Dixie earned her LPN and ADN from Hawkeye Community College. She then went on to complete her MSN at
Walden University. At Kaplan she serves as a full time nursing educator working specifically with Medical Surgical students in clinical, lab and classroom settings.
In her spare time Dixie enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, one grandson and her pets. She loves spending time outdoors and especially loves water-related activities like jet skiing and swimming.

Congrats to Gale
Winger for being elected to the student governance committee! Her advice to students is “School can get busy and crazy hectic at times, however, you must always remember to take a moment, breathe deep, and remember to take care of yourself. It is easy to forget your persona needs when you have the deadline and that quiz or test coming up to study for, you just have to make a little time for you! Also remember, there are a lot of great people on this campus that are available to help you. Reach out if there are problems, concerns needs or questions. We can not read minds, but we can help if you ask!”

    I am very committed to any clubs that i join and do work to the best of my ability at all aspects of the task at hand. This is demonstrated by my work in FIRST robotics i have been a part of FIRST robotics since the 5th grade every year learning new things and meeting new people from all over the world. Theses experiences have shaped me to want to be an ambassador to FIRST and other STEM related activities. From 5th to 9th grade I was part of FLL (FIRST lego league)…

    For Activity A, we first tested enzyme activity. First, we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then, we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that, we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that, we placed the test tube filled with catalase in a boiling water bath for five minutes. While we were waiting, we rinsed the unlabeled cup we used earlier when we tested enzyme activity. Then we used a H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into the rinsed unlabeled cup. After five minutes, we transferred 1 mL of the boiling catalase into the unlabeled cup with H2O2 in it with an unused transfer pipet and observed the results. After testing the effect of boiling on enzyme activity, we tested for catalase in living tissue. First, we rinsed the unlabeled 60 mL cup we used earlier. Then, we used a scalpel to cut a small piece of liver. After that, we macerated the piece of liver with a glass rod. When the liver was macerated enough, we put it in a cup with 10 mL of H2O2, which was transferred into the cup with a H2O2 syringe. Lastly, we observed the cup.…

    enzyme report

    In this lab we used a solution of lactase to test the chemical and physiological properties of this particular enzyme and determined whether the lactase came from human cells or bacterial cells. In the statistical analysis statistical formulas and techniques are used to analyze the significance of a set of data and the validity of the conclusions made based on that data. These are some terms and definitions that will be crucial to understanding the validity of this experiment. An enzyme is a protein that acts as a catalyst to lower the activation energy required for reactions to progress in the cells. Null hypothesis states that there will be no difference between the result of two separate variables A and B. The null hypothesis states in regards to the enzyme experiment that lactase will not bind preferentially, or more specifically, to maltose or lactose. Before a null hypothesis can be rejected we must notice a large difference between glucose produced from maltose versus lactose. Alternate Hypothesis states the opposite of null in that there will be differences between the results of A and B. Probability is an indication of likelihood very similar to a percent chance. All probabilities are between 0 and 1, with probability zero indicating an event is impossible and one indicating an event is certain to occur. T-value or t-Test is what is used to determine whether or not the null hypothesis is valid. This t-value can be used to create a p value which in turn will determine whether the results are statistically significant or not. Based on what I know about the effect of temperature on the enzymatic activity of lactase, I hypothesize that higher temperatures will cause denaturing in the enzyme causing it to be less effective and lower temperatures will more conducive to enzymatic activity, and a higher pH will be more conducive to enzymatic activity.…
