Enzymes lower the amount of energy needed in a chemical reaction. This happens because enzymes are catalysts‚ so they speed up the activation rates that occur in living organisms. Without enzymes‚ it would be difficult to break down particles like food in the digestion system. Enzymes are all very specific to what chemical reactions they will work with‚ and the temperature‚ pH‚ and salt concentration have to be a specific levels in order for the enzyme to function. The structure of each enzyme has

Polymerase chain reaction The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a biochemical technology in molecular biology to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude‚ generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis‚ PCR is now a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications. These include DNA cloning for sequencing‚ DNA-based phylogeny

The effects of Visual Distraction on Reaction Time Abstract Distraction has been associated with affecting human reaction time. These associations have been obtained from studies focusing on drivers in particular. Driver distraction is very common nowadays and it is associated with many car crashes (Governors Highway Safety Association‚ 2011). Distraction can take forms in visual‚ cognitive‚ auditory and manual handling of the vehicle. In this study the aim was to test the effects of visual

experiment the objective was to perform a Diels-Alder reaction using cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride to synthesize the product‚ cis-Norbornene-5‚6-endo-dicarboxylic anhydride. The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry and was first investigated by Otto Diels and Kurt Alder in Germany. It is a [4+2] concerted cycloaddition reaction which involves a diene and a dienophile. The Diel-Alder reaction are mainly used for creating new carbon-carbon bonds‚ mostly

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to: determine the limiting reactant of a chemical reaction that involves iron filings and a copper sulfate solution. Second‚ to determine the mole ratios between iron and copper and to show that a single replacement reaction occurs when iron and copper sulfate react with each other. And lastly‚ to determine/calculate the percent yield to better analyze the chemical reaction between iron and copper sulfate to produce copper and iron sulfate. The method used to

Summary This experiment will measure the rate of oxidation of iodide ions by persulphate ions to derive the rate law for the reaction. Starch will be added to the reaction to facilitate the measure of time during the reaction. The reactant solutions will contain (NH4)2SO4 and KI‚ represented as: (NH4)2S2O8 + 2KI -> I2 + (NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 This can be simplified to: S2O82- + 2I- -> I2 + 2SO42- These equations can only be carried out and be visible after the iodine has completely
