BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

centrifuging a controlled sample of one of the ions or anions combined with one of the reagents such as NaCl. It was found that it could be separated out after centrifuging and would result in a sample without the ions or anions if it precipitated. With the data from week one a method of adding the reagents in a certain order would result in the ability to separate all ions or anions out of a solution. Overall‚ knowing how the cations or anions reacted with certain reagents benefited greatly to determine

Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

A. Avril Crayfish Lab Report November 9‚ 2012 Dr. Marvin Results: Figure 1. Firing Rate of Tonic Receptor in Response to Stretch. The correlation between Firing Rate and Stretch of the slow adapting crayfish receptor for four different sets of data is represented in this figure. The recordings are taken at stretches of 2‚ 4‚ 6‚ 8‚ and 10 mm of the crayfish tail. The best fit lines for the different sets of data are as follows: Ali and Emily- Linear best fit line‚ Dave and Laura- Exponential

a separate test tube. After setting up the test tubes‚ 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide was added to each tube of extract. The thickness of the foam layer that was created in each tube was measured in millimeters. The effect of Temperature on Catalase The effect temperature had on the action of each catalase. In the liver cells‚ the hypothesis was tested based on: Temperature has no effect on catalase activity. First‚ 50 μl of liver of extract was added along with 1 mL of water in four test tubes. Then

in this experiments are: Lactase Enzyme and Lactose. Lactase is a protein located in the human small intestine‚ while lactose is a term to define the sugar found in milk. Milk is a substance that contains nutrients necessary for our bodies‚ however‚ some people are unable to consume lactose related products‚ and so they are medically classified as Lactose Intolerants. The purpose of this experiment is to examine and illustrate the way that lactose gets affected by lactase enzyme whenever lactase is

more concentrated solution of amylase (1>5)‚ the reaction rate will be faster; therefore test tube 1 will have the quickest reaction rate. The rate of disappearance of starch in amylase can be shown by diluting amylase in a 1:1 ratio but using Tube 1 to create Tube 2‚ Tube 2 (a mix of 1 and 2) to create Tube 3 and so on for 5 Tubes.
