AP Biology Lab: Catalase (Enzymes) Abstract In this laboratory exercise‚ studies of enzyme catalase‚ which accelerates the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The purpose was to isolate catalase from starch and measure the rate of activity under different conditions. The laboratory was also conducted in association with a second laboratory that measured the effects of an inhibitor on the enzymes. Changes in temperature and pH along with Substrate Concentration and Enzyme

oscillating by the means of a springs in parallel Motion sensor and photogate connected to Science workshop interface Non-linear springy objects (rubber bands) Two rectangular weights of ~0.5 kg each to change the mass of the system Procedure: The lab experiment was done in two parts. Part 1 of the experiment was done by 2 different methods. Method 1 was with a force sensor‚ springs‚ and a weight hanger in which masses of 100 gram increments were added (up to 600 grams). A force vs. displacement

Title- Protista Lab Concept- the concept of this lab was to explore what is in the pond water as living organisms and try to identify what it is. Some types of Protista are multi-cellular like giant kelp. Although they look much like plants‚ multi-cellular protists lack specialized tissues. Being eukaryotes‚ they have a membrane-bound true nucleus with linear chromosomes‚ and they have membrane-bound organelles. The kingdom Protista contains all eukaryotes that are not plants‚ animals‚ or fungi

University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90 min. Over time‚ the rate of osmosis was measured by calculating the weight of each artificial cell

good this time. We made 7 boxes for sale which was expected. I think‚ they all sold out. Recipe # 4: This time‚ we did not change our recipe at all. We followed all the steps in recipe # 3 but this time‚ we used the Univex mixing machine because we extended our recipe to 8 batches. Results of Recipe # 4: We got the same results as were expecting to get. Again cookies were tender‚ fluffy‚ soft inside‚ flavorful and nice color. No errors occurred. I think we did really good job this time too. We made

Describe what metal speciation is. How do the master variables of the environment relate to speciation? Why is speciation important in contaminant transport and in biological contexts? If you had to pick a third “master” variable‚ what would it be? Why is chemistry vital to understanding biological systems? Species refers to the form that a metal takes in the environment. This form can be a cation (ex: Fe2+) or anion form (ex: N3-)‚ or just a bonded form (ex: Fe2O3). Metal speciation‚ then‚ refers to

allow an object to move is dissipated into heat energy and will not return to the system once the movement stops. Specifically‚ this lab will calculate the coefficient of friction. Unlike most coefficients in Physics‚ friction behaves differently depending on whether the object is at rest or at motion.

know that all organisms consist of basic units of matter called atoms. When atoms are bonded together they make up a molecule. Often associated with nonliving things are inorganic molecules‚ and associated with organisms are biomolecules. Today in lab‚ a series of tests were ran. Tested were the biomolecules of cells which are lipids‚ sugars‚ proteins and starch. The purpose of these tests were to test for the presences of cellular biomolecules. Some of the things that fat consist of are one glycerol

number of antioxidant proteins have been described. These proteins are superoxide dismutase‚ catalase‚ glutathione peroxidase‚ glutathione S-transferase‚ and ferritin heavy chain etc. Oxidative stress has been implicated to both the onset and progression of type I and type II diabetes ( ). The consequence of ROS production is associated with the development of

can survive in extreme environments. Halobacteria are also useful by being a good organism to perform DNA transcription‚ translation‚ and transformation on (Kramer‚ 2006). There are two different types of Halobacteria that are being observed in this lab. The first is NRC-1‚ which is also called the wild type strain. Although the pigmentation of the Halobacteria is caused by the production of the membrane protein‚ bacteriorhodopsin‚ which is a red‚ the wild type strain is pink in color. This pink color
