions‚ and how pH affects substances. If the vinegar and salt are added to the heated milk‚ then the milk will curdle. I came to this conclusion based on common knowledge and the text introducing the experiment. I have not made cheese at home before‚ but I have made Hamburger Helper meals

asking yourself this question. “Should you buy the organic product or just the regular one?” People that support and follow the organic food industry say the food tastes better‚ is safer‚ healthier for you but when most are faced with the decision the price is just too much to overcome and empty your wallet for so people normally don’t go with the organic choice. One of the biggest problems are if you’re paying all of the money for organic food everyone would assume (or hope) that the quality

IB1 Chemistry Practical #8 ANALYSIS OF ASPIRIN TABLETS For a long time the bark of the willow tree (salix alba) was used as a traditional medicine to relieve the fever symptoms of malaria. In the 1860’s chemists showed that the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) and by 1870 salicylic acid was in wide use as a pain killer (analgesic) and fever depressant (antipyretic). However‚ because it is a relatively strong acid‚ salicylic acid has the undesirable side effect
