The effect temperature has on the activity of the enzyme α- amylase. Introduction Enzymes are a biological catalysts‚ which means that they speed up the chemical reactions in living organisms. Almost all of enzymes are energized protein molecules that catalyse and regulate nearly all biochemical reactions that occur within the human body. The reason in which enzymes are sensitive to heat‚ pH and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes

Purpose Thermoregulation is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ even when the surrounding temperature varies and is of higher or lower temperature than what is normal. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body so as to maintain a relatively constant core temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius. If this was unable to take place the body may not be able to functions properly and it could result

Jars were filled with a 100ml of federalized water‚ and a mark at the 100ml was made as indication to ensure the correct amount of water was given if the jars needed to be topped up. With a Q-tip‚ 10 green Lemna leaves with growing roots were placed into each of the ten designated jars. The five room temperature jars were placed into

The Effect of Temperature on Blow-fly Larvae INTRODUCTION Calliphoridae- comonly known as a blowfly‚ are living organisms which usually are the first insects to colonise a body after death. The blowfly larvae are very useful in forensic entomology. The oldest larvae give an approximate time of death of body. Family: Calliphoridae Order: Diptera Name: Calliphora vicina Aim: To check the influence of temperature of environment on living functions and activity of Blow-fly larvae.

Temperature is one of the weather elements and measures the degree of hotness and coldness in a place. The temperature of a place is affected by a number of factors such as latitudinal location‚ seasonal variations‚ albedo of the place‚ contrasts between land and sea and elevation. Latitudinal location has the strongest influence on the climatic conditions on a macro/global scale. The rest of the factors then serves to modify these influences and are secondary‚ operating at a smaller scale. Latitude

This report will focus on thermoregulation‚ which is the ability of an organism to keep its body temperature within certain boundaries‚ despite the fluctuating external environment. The purpose of thermoregulation is to balance thermal inputs and thermal losses in the body to maintain a core body temperature of approximately 36.7 degrees celsius‚ despite the

Effect of Temperature on Solubility Lab Purpose: What is the solubility of minerals in water? What is the relationship between temperature and solubility? Hypothesis: If salt and sugar are each tested in water of varying temperatures‚ then salt and sugar’s solubility will increase as the temperature also increases.

Introduction To determine the effects of stressful experimental treatments on living membranes we are going to examine how fresh beets roots react when they are exposed to different temperatures. Membranes are an important feature of plant cells and they act as a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the external environment (Campbell 133). They organize specific chemicals and reactions into specific compartments within the cell. Generally‚ cell membranes consist of phospholipids
