Investigation on Effects of Different pH on Enzyme Activity How does the different pH buffers affect activity of potato enzyme/extract? Introduction: Proteins are polymers that are made up of smaller units/monomers called amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids‚ thus make up many different combinations in types‚ numbers of amino acids as well as their orders – an explanantion for why there are so many proteins. Every protein‚ due to various reactions of amino acids to each

Title: The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction: 1. Eukaryotic cells are much more intricate than prokaryotic cells. The first thing observed is the assortment of structures in the cytoplasm. The fluid filled region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. These structures along with the nucleus are the organelles‚ each having a specific function in the cell. The organelles are by membranes divided in proficient sections .The plant cell is made up of a rigid thick wall

Experiment 1 : Design and preparation of buffers effective at different pHs Abstract The body uses natural buffers to maintain the many different pH environments in our body. This is important for optimum activity of our enzymes. When doing experiments in vitro using these enzymes it is important to mimic intracellular conditions using artificial buffer systems in order to obtain accurate results. In this experiment the buffering properties of three artificial buffer systems containing acetic

Acid-Base Titration Using a pH Meter Bradley Holloway and Jennifer Parker Period 6 April 16‚ 2013 Introduction: In chemistry‚ the ability to find molarities of acidic and basic solutions is a convenient way to convert between moles of solute and the volumes of their solutions. Through the process of titration‚ the molarity of these acids and bases can be found to a high level of precision. To begin titration‚ one solution is added to a second solution slowly until a certain point

Osmosis is the diffusion of free water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is complete when all of the water molecules have been evenly spread out and can take place either in plant cells or animal cells‚ so long as a partially permeable membrane is present. Osmosis can also be conducted in the visking tubing experiment‚ where the visking tubing is an artificial permeable membrane. So how does Osmosis take place
