Introduction In this lab‚ we experimented the effects of pH on the function of the enzyme catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that brings about the reaction by which hydrogen peroxide is decomposed to water and oxygen (Encyclopedia Britannica). The chemical reaction is shown as 2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2 (Keilin and Hartree 397). The reaction involves primarily the adsorption of hydrogen peroxide at the catalase surface. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase is regarded as involving

Acid Base Titration Purpose: The purpose is to calculate the molarity of a NaOH solution by titrating the base with 5mL of standard HCl solution in each trial. By adding the base with unknown molarity to the acid with 0.10M the molarity of NaOH can be calculated. The base‚ NaOH‚ helps bring the pH of the acid‚ HCl‚ closer to seven‚ which neutralizes it. When using the buret the amount of NaOH used is able to be determined. Then by writing a balanced chemical equation and using the titration

plant and animal cells are placed in a hypotonic environment‚ osmosis will occur. The structure of these cells determines the response to the difference in gradient‚ whether this be lysis (the explosion of cells due to the sudden increase in water pressure within the cell) in animal cells or turgor pressure (the pressure created by the increase in water pressure within the cell) in plant cells. Turgor pressure prevents further osmosis‚ which causes the water potential outside the cell to be lower

The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize

Topic: Osmosis Materials: Potato cylinders‚ 20 percent sodium chloride solution‚ three test-tubes‚ test-tube rack‚ scalpel blade‚ Gel ink pen‚ syringe-10cm^3‚ Plastic ruler with mm‚ tile‚ forceps filter paper‚ Masking tape. Method: 1) Three test-tubes‚ A‚ B and C were labeled and initials of experimenters were applied with the date: January 29‚ 2013. 2) A syringe was used to put 10cm^3 of water in tube A and 5cm^3 in tube B along with 5cm^ 20 percent sodium chloride solution and 10cm^3 20 percent

understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes as well as NaCl‚ urea‚ glucose‚ albumin‚ powdered charcoal‚ and KCl. The step by step process was used by the software so that we could see the different kinds of reactions. According to the data found‚ we found that with high molecular weight compounds are too large

was added to the funnel and shaken to mix the layers. The lower organic phase was drained into the Erlenmeyer flask and the aqueous phase out of the funnel. After that‚ the organic layer was returned to the separating funnel and washed with 15% NaCl solution. Anhydrous sodium sulfate was used as the drying agent and allowed the solution to stay for 15 minutes. The Erlenmeyer flask was weighed and the pipet was used to transfer the solution from the drying agent to the flask. Finally‚ the hood

concentrated area to a low concentrated area. Water is one molecule that can diffuse freely in a cell. Other molecules need assistance through the cell membrane through a process called facilitated diffusion. Osmosis moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. In osmosis water moves in the opposite way. Water flow is determined by the concentration‚ not the nature of the solute. There are a couple of things to consider for diffusion to work. The size of the cell‚ permeability
