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

Diffusion of innovations From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. With successive groups of consumers adopting the new technology (shown in blue)‚ its market share (yellow) will eventually reach the saturation level. In mathematics the S curve is known as the logistic function. Diffusion of Innovations is a theory that seeks to explain how‚ why‚ and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures.

initial rate of reaction. I will measure the effect of the enzyme in 5 different concentrations against the controlled variable of the reactant. The enzyme which will be used is different concentrations of potato and the reactant used will be Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide which will be the buffer solution is a PH of 7.2. My hypothesis for the experiment is that as the concentration of the enzyme is increased the rate of reaction will be increased‚ producing oxygen at a faster rate. The results

1. DNA Nucleotide [pic] Nucleotides consist of three parts --- a pentose sugar‚ a nitrogen-containing base‚ and a phosphate group. A pentose sugar is a five-sided sugar. Deoxyribose has a hydrogen atom attached to its #2 carbon atom (designated 2’)‚ and ribose has a hydroxyl group atom there. Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides are the monomers of DNA RNA Nucleotide [pic] The left picture shows the nucleotide unit of RNA. Nucleotides differ from nucleosides

process are diffusion and filtration. Every cell in the human body uses diffusion as an important transport process through its selectively permeable membrane. During diffusion‚ molecules that are small enough to pass through a membrane’s pores or molecules that can dissolve in the lipid section of a membrane move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The kinetic energy that all molecules possess is the motivating force in diffusion. Facilitated diffusion occurs when

new policies into a jurisdiction. The analysis of policy innovation and diffusion is important in explaining policy introduction and the non-incremental aspect of policy change. This paper is my response to the literature by Frances Stokes Berry and William D. Berry titled “Innovation and Diffusion Models in Policy Research” as well as the article by Charles R. Shipan and Craig Volden called “The Mechanisms of Policy Diffusion”. In this essay‚ I maintain that the unified model proposed by Berry and

The original diffusion research was done as early as 1903 by the French sociologist Gabriel Tarde who plotted the original S-shaped diffusion curve. Tardes’ 1903 S-shaped curve is of current importance because "most innovations have an S-shaped rate of adoption" (Rogers‚ 1995).

We will do this by studying different solutions and how they move through the permeable membrane.
