Tyler Cowan Professor Foltz Biology 181 April 8th 2015 Lab Report: Respiration Abstract: The objective of this lab was to figure out which has a higher cell respiration rate between crayfish and elodea. In order to figure this out we first set up three beakers to represent our control‚ elodea and crayfish and filled them with 75mL of culture solution which were dechlorinated making the solution acidic. We then had to place both the elodea and the crayfish in separate beakers filled with 25mL of

the rate in which Amylase breaks down starch into maltose. In this reaction starch is the substrate and maltose is the product. Amylase is an enzyme‚ Enzymes‚ also called catalysts‚ are in living things and there are thousand of them. Enzymes break down food by the active site on the Enzyme forming a chemical bond with a substrate and then water attacks the substrate until it is hydrolysed (split in 2). Equipment: Boiling tubes Timers/ stopwatch Starch Solution of Amylase colourless

way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes as well as NaCl‚ urea‚ glucose‚ albumin‚ powdered charcoal‚ and KCl. The step by step process was used by the software so that we could see the different kinds of reactions. According to the data found‚ we found that with high molecular weight compounds are too large to penetrate

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen

Abstract: The Enzyme Lab results where when the liver was frozen‚ its reaction was fast‚ and when it was hot‚ it was slow‚ and the liver that was at room temperature reacted slowly to medium. Introduction: The Enzyme Lab is to conduct investigations to determine the most favorable conditions for the most efficient enzyme activity. Variables to be used testing include temperature‚ pH values and surface area. Enzymes are proteins that speed up the rate of chemical reactions‚ which would otherwise

Be sure to clearly indicate in the blue line whether or not your sample was positive (+) or negative (-) for the given test. Then below that in the white area‚ type your observations‚ mainly focusing on the color‚ but also the layering as appropriate. Be sure your interpretations match your observations! The chart area will expand as you type. BENEDICT ’S

the purpose of this lab‚ it is quite useful to fully understand the following terms: optical rotation and carbohydrate. Optical rotation is measured by a polarimeter‚ which measures the polarization of light and the rotation of polarized light (influenced by enzymes). It is dependent on the concentration of sample‚ temperature‚ length of the tube and the observed rotation. The +/- degrees of the optical rotation determines the presence of d- and l- enantiomers. Finally‚ a

Comparing Fermentation Rate of the S. cerevisiae Yeast in the presence of MgSO4‚ NaF and Sodium Pyruvate Hypothesis In the fermentation of rate of yeast‚ S. Cerevisiae‚ there will be a higher/ faster rate of ethanol production‚ However‚ using catalytic enzymes would make the rate more faster‚ and MgSo4 will have a higher rate of CO2 than that of NaF and Sodium pyruvate as it act as a more better catalytic enzyme than the others.
