the first part of the lab‚ we prepared a salivary amylase solution and aggregated acetic acid to detect the presence of mucin. Then‚ 4 test tubes were made of the following: Tube 1 = 3 ml starch + water + 37 degrees water bath; Tube 2 = 3 ml starch + saliva in water bath; Tube 3 = 3 ml starch (cooled) + 3 ml saliva (cooled) in ice bath; Tube 4 = 3 ml starch + 3 ml saliva 5 drops conc. HCL in water bath. An incubation period of 1 hour was followed and each was tested for starch and maltose. A similar

Purpose: To find out the densities and to find out the name of the unknown metals. (Based on the extensive and intensive properties) Check up the words mass‚ volume‚ density‚ extensive properties‚ and intensive properties. Where do the units for mass and volume) come from and what do they mean? What is the density of distilled water? What is Archimedes principle? Does temperature affect the density of a solid? Liquid? Gas? Materials: Safety glasses‚ 10‚ 25 or 50 mL graduated cylinders

Hypothesis I believe that food samples like the marshmallow and cracker will release the most energy per gram because they are mostly made of sugar and glucose which tends to release high amounts of energy when consumed since they are monosaccharide’s. Materials and Procedure List of materials used: * Safety Goggles * Lab apron * 10 cm by 10 cm piece of cardboard * Aluminum foil * 2 Large paper clips * Tape * Calorimeter (aluminum can‚ paper clips‚ copper string)

Hydrolysis of starch for fungal amylase Aspergillus Oryzae and bacterial amylase Bacillus Licheniformis at different temperatures. Maydelis Perez PI 4593042 Florida International University BSC 1010L‚ section UO9‚ March 6‚ 2013 Abstract Enzymes are very specific protein because they contain one active site on their surface that enable the substrate to bind to the enzyme and form the enzyme substrate complex and then release

UNKNOW BACTERIA LAB REPORT UNKNOWN 36 Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify two unknown bacteria from a mixed culture. The reason for identification of unknown bacteria was to help students recognize different bacteria through different biochemical tests and characteristics. This is important in the medical field because identification of unknown bacteria can help treat a patient by knowing the contributing source of a disease. Also knowledge of different bacteria helped others

Phelps‚ Biology 205 MW 2:10pm. Unknown Organism Paper The unknown organism tested in the Mesa lab was collected from in between the toes of my puppy‚ Riley. The original culture grown consisted of dozens of visibly different organisms of varying colony colors and growth patterns. I chose to test a smaller‚ red colony for my experiments. Based on its gram reaction and oxygen requirements‚ the following tests were performed to reach my presumptive ID: Test Performed Result Gram Stain +

(2) The yeast carbohydrate profile came out with glucose and fructose positive and Mannitol negative. The staph epidermidis was glucose‚ lactose and sucrose positive and mannitol negative. 3. Why is it important not to incubate the fermentation tubes more than 24 hours?(1) Because the sugar test will have a higher chance that the color will change and could alter the

Introduction In the amylase lab‚ it was being tested if amylase‚ an enzyme found in saliva‚ would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution‚ is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose‚ so is the amylase isn’t denatured‚ it should change colors. Amylase is an enzyme
