Introduction: I decided to try to cook meringue. While researching how to cook meringue‚ I learned that meringue is created from the denaturation of ovalbumin‚ the main protein in egg whites. Denaturation is when a protein’s structure is disrupted. Ovalbumin is denatured by heat. In my science class‚ I had learned that heat and pH affect the denaturation of protein. I became curious about how changing the pH would affect the denaturation of ovalbumin when cooking meringue. So I decided to add lemon

Does age affect reaction time? Aim: To find out if age affects reaction time through the use of an online program created by Human Benchmark Background information: in a study conducted by the University of Michigan‚ the most accepted theory for the effect of age on reaction time is that older people have a slower reaction time in comparison to people of a younger age. This is because adrenaline levels and reflexes are in best condition when young. Another reason of reaction times decreasing with

Enzymes are catalytic proteins that selectively speed up chemical reactions without by consumed by the reaction itself (1). Enzyme activity is significantly affected by factors such as temperature‚ substrate concentration‚ enzyme concentration and pH. Enzymes are highly specific and only catalyse one specific chemical reaction‚ speeding up the reaction by lowering the activation energy‚ the energy required to start a chemical reaction (2). At high temperatures and with various mechanical forces or

Exercise affects all people differently‚ specifically a person’s heart rate and blood pressure. After exercising your heart rate should increase and your blood pressure should decrease (Blood Pressure Association‚ 2008). The purpose of this lab was to determine which level of exercise would have the greatest impact on affected pulse and blood pressure. In this lab we tested how exercise affected heart rate by testing a random group of people with different body types and exercise levels to see how different

and three would support the initial rationale hypothesis that if salt concentration is not equal to the optimum concentration of 0.15M‚ then its ability to function will decrease. 0.15M with the trypsin added had the lowest absorbency compared to the three other concentrated groups that were tested (0.0M‚ 0.075M‚ 0.30M). Closer comparison that if you take the results obtained from trial one with trypsin at a salt concentration of 0.075M‚ the absorbance was 0.165 (440 nm wavelength). In comparison

exercise on heart rate/ breathing rate? Justification Pulse is an ongoing wave of pressure in the arteries‚ caused by pumping of heart. Pulse can be measured on the wrist‚ neck‚ back of the knee or any other pulse point where arteries run close to the surface of the skin and compress on the bone. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is lower when you rest and increases when you exercise. More oxygen rich blood is needed by the body when exercising so knowing how to take your pulse

Changing the Rate of Reaction PART 1: PARTICLE SIZE Question: How does changing the particle size of marble (CaCO3) affect the rate of reaction when it is added to hydrochloric acid (HCl)? Hypothesis: If I change the particle size of marble to test how to change the rate of a chemical reaction‚ than the chemical reaction with the smallest marble particles will produce CO2 the quickest because the larger the surface area‚ the more place the hydrochloric acid will have to collide with the marble

Written summary The reaction time test that had taken place involved the students to sit at a laptop and press the go button on the screen with their touch pad and wait for the stimulus to appear on the screen. When this stimulus would appear the student would then have to press on their touchpad with their writing hand and the amount of time that it took for the student to react to the stimulus and press the touchpad was the reaction time that was timed. The test was taken 3 times and the average

caused when someone’s stomach produced excess amounts of gastric acids. One of the abundant acids is Hydrochloric Acid (HCl); this acid has a pH level of 1. When there is too much acid in our stomach‚ it rises up to the esophagus‚ which causes the burning sensation known as heartburn. You can treat this if you take antacids‚ antacids are mild bases that can help neutralize the stomach and ends heartburn. GENERAL NEUTRALIZATION EQUATION: Acid + Base = H2O + NaCl HCl + NaOH = water + salt Purpose
