Melissa Cavanaugh Lab: Tuesdays at 1pm Enzyme Kinetics Lab Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that will catalyze reactions to make the rate of the reaction occur faster than it would without. It can also make the reaction occur in the first place. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that has a variety of functions and activities. It produces pigments like melanin and others that would be apparent when a fruit is cut in half and it browns. (Bien-etre 3).There is that one function that stands out and the enzyme

Hazards of Static Electricity; Lightning Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge between the electrically charged regions within clouds or between a cloud and the surface of a planet. It is the sudden high-current discharge caused by the atmosphere’s electrical breakdown. Lightning is also one of the most deadly natural phenomena known to man. Lightning is an electric current; thus within a thundercloud up in the sky‚ many small bits of ice (frozen raindrops) collide into each other as

Caliban is the most complex of all the characters in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest‚ but he is actually a static character. Caliban lives a low life as a servant for Prospero. The life of a slave. He provides comical relief as he gets steadily drunker throughout the play‚ but remains devoted to his sole mission throughout the play‚ to take over the island which he “rightfully owns”. You’d think Caliban was evil‚ wouldn’t you? In reality‚ Caliban is the byproduct of his mother’s death and Prospero

In Arthur Miller ’s The Crucible‚ the main character Abigail Williams is to blame for the witch trials in Salem‚ Massachusetts‚ Abigail Williams remained a static character throughout the book. Abigail is a mean‚ deceitful and manipulative person who always wants her way; she has no remorse about who she hurts along her journey to get her want she wants. Abigail Williams is a manipulative evil person throughout The Crucible; she can be characterized as manipulative because she influences the girls

In this investigation three different variables were tested to determine their effect on the force of friction. All throughout the lab it was important to record the data found to identify how much the three variables affected the force of friction. The purpose of the first part of the lab‚ 4.1 What a Drag!‚ was to measure the force required to pull a block over five different surfaces. The sliding surfaces used in the lab were the tabletop‚ waxed paper‚ paper towel‚ fine sandpaper‚ and coarse sandpaper

The affect on dynamic and static stretching on basketball specific fitness tests Introduction Basketball is‚ and requires a high-intensity‚ and non-continuous sprints of different durations‚ rapid accelerations‚ jumping‚ and agility ( Sallet‚ Perrier‚ Ferret‚ Vitelli‚ Baveral‚ 2005). Basketball players usually perform different stretches to get ready for trainings or matches‚ and the majority of coaches believe that pre-exercise stretching helps prevent injuries‚ that might occur during those

Rachel Smith Design Lab: Kinetics Lab Introduction: ! Background Information- Effervescent tablets reduce stomach acid and help treat upset stomachs. The familiar fizzing you hear when you drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a glass of water is the result of a chemical reaction. After dropping the tablet into the water‚ the reaction causes the solid tablet to become dissolved and releases tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. This reduces the time it takes for the medicine to work as it does not need to dissolve

Use the postulates of the kinetic theory to explain the following: i)Matter can exist in three states ii)The pressure exerted by a confined gas decreases as its temperature is lowered iii)A gas of low molecular mass will diffuse through air faster than a gas of high molecular masseven though both are at same temperature. The Kinetic Theory can be used to describe the three physical states of matter namely‚ solid‚ liquid and gas. In this theory‚ some basic assumptions has to be made: a) all matter

Mme. Loisel of “The Necklace” is a dynamic character. But to argue this opinion‚ there are many reasons why Mme. Loisel is in fact‚ a static character. Guy de Maupassant skillfully develops the character of Mme. Loisel in “The Necklace” with an unvarying nature by her thoughts and words. Maupassant begins to competently develop the traits of Mme. Loisel as a static character by her thoughts. The life of Mme. Loisel is described by her residence filled with the‚ hideousness of the drapes‚ the shabbiness

AP Chemistry Kinetics Lab Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to learn how to write law expressions‚ determine orders by graphs‚ and calculate rate constants. By determining the number of drops of sodium hypochlorite necessary to make a diluted food dye change to colorless in less than three minutes helps calculate the absorbance which can then be analyzed to find the pseudo rate constant and eventually leading to the rate constant and the rate law. The results show that the m and n are both 1st
