AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

nitrogen oxide. The production of a gas makes this a gas formation reaction as well. It is also important to note that NO2 is one of the main contributors of air pollution. Then‚ the first step of the cycle was complete once the solution turned to a light blue color as copper nitrate. For the second step of the cycle‚ copper nitrate with the addition of sodium hydroxide is altered to form copper hydroxide. The balanced equation was Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) -> Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) while the total

How does photosynthesis model the Law of Conservation of Matter and The Law of Conservation of Energy? Photosynthesis models the Law of Conservation of Matter and the Law of Conservation of Energy‚ and there is evidence from some articles that were read to prove this statement. First‚ the Law of Conservation of Matter is modeled in photosynthesis‚ because in the Photosynthesis for Kids article it stated‚”Photosynthesis occurs when Chlorophyll‚ a green pigment that collects lights‚ consumes radiant

Spectrophotometer” lab was to use a spectrophotometer to find the relationship of concentration and absorbance obeying the Beer-Lambert law‚ which states concentration and absorbance are directly related‚ to then further determine the concentration of three unknown solutions. With the assumption that the solutions obey the Beer-Lambert law it is predicted that as concentration increases‚ absorbance will increase as well. A spectrophotometer is a device that uses a light source of all visible light along with

“Respiration” and “Photosynthesis” All life depends on two chemical reactions “Respiration” and “Photosynthesis”. These two processes are quite crucial because they are a source to nearly all life on Earth. Both of these processes are quite similar yet differentiate vastly. In this essay I’ll be comparing and contrasting “Photosynthesis” and “Respiration”. I’ll start by discussing what actually happens

Synthesis of Tetraphenylcylopentadienone Post-Lab Report Purpose- This experiment illustrates the use of adol condensation for the synthesis of a five-membered carbocylic ring. It is also a good demonstration of the impact extended conjugation has on the absorption of visible light. The reactants are bright yellow in color while the products are a very deep purple color appearing almost black. Introduction- The synthesis of Tetraphanylcyclopentadienone was a further example of the adol

Chemotherapeutic Agents of Control: Introduction: Chemotherapeutic agents are chemical substances used to treat various forms of infectious diseases. The chemotherapeutic agent works by stopping the bacteria from reproducing. There are two different kinds of chemotherapeutic agents. The first kind is an antibiotic‚ which slow down the growth of microorganisms. The second kind of chemotherapeutic agent is synthetic drugs. Synthetic drugs are artificially made in a laboratory.
