Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The objective of this experiment was to determine if changes in pH or temperature affected the activity of enzymes‚ specifically the enzyme sucrase. Enzymes are protein molecules that act as biological catalysts to increase the speed of the reaction or to lower the activation energy of that reaction. However‚ the activity of an enzyme can be affected by physical factors such as pH and temperature because these factors alter the structure of the enzyme (Freeman‚ 2011)

The gaseous hormone ethylene has been shown to influence a diverse array of plant growth and developmental processes‚ thus it is critical for plants to optimize the ethylene production at developmental transitions as well as during stress response. Ethylene is derived from the amino acid methionine‚ which in the first step is converted to S-adenosyl-methionine (AdoMet) by AdoMet synthetase3‚4. The 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic acid Synthase (ACS) catalyzes the conversion of AdoMet to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic

Maria Ruiz Feb.7‚ 2012 Bio. Report Problem: Dows light intensity and wavelength affect Photosynthesis? Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. It produces sugar and other organic compounds such as lipids and proteins. The sugars are then used to provide

Rachel Bohnenberger Professor Van Doorn ENVS 150-002 27 April 2015 GMOs Lab Report Introduction As the population of Earth increases exponentially‚ so does the demand for more food. One of the solutions to the question of how more food can be produced is Genetically Modified Organisms‚ or GMOs. There is an ongoing debate about whether or not GMOs are more beneficial or harmful to society. Some of the benefits to GMOs are: growing plants‚ such as corn‚ that are resistant to weeds and pests‚ larger

Osmosis Lab Report Hypothesis: Osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The higher the solute in solvent‚ then there will be a higher rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We

Corte Madera Scientific Report Abstract I examine how rising or falling tide can affect the water level of Corte Madera Salt Marsh in this report. The data is from Wednesday (June 19th) and Thursday (June 20th). My hypothesis is that tide and water level have positive relationship. From the result‚ I learn that the water level and tide have positive relationship. However‚ when tide changes its direction‚ the water level is likely to stay or little change. Introduction On June 19th‚ my

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

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

brain is done through neurons of various sorts‚ sending action potentials through various regions. Each region in the brain will have specific activity when specific exercises are done. For example‚ when the eye registers an image in the retina‚ a series of action potentials are sent through the optic nerve‚ through various brain structures‚ including the lateral geniculate nuclei‚
