those in the province‚ the researcher came up with the study entitled “Potato Battery”. Two new sources are fruits and vegetables. These are organic and can easily be bought at farms and markets. One of these is the use of potato but not all fruits and vegetables are usable. Potato had been considered due to it’s high content of phosphoric acid. B. Statement of the problem This study basically aims to find out whether a potato could be able to produce enough power to light up a bulb. And if it

Effect of Osmosis on Potato Aim: To investigate the effect osmosis has on potato pieces that are placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions in water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more saturated the solution is the lighter the potato will be‚ and the potato in the clear water will weigh more after being left in the solution over a 24 hour period. This is because the cell membranes in the potato act as semi permeable membranes (meaning that they only allow certain molecules through)

Brooke Strowd AP Biology Ms. Butler 28 January 2013 I. Title: Effect of a Catalyst on Reaction Rate II. Introduction: The basis of the experiment is the enzyme; an enzyme is a biological molecule that acts as a highly selective catalyst. By combining with a substrate‚ an enzyme is able to create a new product that helps the body function. (Ex. Lactose/Lactase) A substrate is a molecule an enzyme acts upon‚ the two combine at an area called an active site. This active site allows induced fit

Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell is

Biology GCSE Coursework: Osmosis in Potato Chips Skill Area P: Planning Aim: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solution’s molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially

The Effect of pH on Enzyme Activity A piece of Solanum tuberosum (potato) was removed and mixed with distilled water in a blender. The resulting solution was filtered through multiple layers of cheese cloth to filter out the liquid by eliminating any large pieces in the solution. The solution created was catechol. Five different solutions were prepared as blanks with each test tube containing 6.0mL of a different pH (pH 4‚ pH6‚ pH7‚ pH8‚ pH10) of phosphate buffer‚ 1.0mL of the enzyme and 1.0mL of

What effect does temperature have on the oxygen production of enzymes in an animal’s liver? A temperature which is too high would be able to produce little to no oxygen because of the extreme temperature. Just like a temperature too high‚ a temperature which is too low would also produce little to no oxygen for the same reason. Animals that have livers are considered warm-blooded‚ with very warm temperatures; therefore it would make sense for a warm temperature to produce the most oxygen; but one

the discontent between the two opposing forces‚ Americans and British‚ had been developing for years before the first shots ever had gone off to start the revolution. The reasoning for the tension between the two is traced back to one of the main catalysts being the Stamp Act that was imposed on New England colonies‚ then to one of the last being The Boston Tea Party that ended with British war ships being sent to Boston with attempts to keep in under control. In the beginning‚ New England were
