This lab is adapted from the canned denatured pineapple experiment. Instead of investigating the effect of canning on enzyme activity‚ we look for the presence of the substrate. This is a useful teaching lab for all the criteria and requires very few resources. Background Information: Gelatin is made from a protein called collagen which comes from the joints of animals. Gelatin may be dissolved in hot water. As the dissolved gelatin mixture cools‚ the collagen forms into a matrix that

This lab report will be detailing the steps taken and the results discovered when using spectrophotometry to determine the percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating

Effect of enzyme concentration on rate of reaction Research question: is there a relationship between catalase concentration and the rate of reaction? Hypotheses: if the enzyme concentration is increased then the rate of reaction will increase. If the enzyme concentration is decreased then the rate of reaction will decrease. Controlled: temperature Independent: % catalyze concentration ( Dependent: rate of reaction (mm/s) Materials: Mortar and pestle Graduated cylinder Distilled

Biology Lab Scientific Paper Down syndrome is a condition in which a person has an extra chromosome. Chromosomes are small “packages” of genes in the body. They determine how a baby’s body forms during pregnancy and how the baby’s body functions as it grows in the womb and after birth. Usually‚ a baby is born with 46 chromosomes but babies with Down syndrome have an extra copy of one of these chromosomes‚ chromosome 21. A medical term for having an extra copy of a chromosome is trisomy. Down syndrome

CHAPTER 4: ENZYMES Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are about 40‚000 different enzymes in human cells‚ each controlling a different chemical reaction. They increase the rate of reactions by a factor of between 106 to 1012 times‚ allowing the chemical reactions that make life possible to take place at normal temperatures. They were discovered in fermenting yeast in 1900 by Buchner‚ and the name enzyme means "in yeast". As well as catalysing all the metabolic reactions of cells (such as respiration

Synthesis of Butyl Benzoate Using Phase Transfer Catalysis The objective of the experiment is to synthesize the butly benzoate by nucleophilic substitution and characterize it by IR spectroscopy. The percent yield of the final product is determined after the synthesis. Procedures: 2.0 mL of 1-bromobutane‚ 3.0 g of sodium benzoate‚ 5.0 mL of water‚ 4 drops of Aliquat 336‚ and a boiling stone were placed in a 50mL round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and the flask

LAB REPORT Introduction: In a chemical change‚ the identities of substances change and new substances form. In an equation the substances on the left are the reactants. The substances on the right are the products. In this experiment the objectives are to observe evidence that a chemical change has taken place. Infer from observations that a new substance has been formed. Identify and record observations that show energy is involved in chemical change observe the color‚ solubility of some substances

That‚ plus the fact that all the starting and finishing materials are non hazardous and safe‚ is why this is one of the first chemical reactions that many people are exposed to The purpose of this experiment tests which of the two reactants (vinegar and baking soda) is the limited

BIO 110 Lab 1 The Scientific Method Exercise 1 1. Based on the information in Table 2‚ the patterns I observed were that were 2ppm of Dissolved Oxygen added each time and there was 1 fish less than the amount of Dissolved Oxygen‚ then 4 fish less‚ then 3 fish less‚ then 4 fish less‚ than 5 fish less. I think that the fish can handle the amount of Dissolved Oxygen to an extent then the population falls‚ but then starts to build back up. I also think that if the population is a bigger number
