Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight are solid and have low vapor pressure which have less molecules that allow us to smell it (Staudt 80). When H in the carboxyl group is replaced with an alkyl group‚ it becomes an ester group. “The reaction typically gives 60-70% of the maximum yield” (Staudt

turesRule of Mixtures Composite stiffness can be predicted using a micro-mechanics approach termed the rule of mixtures. Assumptions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. Perfect bonding between fibers and matrix. Matrix is free of voids. Applied loads are either parallel or normal to the fiber direction. Lamina is initially in a stress-free state (no residual stresses). Fiber and matrix behave as linearly elastic materials. Longitudinal Modulus Equal strain

Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance

Enzymes Lab Report Inroduction In this lab we explore an enzymes activity and how it can be affected by changes to its environment. An enzyme is a protein and is a catalyst to chemical reactions. It helps accelerate reactions by lowering the activation energy‚ which is needed for reactions in cells to progress at a higher rate. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding products from a given set of reactants. (Unit 7: Enzymes lab) Products

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Title: Observation of Macroscopic Chemical Changes‚ Alice Kimbrell‚ Chemistry 101-DS01:74589‚ 5/31/2013. Purpose: In this lab‚ I will observe macroscopic changes that occur when mixing together certain chemicals and household cleaners. The mixing of the chemicals provided with each other and with acid/base indicators demonstrates how matter can change‚ and how chemistry can be seen with the naked eye. By mixing household cleaners with an acid/base indicator I hope to demonstrate how these
