DNA Structure Monday‚ 15 April 2013 9:01 AM - DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid DNA is a double-helix: it has two strands that twist around each other Each strand is made of single units call nucleotides It has a sugar-phosphate backbone Bases join the two strands by hydrogen bonds ○ These bases are cytosine‚ guanine‚ adenine and thymine. - Complementary base pairing is a key idea in genetics: C pairs with G‚ and T pairs with A. - Each strand of DNA can be millions of base pairs in length and is

Section 1 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WIRES? INTRODUCTION Electricity is usually invisible. Except for lightning and sparks‚ you never see it in daily life. However‚ light bulbs and a magnetic compass can show you when something electrical is happening. By observing their behavior and making a few assumptions‚ you can begin forming ideas about electricity. This type of thinking is called “building a model”. INVESTIGATION ONE: WHAT IS NEEDED TO LIGHT A BULB? 1.1 Activity: Lighting bulbs in a loop

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

My topic for the science fair project is "The effect of temperature in energy loss in a basketball". Some of my subtopics for my project include the pressure air and height in a basketball‚ the material a basketball is made out of and the size of the ball. Different sports require different size balls to correspond with the correct bounce it needs to be used during the sport. Thats why you would not be able to use a tennis ball to play basketball because it is too bouncy and a soccer

Aim: This experiment aims to determine what effect an increase in the surrounding temperature has on the plasma membrane of a typical plant cell structure. Hypothesis: An increase in temperature will damage and denature the plasma membrane and cause the cytoplasm and other substances contained within the membrane to leak out. Introduction: The purpose of a cell membrane is to control the transport of substances moving into and out of a cell. The membrane is an extremely thin layer (8 to 10 manometers

The effect of temperature on the cell membranes of beetroot cells and amount of pigment released. Apparatus • Corer size 4 • White tile • A Beetroot • Automatic Water Bath • Segregated knife • A thermometer • Stopwatch Method: • First take the white tile and the corer. Then collect a cylinder of beetroot by pushing the corer into the beetroot and withdrawing it. The cylinder remains inside the corer- so push it out with the end of a pencil. • Collect 3 cylinders

glucose to a solution of KMnO4 and H2SO4‚ the solution will turn colourless and it will take a specific time for the reaction to complete. By increasing the temperature‚ the time it takes (the rate) for the solution to completely change to colourless will be increased. Thus it can be said‚ that it is being hypothesized that an increase in temperature will cause an equal increase in the rate of the reaction. Method:1). Using a measuring cylinder‚ place 50 cm3 of sulphuric acid into a 250 cm3 beaker‚ add

On the Kelvin scale‚ 0 degrees is absolute zero‚ the coldest possible temperature. Absolute zero is equal to -273.15 °C or -459.67 °F) A. How does the change in temperature affect the speed of the molecules? __If the temperature is colder the molecules move slower and if the temperature is hotter the molecules move faster.
