Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine.

of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions; “reactant

The Charge/Mass (e/m) Ratio of the Electron PHYS 0212: Introduction to Laboratory Physics Fall 2012 Abstract The experiment conducted demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found

A. ENG237-02: Transients in RC and RL Circuits 0. Introduction The objective of this experiment is to study the DC transient behaviors of RC and RL circuits. This experiment has divided into 6 parts: 1. Charging curve from measured data ( R = 10M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 2. Draw the charging curve by the graphical method 3. Discharging curve from measured data ( R = 5M Ω and C = 4 mF ) 4. Draw the discharging curve by the graphical method 5. Display of the charging and discharging

Some metals react with acids while others do not. In this experiment‚ students will perform 2 reactions: aluminum/zinc with excess 6M hydrochloric acid and aluminum-zinc alloy with excess 6M hydrochloric acid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the atomic mass of each metal and the percent composition of a known mass aluminum-zinc alloy by determining the moles of H2 gas formed. Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) 1 mole of H2(g) is produced for every 1 mole of Zn(s) 2. 2Al(s)
