Assessment of Catalase Function Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab report was to test and measure the rate of substrate destruction by an enzyme‚ we tested the destruction of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by product of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. H2O2 + catalase → H2O + O2 A catalyst is a substance that lowers the

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

What were some constants in this lab? 2. Calculate the average rate of water loss per day for each of the treatments. (Humidity‚ Light‚ Fan‚ Dark‚ Room or control). 3. Explain why each of the conditions causes an increase or decrease in transpiration compared with the control

Taylor Durham Nutrition 101 Mr. Oropallo Lab Report #2: Fat Extraction From Food What is a triglyceride? Draw its structure. A molecule that contains three fatty acids attached at the oxygen atoms of glycerol. What are the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats? Drawn an example of each. If all bonds are single‚ the fatty acid molecule is saturated. If there is a double bond among the carbon atoms‚ the fatty acid molecule is unsaturated. What form does each of these fats take at

Introduction: During this unknown lab report various test were performed to differentiate microbes from each other and to compare metabolic and biochemical process. The gram stain distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria based on the composition of the cell wall. The Gram stain procedure distinguishes between Gram positive and Gram negative groups by coloring these cells red or violet. Gram positive bacteria stain violet due to the presence of a thick layer of peptidoglycan

Wave Nature of Light Objective: The purpose of this lab is to investigate interference‚ otherwise known as the diffraction of light. A beam of light acts a wave‚ and we are able to use equations so calculate the wavelength of the light used. The diffraction of a straight edge demonstrates that light waves bend around straight edges‚ allowing light to enter an area of shadow. When waves are superposed‚ they reinforce each other when crests are in phase and cancel out when they are not in phase

Abstract The objective of this lab was to determine the convective heat transfer coefficient of a heated sphere in an quiescent environment. In the experiment a hot brass sphere was put into water and cooled. The temperature of the sphere was recorded over a time of 600 seconds to see how it cooled and given temperature was recorded every 20 seconds. Results were then calculated at both of the time values 300 and 600 seconds. For the experimental results at time 300 seconds‚ the Rayleigh number

The Relationship Involving Acceleration‚ Net Force‚ and Mass Giho Park Purpose The purpose of this lab investigation is to observe the relationship among the net force‚ mass‚ and acceleration of an object. Hypothesis/Prediction Part A If the net force increases with a constant mass‚ then the acceleration would increase‚ because the force would push the object to increase the velocity. Part B If the mass of the cart increases with a constant net force‚ then the acceleration would
