GROWS POTATOES IN CHINA After entering China in 1982‚ Pepsi continued to do well in the country‚ offering a wider range of products than its arch-rival‚ Coca-Cola. Pepsi’s potato chip business was successful despite competition from other multinational rivals and Chinese domestic brands. As its potato chips became more successful‚ however‚ the problem of how to secure a supply of quality potatoes also grew. In the North American market‚ Pepsi relied on external suppliers for its potatoes. But

Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

Joshua Annan Biology Section-04 Diffusion and Osmosis December 14‚2012 Alexis‚ Adiba‚ Elliot and Joey Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to get a better understanding of osmosis and diffusion in molecules. We will do this by studying different solutions and how they move through the permeable membrane. Hypothesis: The three different possible predictions were the lab were that the mass would stay the same‚ the mass will increase‚ or the mass will decrease

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch

Kenishia Pascal 10x3. Investigating How Different Concentration Effects The Rate Of Reaction. Strategy A Possible Factors * Source of catalase * Concentration * Surface Area of enzyme * Concentration of enzyme * pH * Temperature Chosen Factor We chose to investigate the concentration of enzyme as we had previously investigated the optimum temperature for catalase in the preliminary investigation. Concentration of enzyme is also fairly easy to investigate‚ as

Direction and concentration gradients Bradley Benton ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ we will investigate the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. A semi‐permeable membrane (dialysis tubing) and sucrose will create an osmotic environment similar to that of a cell. Using different concentrations of sucrose (which is unable to cross the membrane) will allow us to examine the net movement of water across the membrane. INTRODUCTION A major determinant of diffusion in a biological system is membrane

The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

Title: “The Effect of Substrate Concentration‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ pH and Temperature on Enzyme Activity” Abstract: In the following experiments we will measure precise amounts of potato extract as well as Phenylthiourea‚ combined with or without deionized water and in some instances change the temperature and observe and record the reaction. We will also investigate the different levels of prepared pH on varying samples of the potato extract and the Phenylthiourea and record the results.

(3-6 pm) OSMOSIS LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where water molecules move down a concentration gradient across a cell membrane. The solute (dissolved substance) concentration affects the rate of osmosis causing it either to speed the process up or slow it down. Based on this‚ how does different concentrations of sucrose affect the rate of osmosis? If sucrose concentration increases in the selectivity-permeable baggies‚ then the rate of osmosis will increase

The aim of this experiment is to better understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could
