which came from the potato juice. The function of an enzyme is to catalyze reactions in cells. The specific function of the enzyme in this experiment was to see if it affected the activity if it was exposed to different temperatures. A substrate is a material or substance which the enzyme acts. The substrate in our lab was hydrogen peroxide. Procedure For our experiment we used‚ three test tubes‚ nine milliliters of potato

oxidation-reduction reactions. The first part of the experiment measures the standard electrode potentials of five various half cells against the Cu2+(1M)|Cu half cell. The last three half cells are prepared through electrolysis. The electrode potentials of all reactions are positive which means that they are spontaneous. There is a significant percent difference from the theoretical and the experimental standard electrode potentials. The sources of error are incorrect solution preparation and contaminated materials

The Irish Potato Famine Have you ever thought that one day all of the potatoes could go bad? Unfortunately it’s true.The potato famine or known as the Great hunger was in Ireland until 1845-49. People of all ages were affected.Since the soil was poor‚ potatoes didn’t grow like they’re supposted to. The cause‚ a failure of the Irish potato crop due to an infestation of Phytophora infestans‚ a microscopic fungus‚ also called the potato blight.They think that the disease was brought him by an American

A potato chip is a slice of potato‚ deep fried or baked until crisp. Potato chips serve as a side dish or snack. The chips of this kind are just cooked and saled‚ but chips are an important part of the snack food market in English-speaking countries and many other Western nations. Lays Classic potato chips contain potatoes‚ healthier oil‚ and salt. Consumers buy lays classic potato chips because of the fufilling taste‚ crunchy and salty. Lays’ potato chips have become such a common snack among many

This study focuses mainly on making biodegradable plastics‚ which is certainly safer than non-biodegradable plastics‚ from potato starch. Biodegradable plastics made from raw materials are completely reusable and can be composted easily. Potato starch contains minimal protein and fat. Potato starch is a

experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in acidic pH levels‚ the absorbency
