THE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN pH ON THE ACTIVITY OF ENZYMES Introduction: Enzymes are catalysts that speed up‚ and control chemical reactions within a cell and break down complex molecules into smaller ones. Some of the chemical reactions that take place in the body produce toxic by-products which need to be converted. The liver produces hydrogen peroxide‚ which is extremely poisonous. When the catalase comes in contact with the hydrogen peroxide‚ it is broken down into water and oxygen. Aim:

Life Science Lab. A. Arnold Tuesdays @ 2:30 September 30th‚ 2011 Lab Report: Nuclear and Cell Division. PART A: Stages of Mitosis in my own words. 1. Interphase: DNA has formed already‚ but it remains in the simple form of chromatin. Chromatins are structures that are loosely coiled in the cell.3 I also observed during my lab that this was the only stage where I could still see a nucleus and nucleolus intact within the cell; this is because it’s the only stage where the nuclear membrane has

Labs 4 & 5 Lab Four: Experiment 1 1. At what magnification do you first notice the ragweed pollen? I first noticed it when the magnification is at about 30 2. Which is bigger‚ rhinovirus or E. Coli? E. Coli is bigger 3. Based on the magnification‚ how many of the E. Coli can fit into the same space as the head of a pin? 10‚000 E. Coli 4. About how many red blood cells could fit across the diameter of a human hair. (Again‚ look at the magnification scale)? About 100 blood cells

The Rate Of Photosynthesis: Lab report 1) Construct a graph of your data 2) Using the graph‚ estimate the time at which 50 percent of the leaf disks were floating on the surface. The point at which 50 percent of the leaf disks are floating will be you point of reference for future investigations Using the graph the estimated time that roughly 50% of the leaf disks were floating on the surface was around the 10th minute. At the 10th minute our number rose up to

Abstract: This report presents the reason why the ocean does not freeze in the winter. Since the ocean consists of salt water‚ an experiment was done to test the effect of freezing on salt water compared to pure water. The experiment was conducted three times in order to obtain accurate results and eliminate errors. In addition to the salt and pure water experiment‚ a variation of this experiment was created to test other options. In the variation experiment the effect of freezing on sugar water

To whom it may concern‚ It has come to my attention that Liam‚ a young man of 23‚ had recently been diagnosed with severe liver damage. The disease had developed from 10 years of heavy drinking and as Liam was so young the disease was obviously more susceptible. After many advanced treatments being used on him‚ the only chance of saving Liam’s life was through a liver transplant‚ but sadly Liam was refused the transplant. Liam had begun drinking

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
