This lab is adapted from the canned denatured pineapple experiment. Instead of investigating the effect of canning on enzyme activity‚ we look for the presence of the substrate. This is a useful teaching lab for all the criteria and requires very few resources. Background Information: Gelatin is made from a protein called collagen which comes from the joints of animals. Gelatin may be dissolved in hot water. As the dissolved gelatin mixture cools‚ the collagen forms into a matrix that

Lab Exercise 2: Acceleration A. Objective This experiment will provide data to calculate the acceleration of a marble as it rolls down an incline plane over measured periods of time. To do this‚ the marble’s velocity will be determined and then its acceleration. 1. What is the distance between two marks in your inclined plan? -50cm 2. What is the angle of your inclined plan with respect the horizontal? -16degrees 3. Newton’s first law says a body at rest will remain at rest unless

Lab 2 – Water Quality and Contamination Experiment 1: Effects of Groundwater Contamination Table 1: Water Observations (Smell‚ Color‚ Etc.) Beaker Observations 1 This beaker has water only‚ clear with no smell 2 I mixed oil in the water‚ the oil then started to settle at the top of the water. (oil is not a soluble) 3 Beaker contained vinegar and water‚ the water got a little cloudy and the vinegar smell is very strong. 4 The water and laundry detergent mix had a soapy look to it‚ water also

Labs 4 & 5 Lab Four: Experiment 1 1. At what magnification do you first notice the ragweed pollen? I first noticed it when the magnification is at about 30 2. Which is bigger‚ rhinovirus or E. Coli? E. Coli is bigger 3. Based on the magnification‚ how many of the E. Coli can fit into the same space as the head of a pin? 10‚000 E. Coli 4. About how many red blood cells could fit across the diameter of a human hair. (Again‚ look at the magnification scale)? About 100 blood cells

Pre-lab questions: 1. Algae belong to what Kingdom? They belong to the Kingdom Protista. 2. What are the three types of multicellular algae? The three types if multicellular algae are chlorophyta which are green algae‚ phaeophyta which are brown algae‚ and rhodophyta which are red algae. 3. Are algae autotrophs or heterotrophs? Algae are autotrophs. 4. What organelle allows plants (and plantlike protists) to photosynthesize? The chloroplasts allow plants and plantlike protists to photosynthesize

Question 1: Make a prediction about the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of the remaining rats compared with the BMR of the normal rat you just measured. Your answer : c. The BMR of both remaining rats will be lower than the normal rat’s BMR. Predict Question 2: What do you think will happen after you inject thyroxine into the three rats? Your answer : a. The normal rat will become hyperthyroidic and develop a goiter. Predict Question 3: What do you think will happen after you inject TSH into the three rats

Willy Rupprecht Date(s) performed: October 2 - 3‚ 2012 Gravimetric Analysis of an Unknown Group 1 Metal Carbonate Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the identity of a Group 1 metal carbonate compound by gravimetric analysis. Procedure: The unknown carbonate is weighed and then dissolved in water. A solution of CaCl2 (calcium chloride) is added to the metal carbonate solution to precipitate the carbonate ions as CaCO3 (calcium carbonate). The precipitate is then filtered‚ dried

Part B: Practical Report The Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Aim: To investigate how temperature effects the enzyme catalase. Hypothesis: If the temperature of water is increased then the enzyme will react quicker to form oxygen and water‚ when compared to cold water. Purpose: To design and conduct a plan of a practical about the effects of temperature on enzymatic activity with a partner. Introduction: An enzyme is a protein‚ which speeds up a specific chemical reaction without altering
