NO MORE PROMISES Synopsis The theme of this essay “A democracy that delivers” is an apt one coming in the wake of Nigeria’s emerging democracy. This essay titled “No more promises” discusses democracy and its operations in Nigeria where I live. It examines governance in Nigeria within the context of the challenges of returning to a democratic system of governance after many years of military rule. It looks at citizens’ expectations and how far they have been met in ten years of a new democratic

is based on a clinical experience within my branch of Adult nursing. I will explore how patients Activity of Daily Living (ADL) needs have been met for hygiene‚ elimination‚ nutrition and hydration. I will also demonstrate how the student has practiced in a non discriminatory manner. The four ADL’s I am basing my essay on are part of the twelve Activities of Daily Living model (Roper et al‚ 1996). As the NMC states you must always make the care of a patient your first concern and always treat them

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are a protein serving as a catalyst‚ a chemical agent that changes the rate of the reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Enzymes are proteins made up of long chains of amino acids. These form complex shapes. The enzymes are individuals‚ like the different players on a ball team‚ they have different specific structures and jobs. As one ball player may be very tall and one short‚ the specific different shape of the active site on an enzyme is unique and prepares it

Enzymatic Activity of Salivary Amylase Abstract: Salivary amylase is an enzyme that can digest starch molecules and break them down to sugar molecules. In this experiment‚ the enzymatic activity and specificity of salivary amylase was examined depending on the changes in pH and temperature. In the first part of the experiment‚ the effect of temperature was determined‚ using constant temperature bath (4‚ room temp‚ 37‚ 50‚ 60‚ and 70°C). Having the room temp and 50°C as the highest and 37°C as infinite

Testing Catalase Activity Prepared by Anel Behric For professor Goodrow General Biology Lab Mohawk Valley Community College 10/14/2014 6:00 PM Introduction: This experiment was conducted to examine the breakdown of substrate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) by catalase‚ which is a specific enzyme that breaks down substrates of (H2O2). Molecules are in our bodies and nature. They move around constantly which causes them to be part of random collisions‚

What pH Level Causes a Plant to Grow Best Alexis Chavez‚ Heather Nutt‚ Nguyen Phan Introduction We knew that water is normally stated as the best form of liquid to make sure plants grow as best as they can‚ but we wanted to know if causing the water to be more basic or more acidic would affect how the plant grew. Our hypothesis was that if the plant is treated with a pH of 12 then treated with another pH. Materials The materials used were three identical plants‚ that each had 4 sections that were

How is pH affecting catalase activity? Hypothesis The catalase activity is assumed to be the most active in pH7. The higher or lower concentration away from the optimum pH of catalase‚ the slower the rate of activity is. Data Collection & Processing I collected the results of pH4‚ pH7‚ pH10 and pH13 after 2 minutes‚ and I repeated the experiment 3 times. Below is a table to show the results‚ their averages and standard deviations: | 1st time (sec) | 2nd time (sec) | 3rd time (sec)

Determination of the Effect of pH on Amylase Activity Grace Chung Abstract: Amylase is an important enzyme in the human body as it allows for the consumption of starch by breaking the polysaccharide down into maltose units. All enzymes‚ including amylase‚ function best at a certain optimal pH. Therefore‚ in this experiment‚ the effect of different pHs on the reaction rate of amylase is studied. It was hypothesized that the amylase-starch reaction would proceed fastest at a pH closest to that of the

Then pick a slide‚ then select the lowest ocular power (4x) to set microscope into low power. The reposition slide into the circle of light by turning the two knobs located at the right of the microscope. The top knob moves slide back and forth‚ where as‚ the bottom knob positions the slide from side

Title: Enzyme Activity Lab Purpose: To measure the rate of enzyme activity from a tissue abstract and experiment with different factors‚ such as the enzyme solution and the substrate with different hydrogen peroxide percentages and temperature‚ that affect enzyme activity. Hypothesis: 1) If the disk is placed into each beaker with 100 units/ml of enzyme solution‚ then the time for the disk to float will be 30 seconds. 2) If the temperature of the solution is at 5 degrees Celsius‚
