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

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

Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis

This was conducted through four different experiments. The first tested the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. The independent variable in the first experiment was the temperature of the solution of pH 7 buffer‚ potato juice‚ and the enzyme. The independent variable for the second experiment was the pH of the phosphate buffer. The independent variable for the third experiment was the enzyme concentration of the solution‚ and finally the independent variable of the

B. Yeats‚ 1921 TEACHER ’S INTRODUCTION Between 1845 and 1850‚ more than a million Irish people starved to death while massive quantities of food were being exported from their country. A half million were evicted from their homes during the potato blight‚ and a million and a half emigrated to America‚ Britain and Australia‚ often on-board rotting‚ overcrowded "coffin ships". This is the story of how that immense tragedy came to pass. The necessary historical and political context for a

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen

The Irish Potato Famine occurred in Ireland in 1845 to 1849‚ when the potato harvest failed. A disease that destroys the edible parts of potato plants known as Late Blight caused the unsuccessful crop. The Irish Potato Famine was the worst famine to occur in Europe in the 19th century. Almost fifty percent of the Irish population had become dependent on potatoes in their diet‚ but the entire population consumed the crop in large quantities‚ especially the rural and the poor. The Potato was very susceptible
