The Prickly Truth About Pineapples When you hear the word “pineapple”‚ what sort of imagery comes to mind? Many people will think of a round slice of pineapple sitting atop a holiday ham‚ garnished with a cherry. Others will picture enjoying a tropical cocktail from a curvy‚ elaborate glass‚ adorned with a miniature umbrella and a small chunk of pineapple hanging from the rim. However‚ it may surprise the majority of the population that pineapples are not native to the Pacific Islands. Even though

Guide Questions What effect does increasing the tension have on the number of segment formation? Explain your answer. According to a theory‚ changing the tension will definitely change the number of segments. From equation three‚ the frequency is directly proportional to the number of segments and the tension and inversely proportional to the mass density and the length of the wire. Manipulating the formula to solve for the number of segments‚ n‚ is inversely proportional to the tension‚ thus

Description: A peroxidase enzyme‚ which was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip)‚ is tested under various conditions in temperature‚ pH level‚ and competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). ABSTRACT: In order to determine the properties of an enzyme‚ a peroxidase enzyme was extracted from a brassica compestris (turnip) and tested under various temperatures‚ pH levels‚ and by a competitive inhibitor (hydroxylamine). The enzyme activity was measured in various ways depending on the activity

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Concrete Experience - (a new experience of situation is encountered‚ or a reinterpretation of existing experience). 2. Reflective Observation (of the new experience. Of particular importance are any inconsistencies between experience and understanding). 3. Abstract Conceptualization (Reflection gives rise to a new idea‚ or a modification of an existing abstract concept). 4. Active Experimentation (the learner applies them to the world around them to see what results). Kolb’s learning theory (1975)

Potato Enzyme Lab INTRODUCTION An enzyme is a protein that speeds up or slows down a specific chemical reaction in an organism. A good rule of thumb is to remember that enzyme names end in “-ase”. This will help in identifying enzymes in further readings. Generally enzymes are catalysts. Hydrogen peroxide is a toxic chemical that is produced in many organisms during metabolism. Organisms must get rid of this toxin to survive. One reaction turns the hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The

Taylor Hill Lab 6: Enzymes Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test for enzyme activity‚ look at enzyme specificity‚ and how temperature affects enzyme activity. Hypothesis: I believe that the room temperature activity will produce the most activity. Materials: 3% hydrogen peroxide‚ a household blender‚ potatoes (3 medium size potatoes‚ that are peeled and quartered)‚ tap water‚ 8 test tubes‚ 8 transfer pipets‚ sugar packets‚ salt‚ a small saucepan‚ a refrigerator with a freezer‚ stove

Enzyme are a very important component in living organisms. If enzymes did not exist than life itself would not exist (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). They help in many different ways that are useful to the body of living organisms. Enzyme are used to speed up chemical reactions (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). Through this process‚ they are considered very unique because they are not altered or consumed within the reaction (Lab Manual 3 pg. 1). This is why enzymes are considered biological catalysts. They also do not

Name : Andi Nadya Amanda Period : 4 Grade : 11 Enzyme Lab Report Question How heats effect the length of reaction time of an enzyme? Hypothesis I think the heat will make the length of reaction time of an enzyme become slowly. Heat is one of a way to denature the substrate. It means the heat will break down the structure of substrate in order the reaction of enzymes that we activated into it become slowly. Method for Collecting Data First I will record the length of reaction time
