Potato Catalysis Lab Pre-Lab Assignment Background Information: An enzyme is catalytic protein. It is the most important type of molecule found in living cells. Cells would not be able to function without enzymes. Enzymes speed up or slow down chemical reactions of the cells. It is usually easy to identify the names of enzymes because they end in -ase. The enzyme that acts upon the substrate hydrogen peroxide is usually called catalase. This enzyme is found in both plants and animals

THE IRISH POTATO FAMINE Pre-Famine History The potato was introduced to Europe sometime in the 16th century. There are many theories on how it arrived‚ but the one with the most credibility is from a case study done by Theresa Purcell. She explains how the white potato‚ also known as the Irish potato‚ originated in the Andean Mountains and was brought to Europe by the Spaniards. The potato was originally classified in the same family as the poisonous nightshade so people refrained from eating

Osmosis of a Potato cell. Hypothesis is that the potato in saltwater is going to show that it will break down the cells of the potato. Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane‚ from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration‚ up a solute concentration gradient. Net movement of solvent is from the less-concentrated to the more-concentreated.‚ which tends to redure the difference in concentrations. This effect can be countered

Surface Tension of Water I. Purpose How does adding soap to water change its surface tension? II. Background Adhesion is the bond between two substances of different makeups. In water‚ adhesion allows it to stick to other surfaces. Cohesion is the bond between two of the same substances. A hydrogen bond is a type of cohesion in water in which the hydrogen atoms of one water molecule being attracted to the oxygen atom of another water molecule. In water‚ each molecule in the middle is pulled

Introduction In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region

In the early 1800s life in Ireland wasn’t easy‚ Irish citizens got by day to day by farming and relying on the potato. The potato was their main source of food and money. With out the potato the Irish would have nothing. No one was prepared for what was about to happen in 1845‚ the beginning of the Great Irish Potato Famine. The Irish Potato Famine was the worst tragedy in the history of Ireland. The outcome of the famine would result in hundreds of thousands dead‚ an failure of the economy

Ice Cube-Colour Blind Colour blind is a song that belonged to a rapper‚ Ice Cube. In this song‚ Ice Cube has delivered a message that different shades of life cannot be seen by people‚ rather they see the entire world to be either black or white in colour. People have developed a white and black thinking mindset. People perceive things either as positive or negative. In other words‚ this song represents the lack of variation and diversity that makes the life of an individual to be completely sustainable

2. How is the colour related to surface temperature of the star? The correlation between the surface temperature of a star and its colour is due to the phenomena known as black body radiation .A star is a black body‚where it aborbs all the radiation falling upon it.AS its temperatures gets hotter thanits surrounding‚the star radiates its on electromagnetic radiation‚known as black body radiation. This radiation is distributed unevenly but contionously through multiple wavelengths of the electromagnetic
