BIOLOGY LAB REPORT (UNIT 7: ENZYMES) GENERAL Enzymes are protein that acts as catalyst‚ lowering the activation energy need for reactions to progress in cells. The reaction can still occur without the presence of the enzyme‚ but at a much slower rate. The activation energy is the minimum amount of energy need for a chemical reaction to occur‚ yielding from a given set of reactants. In enzymatic reactions‚ we have substrates which are reactants of reaction bound to an enzyme. While an active site

Recrystallization Abstract: Technical grade aniline was reacted with acetic anhydride to give acetanilide a dark brown color‚ due to the presence of impurities. Crystallization of the crude product from water was combined with decolorization with activated carbon‚ furnished pure acetanilide as white flakes‚ melting point 112-115°C‚ yield 70.3%. Experimental: 2 grams of technical grade aniline and 15ml water were placed in a 125ml Erlenmeyer flask. Then‚ 2.5ml of acetic anhydride was

Introduction: To achieve genetic experiments with haploid organisms‚ genetic strains of different genotypes must be crossed from one another. Following fertilization and meiosis‚ the meiotic products can be analyzed as the ascomycete fungus‚ Sordaria fimicola. Sordaria can be used as a model to study meiotic segregation. The trait followed was the ascospore color. Ascospore color is a single gene trait therefore it is easily observed under a light microspore. Which allele is dominant is very tough

Biology Laboratory Report MEASURING RATE OF WATER UPTAKE BY A PLANT SHOOT USING A POTOMETER Introduction All plants need salts minerals‚ water‚ CO2 and O2. To fulfill their requirements different plants use different ways. Lower plants use diffusion‚ however higher plants use vascular tissue that is located in the middle of the root and in the vascular bundles in the stem. The transpiration is the important process in the plant. The main reason is that transportation

Science of Biology Mrs. Farrow Lab 3 – Slime Time Submitted by Chase Kenemer 22 February 2015 Abstract Polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ polar substances and non-polar solvents dissolve‚ or pick-up‚ non-polar substances. In the conducted experiment‚ the polarity of molecules and their properties are explored. The results of using two solvents on both polar and non-polar inks‚ further verify this to be true. The student conducted the experiment given‚ using safe lab practices‚ that found the

to move in space. This is because there is no external forces act on the system. The forces acting between the bodies during the small interval of time when they are in contact cause changes in the velocities of each separate body. An exact determination of these forces is not practical but the presence of the forces can be allowed for by using a property known as the coefficient of restitution. The coefficient of restitution is the ratio of speeds of a falling object‚ from when it hits a given

There are many constants including the same brand of cucumber slices‚ the same amount of each substance applied‚ the same measuring tools being used‚ and the same observation time. The control of these scientists’ experiment is no substances applied. The Scientists have hypothesized that if salt‚ sugar‚ baking powder‚ are applied to the cucumbers‚ the salt will absorb the most wa‚ then the salt will be more efficient in absorbing water from the cucumber

Ammonia and Its Salts 1. Ammonia‚ NH3 is a very important compound in industry. 2. The main uses of ammonia: a) To manufacture nitrogenous fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate‚ ammonium nitrate and urea b) The liquid form is used as a cooling agent (refrigerant) in refrigerators c) As a raw material for the manufacture of nitric acid in the Ostwald process d) To be converted into nitric acid used for making explosives e) As an alkali to prevent the coagulation of latex
