covalently to enzyme forming an enzyme-substrate complex‚ which catalyzes the substrate molecule into a product. Enzymes have the capability to break or build compounds which keep cell systems functioning. For example‚ our digestive tract has catabolic enzymes which break apart food for storage and reuse. Our lab experiment studied the relationship of benzoquinone production when altering the pH and temperature of the reaction‚ as well as enzyme and substrate concentrations. We used a Spec 20 to

Human Physiology Lab Special Senses Cutaneous Senses and Vision September 24/26‚ 2012 Our bodies are capable of sensing a wide spectrum of stimuli. We are consciously aware of some of the information our bodies perceive‚ but much of the information that is sensed is beyond our consciousness. Receptors responsible for perception of stimuli are found in many places: skin‚ eyes‚ ears‚ mouth‚ blood vessels‚ lungs‚ brain—frankly‚ every cell in the body has sensory receptors. These receptors are

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Acid Base Titration Purpose: The purpose is to calculate the molarity of a NaOH solution by titrating the base with 5mL of standard HCl solution in each trial. By adding the base with unknown molarity to the acid with 0.10M the molarity of NaOH can be calculated. The base‚ NaOH‚ helps bring the pH of the acid‚ HCl‚ closer to seven‚ which neutralizes it. When using the buret the amount of NaOH used is able to be determined. Then by writing a balanced chemical equation and using the titration

reaction equation is as follows: Rate of reaction = k [H202]M [I-]N The value of m and n will be calculated from the various runs of the experiment holding either H202 at constant concentration or holding I- at constant concentration Experiment: My lab partner and I first assembled the apparatus that we were to use according to the sample that was used to show us how to conduct the experiment. We added room temperature water into the leveling bulb and filled until the bulb was about half way filled

Helicopter Lab (Print and Due Monday) Problem: If we change the length of a paper helicopter’s wings‚ what length of wing will make the helicopter fall slowest? Hypothesis: If we increase the length of a helicopter’s wings then it wall fall slower because the wings will spin slower. Procedure: Materials: • Scissors • 3 Paperclips • Stop Watch • Ruler (metric) • Helicopter paper template(5cm X18cm) Step by Step: 1.) Gather Materials
