Kathleen Kramas Cells and Heredity Lab Tuesday 2:00-4:50 22 OCTOBER 2012 Membrane Permeability Decreases as Molecular Size Increases Introduction: Red blood cells are vital to organisms functioning properly. They are microscopic cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues throughout the body. Upon transporting oxygen‚ red blood cells also exports waste‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ to the lungs where it can be expelled. Red blood cells are made up of hemoglobin which is surrounded by a

Benjamin Kleveland 502 October 26‚ 2014 Lab 7 Report Lights Distance and Wavelength Effect on Photosynthesis Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are often mistaken as the same thing. Although they are similar in many ways‚ photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the exact opposite of each other. Not figuratively‚ but literally the reverse (Photosynthesis). They incorporate the others products while adding some outside energy to create a never ending cycle. This brings us to the photochemical

the process. Each enzyme has a region on its surface‚ called the active site‚ which recognizes a specific substrate molecule. The substrate is chemically attached to the active site and binds an enzyme-substrate complex. With the use of a spectrophotometer‚ the absorbance is recorded and the rate of reaction is observed when differing amounts of substrate and

Abstract on Determining the Photosynthetic Activity in Plants Using Different Wavelengths of Light using Chromatography and a Spectrophotometer In this experiment‚ the separation of particular pigments‚ contained within a fresh spinach leaf‚ were examined. Paper chromatography is the process of separating certain molecules‚ or pigment molecules‚ based upon their polarity. Four different pigments were examined from the spinach leaf: chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and carotene. Based

African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

temperatures of 4oC‚ Room Temperature‚ 32oC‚ 48oC and boiling; then‚ at pH 3‚ pH 5‚ pH 7 and pH 9; and‚ finally‚ with the competitive inhibitor‚ hydroxylamine. We were able to measure enzymatic activity by the change in absorbance per second with a spectrophotometer. By testing different concentrations of peroxidase and its reaction rate in seconds‚ we were able to see that as the amount of enzyme increased the catalytic reaction also increased. The optimal amount of peroxidase concentration to be used

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Boiling‚ and Hydroxylamine on the Enzyme Peroxidase Extracted From Brassica rapa Abstract In this experiment the enzyme peroxidase was extracted from from a turnip‚ Brassica rapa‚ and tested under different conditions. The effects of temperature‚ boiling‚ pH‚ and a competitive inhibitor were tested. The enzyme was tested at temperatures of 4°C‚ 24°C‚ 32°C‚ and 48°C. As the temperature increased‚ so did the activity of the enzyme
