Introduction Over the course of several weeks‚ myself and my fellow classmates have been researching and conducting an experiment that focuses on the effect of ascorbate peroxidase (a.p) as well as salt stress at different levels of concentrations on Abelmoschus esculentus (okra). Okra is a plant that is composed of 87.1% of water. In addition to being made mostly of water this highly nutritious vegetable is also composed of 0.2% of fat‚ 9.7% of carbohydrate‚ 2.2 % protein‚ 1.0 % fiber‚ and 0

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

ACIDS AND BASES The reason that acid-base reactions are so important is that many of the things you come into contact with on a daily basis are either acids or bases. Most fruits are acids‚ as are carbonated beverages‚ tea‚ and battery acid. Common household bases include baking soda‚ ammonia‚ soap‚ and antacids. What are acids and bases? There are not one but three common definitions used to describe acids and bases: 1. Arrhenius acids and bases 2. Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases 3. Lewis acids

To begin the experiment‚ the reaction apparatus was assembled (as shown in Figure 1 below from the lab manual) consisting of a 3.0 mL conical vial charged with p-cresol (80uL from Eppendorf pipette)‚ 25% aqueous NaOH (130uL)‚ and a spin vane. The solution was mixed thoroughly and tetrabutylammonium bromide (9mg) was added along with n-propyl iodide (75uL) and it was equipped with a flask with a water reflux condenser. The solution was heated (95-100°C) while vigorously stirring it. After 60 minutes

Effect of Catalase at Different Temperatures Abstract The role of this experiment is to determine the effect of temperature on enzymatic activity. The results of the experiment were the colder the temperature the slower the reaction rate and the hotter the temperature the faster the reaction rate. Introduction Enzymes are chemical substances found in living cells and they act as catalysts of the various chemical reactions that occur in them.(Preszler‚ 2012) They bind to substrates that have

Acid Strength Grade 10- Science (chemistry) 11/23/2012 Mariana Boff Acids Strength Acids are substances that contain hydrogen atoms which detach to form hydrogen ions when the acid is dissolved. Acids are divided into two main categories: the strong and weak acids. The stronger ones are very corrosive and can cause severe skin burns‚ here are some examples: nitric acid (HNO3)‚ hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The weaker ones are less corrosive and when in touch with the

And the reasonthat I find this topic intrestingis that since I have a bird‚ and nly not just because of that but also because Its for a science project also because I want him to eat more foods and have different diets an get great nutritons that are to make him more heathly.
