and familiarize ourselves with their taxonomic levels through the organism’s mechanisms of feeding‚ motility‚ and reproduction. Our group used the prior knowledge we possessed about the Hydra‚ Rotifer‚ Gammarus‚ and Planaria organisms to complete the lab. We knew that all of these small invertebrates have a freshwater habitat. Each organism differs in taxonomic levels from Genus to Species. We knew that the Hydra reproduces with one of two methods: 1) by “budding” which is an asexual method of reproduction

it contains a higher activity level of protease‚ amylase‚ lipase‚ cellulose and also includes six other enzymes. The higher activity levels assists in digesting more proteins‚ fats‚ carbohydrates and fiber. Enzymes are one of the most essential elements in our body. Enzymes are energized protein molecules found in all living cells. They catalyze and regulate all biochemical reactions that occur within our body. Enzymes also play a part in digestion. They break down proteins‚ fats‚ carbohydrates and

Nervous System lab was designed to measure reaction times by using a variety of tests that affect the heart rate. These tests were the startle‚ stroop‚ Valsalva maneuver‚ diving reflex‚ and a test of our choice. The test our group chose to measure the heart rate in response to doing a trust fall to anticipate the stress right before the fall. To begin this lab we chose a participant‚ and then hooked their finger up to the pulse transducer sensor. Using the chart 5 program on the lab computer the participant’s

Introduction Chemical kinetics is the study of reaction rates. A reaction rate is the speed of the change in either reactants or products over a period of time. General kinetic rate equation is: Where [A] and [B] are the concentration of the species in the reaction. The variable k is the rate constant‚ which is a function of time and catalyst presence. The variables m and n are the order of reaction for their respective species concentration. The higher the value of the reaction order the

In this lab we are going to be observing the decomposition of piglets over a month’s time. There are theory questions that have been given to us before and after the lab. We look back at our original theory to see where we went wrong‚ and then correct it. The lab was disgusting‚ surprising‚ and very interesting. The first questioned to be answered is which piglet decomposes faster‚ a piglet that is in its natural state‚ that is burnt‚ that is buried‚ and that is buried in a wooden box? With

Amylase is found in the saliva of humans and is responsible for the first step in breaking down starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of a large number glucose monomers joined together. Amylase breaks down starch by separating the glucose molecules into maltose‚ which is a two glucose-unit compound. (Morgan‚ 2008) During this experiment we investigated the influence of pH on the activity of the enzyme Amylase. We are able to use the fact that when I2KI

Upon further incubation a white ring of litmus forms at the bottom of the tube at the pink-red color is now present only at the top of the tube. Still further incubation leads to the formation of a rennet curd at the bottom of the

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

and bacterial amylase‚ as well as the optimal temperature needed for the enzyme to correlate with the bacteria and fungi. The enzyme’s break down within the starch was observed through different temperatures and time periods. The Starch was placed in both the fungal and bacterial amylase where they were then placed on spot plates. Through the iodine test‚ it was concluded whether the breakdown of starch occurred or not. The experiment
