Respiration: How Cells Harvest Chemical Energy 1. A cell must work just to maintain its complex structure‚ for order is intrinsically unstable. Because of entropy (the second law of thermodynamics)‚ which states that any enclosed system tends toward disorganization‚ cells must constantly use energy to keep themselves in order. If the cell was to stop using energy and let itself go then it would eventually get so disorganized that it wouldn’t function properly. 2. With the help of enzymes‚ the

McLean 1 Creating Acetylene Gas Introduction The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel

Observations of Chemical Changes Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe chemical changes in common consumer products to determine if the chemicals are basic‚ acidic‚ or remain neutral when mixed with other chemicals. Procedure: In this experiment‚ various chemicals were mixed together‚ to determine a reaction. Using two drops from chemical 1 and two drops of chemical two‚ unless otherwise stated‚ then recording the type of physical reaction or color changes that occurred.

cheese. Lactic acid bacteria(LAB)‚ a bacteria that can be found in the production of cheese‚ its stress gene was investigated in the experiment by using various biochemical and genetic techniques to identify and extract. The characterisation of the strain illustrates how identification of strains differ using different methods‚ such as gram stain and 16s rRNA screening. After the characterisation‚ the stress gene isolation assist the further understanding of the gene on LAB be giving different stress

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 formula‚ Nb+Ma+Va=Na+MbVb ‚ the molarity is able to be determined. Procedure: 1) Using the graduated cylinder add 10.0 mL of water into the Erlenmeyer flask. 2) Add 5.0 mL of HCl into the flask using another

Changes in Physical Properties on Enzyme Activity By Alex Hoffmann First Individual Lab Report Wednesday 7:30-10:15pm 10/24/12 Meghan Duell Abstract The goal of this lab was to determine the effects of certain physical properties on enzyme activity. Enzyme activity was measured by the height of the bubbles that appeared after the enzyme was added which are proportional to the rate of the reaction when time is constant. The fact that enzyme activity is affected by physical properties such
