Purpose The purpose of this catalase lab is to design simple experiments to demonstrate how various factors affect the rate of enzyme activity. This lab shows how the enzyme decomposes in hydrogen peroxide. Methods and Materials Refer to handout attached to the back of lab Observations Table 1: The mL of oxygen produced with increase of catalase 30secs 60secs 90secs 120secs 150secs 180secs Disks: 2 17ml 16ml 21ml 26ml 31ml 35ml Disks: 4 8ml 19ml 27ml 35ml 44ml 53ml

Kristen Sierman Lab Report: Experiment #7 Group #4 October 16th‚ 2012 Forces on a Pulley System A. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this lab was to address the following questions: how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driving objects? And how does the acceleration of a pulley system depend on the mass of the driven object? To achieve this‚ a dynamic track was set up with a string attached to a cart. The string was part of a pulley system (the pulley

Lab 1 1. The white charge producer has a positive (+) polarity. The blue charge producer has a negative (-) polarity. 2. The positive charge builds significantly then remains as the charge producer is removed. 3. The negative charge builds significantly then remains as the charge producer is removed. 4. When the white charge producer is lowered then removed from the ice pail with out touching the positive charge builds then drops when the charger is removed. 5. When the ice pail

Energy Lab On November 13th‚ we did a lab to learn about energy. The definition of Kinetic Energy is energy of movement. The definition of Gravitational Potential Energy is energy in an object due to its positioning. The question that we had to answer was whether of not we could calculate the Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy of various objects in different locations. To do this lab we had to first weigh the given objects. For this time‚ we weighed : a marble‚ a bouncy ball‚

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

Yak Lab Natural selection is the process by which favorable heritable traits become more common in successive generations of a population of reproducing organisms‚ and unfavorable heritable traits become less common. Natural selection acts on the phenotype‚ or the observable characteristics of an organism‚ such that individuals with favorable phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with less favorable phenotypes. If all the offspring that organisms can produce were to survive

The independent variable in this lab is the molarity of sucrose each dialysis bag is filled with. The time (30 minutes)‚ the temperature (23C) and the type of dialysis tubing used are all constants. 2. The dependent variable is the final mass of the dialysis bag. 3. The control in the experiment is distilled water‚ as it does not contain sucrose solution. C. MATERIALS NEEDED 4. Five 30 cm strips of dialysis tubing 5. Five clear plastic cups

Lab Report Background Information: Magnesium is an alkaline earth metal that has the symbol Mg. Magnesium is a fairly strong‚ silvery-white‚ light-weight metal (one third lighter than aluminum). In a powder‚ it heats and ignites when exposed to moisture and burns with a white flame that is harmful to the eyes. It is difficult to ignite in bulk‚ but once ignited‚ it is difficult to extinguish. Magnesium Ribbon is a long strip of magnesium metal about 3 millimeters wide and 10 meters long with
