Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water

may imprint on a child’s mind as what is normal. The child may start to believe that is all they are capable of and all attempts to the contrary are meaningless. A mindset established from a depressive mindset. The multiple generations displayed in Potato Eaters amplified this depressing‚ cathartic thought into the inescapable vile it takes its victims as. In a type of antithesis to the parents who works hard at something they love‚ the attitude helps make a difference between the children emerging

the four tissue types found in the human body. Describe an example of each type with their function and location. The four main tissues in the human body are connective‚ epithelium‚ muscle and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is an abundant nonliving extracellular matrix‚ located throughout the human body; such as the head‚ tendons‚ bone‚ and many more. It is the most widespread tissue in the human body and is the most durable tissue type. There are so many functions for this tissue‚ that it

Complex permanent tissue A complex permanent tissue may be classified as a group of more than one type of tissue having a common origin and working together as a unit to perform a function. These tissues are concerned with transportation of water‚ mineral‚ nutrients and organic substances. The important complex tissues in vascular plants are xylem‚ phloem. Complex permanent tissue is heterogeneous tissue which is formed of two or more than two types of mature cells of common origin which coordinate
