Abstract The Tuskegee syphilis experiment was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932-1972 in Macon Country‚ Alabama by the U.S Public Health Service. The purpose was to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S government; about four hundred African American men were denied. The doctors that were involved in this study had a shifted mindset; they were called “racist monsters”; “for

Abstract Over a two week period of time in the laboratory‚ we experimented and tested the reaction rate of a peroxidase enzyme and the factors that affected it‚ both positively and negatively. The purpose of these experiments was to probe and manipulate the activity of the enzyme peroxidase by varying temperature‚ pH‚ the amount of enzyme compared to the substrate and the effect of hydroxylamine. Peroxidase activity is expressed when the potato extract is subjected to stresses such as low temperature

Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The Philippines is primarily an agricultural country. Most of the citizens that still live in rural areas support themselves through agriculture. One of the four sub-sectors of agriculture is farming. Farming is one of the common forms of livelihood in the county. The rate of the crops produced here in the country shrank as of 1999 according to the Encyclopedia of Nations. One of the main reasons is the industrialization of farms. The farmers

Critical Thinking Stanley Milgram Experiment I feel the reason the Milgram Experiment subjects were lacking the moral and critical thinking of how they reacted to the experiment was a multitude of things such as. The subjects felt they had to because they were being told to by “people of authority” They also felt that since they were participating in the experiment and they were only doing “as told” then they were okay to proceed. Some also stated that do to the trust they had for the school and

DESIGN AN EXPERIMENT: THE BIGGEST BLOWER EXPERIMENT Design an Experiment: The Biggest Blower Experiment Problem Statement: You have a pack of Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum. Does the amount of sugar in this gum affect the size of the bubble you blow?? Hypothesis: I think that sugar in any gum affects the size of the bubble you blow. I think this because I was watching “The Next Great Baker” and someone was melting sugar and when it cooled off a little he used a balloon blower to make bubbles out of

INTRODUCTION Plant pigments consist of four main chemicals. These are Chlorophylls‚ The carotenoids‚ Anthocyanin and Betacaine. The aims of this experiment is to separate the plant pigment into different colours using solvents and column chromatography. The hypothesis of this experiment is that this plant pigment from spinach will contain the chlorophyll pigment or may contain the others too. Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll a is the main component of the plant pigments. This is used for the most

Sometimes the data we need may not be available from internal or external sources. In such cases‚ we may have to obtain data by conducting our own survey or experiment. In a survey‚ we do not exercise any control over the factors when we collect information. For example‚ if we want to collect data on the money various families spent last month on clothes‚ we will ask each of the families included in the survey how much it spent last month on clothes. Then we will record this information. A survey

Design Experiment: Enzyme Inhibitors. Research question: What is the effect of adding lead nitrate solution on the activity of amylase enzyme? Aim: To test the effect of adding nitrate solution on the activity of amylase. Background Information: Inhibitors are molecules which repress or prevent another molecule from engaging in a reaction. They are substances that attach themselves onto an enzyme and reduce or prevent the enzyme’s ability to catalyse reactions. Competitive Inhibitors are inhibitors
