The experimental samples for the pH concentration experiment were put together by using a 10ml-graduated cylinder to obtain 4ml of each pH buffer to insert into cuvettes‚ a micropipette was then used to obtain 0.5ml of catechol and 0.5ml of the catechol oxidase. The pH buffer was made first to avoid any denaturation of the catechol oxidase. Our positive control for this experiment was pH 7 because that is the pH level of most cell membranes in the cytoplasm (Whitson‚ 2016.) Our negative controls

The Effect of Solute Concentration on the Mass of Apples Introduction Background: This lab involves the testing and measuring of water potential. Water potential (ψ) is the tendency of water to diffuse from one region to another. It measures the free energy available in water to do work. Pure water has a water potential of 0 (kpa--unit?). Water will move from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Several factors‚ including temperature‚ pressure (ψp) and solute concentration

experimental group had a huge impact when the diluted concentration of caffeine was put in compared to the control group that contained no concentration of caffeine. The hypothesis was supported because a significant decrease of the total number of cells when caffeine solution was added to the experimental group was clearly shown. An addition of small amounts of caffeine does inhibit cell proliferation and affect cell viability during the lab experimentation one more test was conducted because the

"To See What Factors Affect The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide By The Enzyme Catalase Which Is Found In The Liver" Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up the chemical reactions which go on inside living things. Without them the reactions would be so slow that life would grind to a halt. Enzymes work by when a substrate molecule bumps into a molecule of the right enzyme‚ it fits into a depression on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This depression is called the

In my coursework I will investigate about enzymes in potatoes reacting with Hydrogen Peroxide. In particular I will investigate the effects of changing the surface area of a potato when added to Hydrogen Peroxide. This is because‚ when increasing the surface area of the potatoes it will increase the rate of reaction because there will be more surface area on which particles from the potato and the Hydrogen Peroxide will collide on‚ and with more surface area there would be more particles carrying

between volume of oxygen and the increase of hydrogen peroxide; as the amount of substrate increases‚ the more oxygen is produced from the enzymatic reaction of hydrogen peroxide. For example‚ when five drops of hydrogen peroxide was added‚ it can be seen that 16.2mL of oxygen collected in the gas syringe‚ whilst when 15 drops were added‚ 96.4mL of oxygen was indicated‚ strongly supporting the original hypothesis‚ which was that as more hydrogen peroxide was added to the yeast‚ the higher the rate
