Disappearance of the Mayan Civilization Gladis Y. Romero Prof. Lowell Larry Pullen‚ Ph.D. HUM111 – World Cultures I Strayer University May 4‚ 2013 Abstract Maya Civilizations was truly remarkable. There is so much to learn from this Ancient society. Due to advance research‚ new clues have aroused about the disappearance of this magnificent empire. We now know they suffered a calamity‚ the mighty Maya; timekeepers of the universe‚ together with their centers of learning were vanished. Their

Investigating the Effect of Concentration on the Rate of Enzyme Catalysed Reaction To investigate the effect of concentration on the rate of enzyme catalysed reaction I must know all the factors that affect it in order to investigate in this. Here are all the factors: Temperature- Enzyme like it warm but not too hot. Enzymes are biological catalysts‚ which speed up chemical reactions. They work most efficiently at the optimum point (37°C). If they are below 37°C they will work

fungus amylase and also discovers the optimum temperature for these enzymes. The amylase was mixed with starch at temperatures of 0℃‚ 37℃‚ 57℃‚ and 90℃. Iodine was added to each mixture and colour changes in each case. Bacteria amylase was found to be effective at 55 0C as the temperature dropped drastically from 4.58℃ to 2.33℃. This shows that the amylase catabolized a lot of starch hence little is left which cannot turn the iodine solution to blue-black which indicates the presence of starch. Fungal

Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

It is effectively a diagnosis of exclusion: the finding of a very high serum amylase activity is very suggestive but is not on its own diagnostic

Test for Starch Introduction and Hypothesis: In this experiment‚ we used iodine to test for starch in certain solutions. Iodine separates starch from polysaccharides‚ monosaccharides‚ and disaccharides. Starch is a curled polymer of glucose and iodine interacts with molecules‚ which changes the color of the molecules to a kind of black color. Iodine does not respond with carbohydrates that are not curled or coiled‚ thus the color stays yellowish brown. A black color result means that starch is current

Research paper: Honey Bees’ disappearance Bees are flying insects that are related to wasps and ants. Those insects are mostly known for their role of pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. There are about 20‚000 different species of bees around the world‚ and every single species of bees live in colonies where there are three types of bees: the queen‚ the worker‚ and the drone. However‚ a lot of scientists and beekeepers noticed since 2006 that the population of bees in world started
