QUESTIONS 1. What are other sources of glycogen? Of starch? a. Other sources of glycogen- Aside from the liver‚ it can also be found in skeletal muscles (for energy during strenuous exercise). It also occurs in tissues including adipose tissues‚ heart muscles‚ kidneys and the brain. It is also found in yeast‚ bacteria‚ fungi‚ molds and algae‚ oysters‚ and shellfish. b. Other sources of starch- Foods that are high in starch include breads‚ grains‚ cereals‚ pasta‚ rice‚ potatoes‚ peas

Factors Affecting Enzyme Activity Abstract: In the following lab factors affecting enzyme activity‚ temperature‚ pH‚ enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration and surface area will be tested on a beef liver enzyme to see if there will be any effect of performance. By doing 2 or more trials the results will show whether there is an effect to the enzyme from the following factors or not. Some of the factors may denature the enzyme and some will do nothing. Using a table qualitative and the

population growth and decline‚ the sigmoid and peak phenomena. Does the seal and killer whale relationship represent a sigmoid or peak phenomenon? Please provide supporting details. 6.What are the limitations of the population dynamics lab? Is the lab activity a realistic representation of an arctic marine ecosystem? Note: Please provide detailed support for your opinion. Birth‚ death‚ migration‚ community interactions‚ and abiotic factors can influence the size of a population. Changes to ecosystems

Intermolecular forces – design lab Research question: To calculate the solubility of equal masses nitrates of four di-positive ions (Lead Nitrate‚ Barium Nitrate‚ Copper Nitrate & Ferrous Nitrate of 0.5 M concentration) in an equal volume of water and relate this to the ionic radius of the element and the molar mass of the nitrate chosen and hence comment on the intermolecular forces in each of these nitrates. + write mass Justification of the research question: I was particularly interested

LAB: Substrate Concentration Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity: Through the Experiment of Beef Liver Puree and Hydrogen Peroxide Research Question Does different amount of substrate affect the rate of enzyme activities? Purpose To examine how different types of concentration (Hydrogen Peroxide) affect the rate of enzyme activity. Hypothesis We believe that if there is more substrate concentrated‚ then there will be an increase in the rate of enzyme activity. This is because

because their velocities will the larger and will need a larger force to go downwards. Air resistance of an object is affected by its mass‚ the total surface area that is exposed by the air resistance‚ and how fast an object is falling. When an object is falling‚ the force diagram will be represented by the force of air of an object pointing upwards and the force of gravity pointing downwards. But the value of the force of air and the force of gravity will not be the same in the beginning of the fall

In this lab we tested the effect of temperature has on the rate of enzyme activity. The way we figured this out was by taking four different temperatures and testing the difference absorbance levels they produced every 20 seconds for about 2 minutes straight using a spectrophotometer. The important part of this experiment was the temperature the enzyme concentration was made at. What we got from the experiment was at lower temperature we got very low numbers for the absorbance‚ which gave us a lower

Effect of Temperature on Enzyme Activity Bernard Stepteau Biology Lab 101/Th 8:00am – 9:50am 2-26-2014 Dr Laynes Hypothesis: As the temperature of the enzyme catalase rises the activity of the reaction will decrease. Objectives: The objective is to compare catalase activity at different temperatures. Introduction Catalase speeds the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase is present in every plant and animal organ. This is useful because hydrogen peroxide is harmful

Title: Enzyme Activity Lab Purpose: To measure the rate of enzyme activity from a tissue abstract and experiment with different factors‚ such as the enzyme solution and the substrate with different hydrogen peroxide percentages and temperature‚ that affect enzyme activity. Hypothesis: 1) If the disk is placed into each beaker with 100 units/ml of enzyme solution‚ then the time for the disk to float will be 30 seconds. 2) If the temperature of the solution is at 5 degrees Celsius‚
