Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth BIO 3400-002L – Microbiology Lab 1 Effect of Osmotic Stress and Temperature on Microbial Growth Luiz Felipe Isidoro ABSTRACT Evolution allowed primitive forms of life to develop proteins and enzymes that made it possible for life to evolve under environments with hostile conditions‚ such as high salt and heat. More specifically‚ some bacteria selected genes that code for peptides with stronger intermolecular forces‚ coping

Does Temperature of Kernels Affect Popcorn Yield? Project Design Plan This experiment will attempt to determine if the temperature that popcorn kernels are stored at will affect the amount of un-popped kernels when using a hot air popcorn popper. Popcorn kernels contain moisture inside of them which‚ when heated‚ turns to steam and expands that in turn causes the kernel to explode. Popcorn.org states that loss of moisture content can cause less yield amounts when popping popcorn (popcorn.org‚ 2014)

Title of Experiment: The Effect of Temperature on the Hatching Success of Brine Shrimps. Abstract In this experiment‚ 40 brine shrimp eggs are put into a test tube containing salt water at different temperature such as 25°C and 35°C respectively. The eggs are left from two days to hatch. After two days‚ the number of eggs successfully hatched are observed and counted. Introduction Brine shrimp is the common name for a primordial crustacean that reaches less than 1.3 cm in length and is usually

Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature increases. Oppositely

Purpose: This laboratory was performed to find the temperature change‚ heat of reaction‚ and enthalpy change for neutralization reactions. The temperature change was found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature obtained. Heat of reaction is negative heat of solution. Heat of solution was found by using the formula qsolution = mCsΔT (m= mass; Cs= 4.184 J/g°C; and ΔT = change in temperature). The enthalpy change was found by dividing the heat of reaction by the number of

A critical point happens when a substance has a high enough temperature and pressure that both liquid and gas can exist at the same time. This state is called a critical point. Now‚ when a state of matter changes from one state to another is called a phase shift. Phase shifts are extremely important and most commonly observe phase shifts daily. For an example‚ when water freezes into ice‚ or the water in the shower turns to steam. To begin to start describing how a phase shift works we must understand

CP2085 Effect of Temperature‚ Study and Measure of Enzymes Activity Abstract This experiment investigates the effect that temperature has on the rate of activity of enzyme β-galactosidase and also the rate of β-galactosidase activity in different concentration of substrate over time. Ο-nitrophenylgalactoside (ONPG) is used as a substrate for β-galactosidase. A spectrophotometer is used to detect the change in colour of the substrate. Results show that increase in temperature up to 50oC speeds

Mikhail Kashtelyan The Consequences of a global temperature rise on arctic ecosystems Nowadays the climate is changing‚ in more exact words the global temperature is raising every year. Those climate changes may cause a lot of different disasters and brake of ecosystems. A place that is really endangered of global temperature rise is arctic. Arctic is a very big icy landmass that is located north of the Arctic Circle. Arctic contains a lot of different kind of species. If the icy landmass

‘Kinetics’ is the study of chemical reactions. The speed of a reaction can vary depending on many variables such as the nature of the reactants‚ particle size‚ concentration and temperature. For a chemical reaction to occur‚ there must be a collision between reactants. The reaction rate is slower when the reactants are large and complex molecules because it takes longer for the molecules to combine together creating a chemical reaction. More than 2000 years ago‚ Democritus‚ who was a philosopher

Investigation into the photosynthetic activity of isolated chloroplasts from spinach beet to various light conditions. Introduction Chlorophyll‚ an important pigment in chloroplasts‚ is an essential component in photosynthesis; converting electromagnetic radiation from the sun into potential chemical energy. Photons excite electrons in chlorophyll which move through the electron transport chain‚ resulting in energy being stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH. The flow of electron through the electron
