    Measuring the effect of the concentration of caffeine on heartbeats. Caffeine is a stimulant which increases cardiac arrhythmia (improper heart rate) by increasing stress hormone (e.g. adrenaline) secretions. It also increases blood pressure which contributes to the blockage of receptors such as adenosine A1 and A2 receptors. The caffeine blocking receptors also blocks vasodilatory function‚ in which blood vessels become less dilated. Hence wise‚ caffeine is also known as a mild stimulant of the

    were 2‚4‚7‚9 and 10. All of these solutions affected the beetroot‚ but the most acidic solutions were the ones that did the most damage to the membrane. This is because the ph affects the proteins within the phospho lipid bi-layer. The acidic ph breaks the hydrogen bonds therefore denaturing the proteins and allowing beetroot pigment to secrete form the cell. 7. The ethanol solutions that were used were 11%‚ 25% and 50% ethanol. The beetroot cell was almost immediately affected by the 50% alcohol

    Bath Salts or Designer Cathinones The principal active ingredient in bath salts MDPV (methylenedioxypryrovalerone) is a highly potent synthetic cathinone derivative. The Navy takes a zero tolerance stance when it comes to the use of synthetic drugs. According to SECNAV Instruction 5300.28D‚ the use of any controlled substances and designer drugs such as "bath salts" is prohibited and could result in discharge from the Navy. From the Seattle Weekly: “According to the feds‚ the drug first

    Concentration The Problem In many colleges over 8% of the students report problems concentrating on their studies. Most of these students blame outside distractions for their problems. Many research studies manipulating noise levels and distractions have found that such disturbances may increase‚ decrease‚ or not even affect concentration. These researchers have therefore concluded that distracters don’t cause concentration problems directly. It is the way the distracters are interpreted

    Effects of Temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity INTRODUCTION Enzymes‚ proteins that act as catalysts‚ are the most important type of protein[1]. Catalysts speed up chemical reactions and can go without being used up or changed [3] Without enzymes‚ the biochemical reactions that take place will react too slowly to keep up with the metabolic needs and the life functions of organisms. Catecholase is a reaction between oxygen and catechol

    The effect of enzyme concentration‚ substrate concentration‚ pH‚ and temperature on the enzyme catalase. Introduction: Enzymes are biological catalysts; proteins and RNA. They are required for most biological reactions and they are highly specific. Each enzyme has an active site. The active site is the spot on the enzyme where a substrate fits in. Substrates binds with enzymes through the active site. Enzymes‚ being highly specific‚ only fit with one certain substrate. Enzymes and substrates

    The aim of this experiment is to better understand the process of fermentation of yeast in different concentrations of sucrose. The experiment worked with yeast and sugar (sucrose and glucose) to determine the rate of fermentation by testing the pressure of C02 in the test tube. The experiment tested the metabolic capability of yeast anaerobically meaning no oxygen was present (this was ensured by the thin layer of oil on the top of the solution). This means that the metabolic rate of the yeast could
