simultaneously reduces the second hydrogen peroxide molecule to water2. The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase is represented in the following balanced equation:2H2O2(l) 2H2O(l) + O2(g). Dead cells may still be studied to learn more about enzyme function because as seen in the liver despite the fact that the cells are dead‚ the enzymes remain intact and active for several weeks‚ as long as the tissue is kept

ABSTRACT: The lab of one dimensional motion is a series of experiments that deal with different types of motion in a single direction. In the first experiment‚ one dimensional motion of a small cart on an air track is measured in a one photogate system. The acceleration was calculated by the infrared light emitting electrode of the photogate sensing the slacks on the picket fence. The calculation for gravity yielded 9.63 m/s^2‚ which is consistent with the accepted value of 9.8m/s^2. In the

Non-dividing cells remain in interphase and never enter the mitotic phase. (Lab Manual 64) Interphase is the synthesis of biological molecules including DNA and duplicated DNA with associated proteins. These comprise the chromatin that begin to condense toward the end of this phase‚ but are not yet visible. The nucleoplasm

Hanging at a Constant Determining the effect mass has on acceleration Block 5 11/25/12 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine the effect of additional mass added to a cart’s existing mass‚ without changing the applied force‚ on the acceleration of the cart. We will test this effect by hanging a constant mass to a cart and use a computer program‚ LoggerPro‚ to calculate the acceleration which is expressed through the

The underlining purpose of the experiment was to show that error is ok as long as you know what the flaws are and be able to explain they happened. The lab involved burning a Marshmallow‚ a CHEEZ-IT‚ a Cheeto‚ and A Chex. The heat from the burning snack food is then carried into the H2O and used to calculate the energy content. An improvement that could be made was a replacement for the paperclip; it was

bacterial amylase was measured as well. Discovering information‚ such as the optimal temperature‚ can help demonstrate the environment these organisms work best. Thus‚ if further studies are conducted on different enzymes‚ the more information is covered about certain organisms. In the experiment‚ each enzyme source was put to the test by being placed into different test tubes and baths with altered temperatures. In order to see how long the Amylase was hydrolyzing starch in different temperatures‚ Iodine

Homeostasis Lab: The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Purpose: To discover the effect that various levels of exercise have on specific body parameters. Hypothesis: If a subject walks up and down a flight of stairs for eight minutes‚ then they start to sweat more‚ their heart rate‚ body temperature‚ and breathing rate will increase‚ and there will be a change in their skin color on their arms and face‚ because the body will be trying to maintain homeostasis. Materials: You will

The purpose of this lab was to determine the effects of changes in variables such as temperature‚ pH and concentration on catalase enzyme activity. Proteins are organic compounds made up of amino acid subunits consisting of carboxyl and amino functional groups‚ linked together by peptide bonds through condensation reactions. They are an essential part of all living organisms. Enzymes are “biological catalyst used to speed up chemical reactions (Athanasopoulos‚ 2014). Normally‚ for chemical reactions;
Premium Enzyme Chemical reaction Catalysis
Enzymes are catalytic proteins that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. our body cells depend highly on enzymes to complete many important functions‚ such as digestion and metabolism. Enzymes are selective‚ in which each enzyme can only speed up a specific reaction. There are molecules that enzymes work with called substrates. substrate bind to an area of an enzyme called active site. There is specificity between the enzyme and substrate that react with

Fill dish 1 about 2/3 full with distilled water. Fill the other 3 about 2/3 full with 0.2% NaHCO3 solution. Set these aside for later. 2. Pour about 100 ml of 0.2% NaHCO3 solution into a flask with a side arm. 3. Get three or four spinach leaves and cut 40-50 disks with a cork borer. Do not include the large veins in the disks
