For this data analysis project‚ I conducted and experiment to investigate how the concentration of an acid affects the rate of the reaction. I have set up the experiment’s equipment as shown on figure 1. As you can see by figure 1‚ I have used the reaction between sodium thisoulphate solution and hydrochloric acid (HCL) to come up with results that will help me draw conclusions regarding the effects of the concentration of the acid. I decided to use this particular reaction due to the fact that

This could then be focused by the student as follows: “Does ethanol concentration affect the activity of bovine catalase?” It is not sufficient for the student merely to restate the research question provided by the teacher. Variables are factors that can be measured and/or controlled. Independent variables are those that are manipulated

William Perez Cell Biology 2440 Lab on protein Myosin Proteins are chains of amino acids that perform the most important functions in living organism. Every protein will contain an amino group‚ carboxyl group‚ a different R group and an alpha carbon with two hydrogens. There are nine types of functions proteins can have‚ enzymes‚ motor‚ receptor‚ structural‚ storage‚ transport‚ signaling‚ and special purpose proteins(antibodies). There are four levels of protein structure‚ primary‚ secondary

Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that

An investigation how sugar solutions of different concentrations affect osmosis. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. If a solution has a low concentration then the amount of (in the case of my investigation) sugar‚ the solute‚ will be low and the solution will be weak. If there is high amount of sugar then the solution will be concentrated (have a high concentration). When two solutions

A motor neuron‚ a nerve ending that is attached to a muscle fiber in Petzold’s huge bicep‚ sends a message to contract. This message goes to the neuromuscular junction‚ which is the connection between the actual nerve fiber and muscle fiber. As the message to contract reaches the terminals a neurotransmitter‚ a chemical messenger for the body‚ is released into the gap between the terminal end‚ and the sarcolemma and motor end plate called the synaptic cleft. The particular neurotransmitter is called

through this membrane is called dialysis . Diffusion is a form of passive transport. It is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration‚ until there is an even concentration. This movement is random because it is a result of kinetic energy. Diffusion is a slow process‚ but there are many factors that will affect it’s rate. The rate of diffusion will vary depending on the size of the particle. For example‚ a smaller particle will move faster than a large

proton-ATPase is a membrane protein that belongs to primary ATPase-transporters class. ATPases in this class are characterized by their ability to convert the chemical energy generated by ATP hydrolysis to kinetic energy required for the transport of ions through the membrane. ATPase transporters are classified to P-‚F-‚V-ATPases and ABC transporters. Fungal plasma membrane proton-ATPase belongs to class P-type ATPases . Other members of the P-type ATPase class include the Na+‚K+-ATPases of animal
