Introductory Biology 1 Biology 1003 Fall Term 2011 Lab Number: 3 Title: Cell Energetics: Enzyme Role in Biological Reactions Name: Brandon Moore Student Number: 100819124 Lab day and time: Wednesday pm Date: Wednesday November 23‚ 2011 Introduction Enzymes are a key aspect in our everyday life and are a key to sustaining life. They are biological catalysts that help speed up the rate of reactions. They do this by lowering the activation energy of chemical reactions (Biology

Stoichiometry lab 1 Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to find the limiting reactant‚ also to find the percentage yield and percentage purity of the reaction that happens between Calcium Chloride and Sodium Carbonate. The other purpose was to know how the reaction can be balanced and created. Hypothesis: In this lab we are going to see a precipitation reaction. This is a reaction where two soluble salts Sodium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride are added together and the result is the precipitation

the stomach‚ the pancreas and the small intestine. It works on proteins and the products of its digestion are amino acids. The next main enzyme is carbohydrase‚ which is in saliva‚ the pancreas and the small intestine. The product of digestion is glucose. The last enzyme is lipase. It is found in the pancreas and the small intestine‚ it works on fats and produces fatty acids and glycerol. Lipase works best at a pH of

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to apply Mendel’s laws to predict the probability of the occurrence of a single event‚ of two independent events and of certain traits in offspring of parents exhibiting traits. Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk in 1866‚ who studied how traits were passed using pea plants. From his studies of inheritance‚ he created three laws of inheritance: the law of dominance‚ the law of segregation‚ and the law of independent assortment. He called genes ‘’factors’’

cyclohexanol was oxidized to form cyclohexanone. This was accomplished by pouring 2.0 ml of cyclohexanol and 1.0 ml of acetic acid into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. Under a fume hood‚ slowly add 30 ml of bleach‚ and oxidizing agent‚ to the mixture and stir for 20 minutes. Acetic acid will react with bleach to make it a better oxidizing agent and form hopochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid will then oxidize cyclohexanol. The mixture turned cloudy during the process but clear up after a few minutes. The flask

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

Presence of Alu element within PV92 on chromosome 18 in a mixed ethnical population and its connection with humans’ ancestral origins By Shiyu Song Biology 155Q LAB-A: 14:30-17:30 Dr. Jacob April 17th 2013 Abstract The Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 usually reflects a person’s ancestral origin. This study aimed to find the correlation between the presences of Alu insertion (+) within PV92 on chromosome 16 within a population. We used PCR to detect the Alu insertions

effective ranging from 16.3 to 87% while as in A. niger it was comparatively less the aqueous extract of Cleome amblyocarpa was effective ranging from 19.2 to 90.3% in A. niger while as it was 19.3 to 84.6% in P. notatum. This study for the first time reports inhibition of citrinin from medicinal plant extracts at these ranges. The present investigation showed that all the medicinal plant extracts were effective in decreasing the fungal biomass and citrinin production. Hence these plant extracts can be

Termite Lab Report The effect of ink on termite behavior Abstract Termites produce special chemicals within their bodies called pheromones. Because termites are usually found inside dark areas‚ pheromones help them communicate in these places. Past studies have suggested that ink inside ballpoint pens contains pheromones‚ causing termites to follow any trail created by the ink. If a pathway is drawn with an ink pen‚ then a termite will be attracted to the path and trace it due to the pheromones

Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to see how the colour of an apple would change (browning) over time‚ when placed in different conditions. When referring to the term “browning”‚ it is meant to imply the change of colour that occurs inside the apple‚ giving an appearance that is distasteful (Di Guardo et al.‚ 2013). Specifically‚ within this lab the apple was cut into 4 pieces with 3 pieces being placed on a weigh boat‚ and a 4th piece placed in a beaker of water. These weigh boats were
