Diksha Madaan November 18, 2014 Lab Report- Digestion A & P 2 Introduction: Objective: Enzymes of activity in Gastrointestinal Tract Background Information: Digestion is a process of breaking down food via mechanical and chemical action into small molecules such as proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates and fats. The GI tract is also known as the digestive tract. There are many organs associated with the GI tract but the solid organs are the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. The hollow
Enzymes: Chemical Degradation of Albumin through Light Absorbance Mariel Melchor, Itzae Facio, Sarahi Iturriaga, Sarai Chairez, Evelyn Tovanche University of Texas at El Paso BIOL 1107 October 9, 2014 Horacio Gonzalez Abstract In this enzyme lab, we worked to observe enzymatic activity by measuring how fast pepsin degrades albumin by observing the changes in absorbance of albumin using a spectrophotometer. The wavelength set through a spectrophotometer is the controlled variable
Looking Into Lactase Purpose Why am I doing this lab? What am I trying to find out? The purpose of this lab was to see in which environments (temperature and pH levels), the Lactex® tablet would be effective (if at all). In the first section the purpose of the lab was to discover what type of milks the three milks were. The experiment is done on cow milk, rice milk, and soy milk. The importance of the next section was to see the effectiveness of the tablet in different pH levels. The second section
Effect of different temperatures on amylase activity. Literature review This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu, 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually
EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON GERMINATION LAB REPORT By : Ayşe Sağlam 10-A 07. December. 2015 Introduction: Germination is the process of the plant developing from the seed. There are several factors, which affect the germination rate and speed. These factors include light, temperature, oxygen and water. If the condition the seed is in is not suitable for germination, (such as lack of water or very low or high temperatures) the seed will remain inactive. If the conditions
Mixed Unknown Bacteria Lab Report Biology 2460-002 Jamuna Kadariya November 24, 2014 Unknown number: thirty-four I. Abstract There are many types of bacteria and they produce different enzymes. However, some bacteria can produce same enzymes. In order to identify the particular enzymes produce by each bacteria specific test needs to be done. Among various types of enzyme producing bacteria, gram- negative and gram-positive bacteria are given priority in our experiment. There are four main types
Media composition: Fermentation broth was prepared using two different substrates. The composition of the culture broth is given below: Fermentation broth using waste bread as substrate: Waste bread 1.5% (NH4)2SO4 0.2% MgSO4.7H2O 0.04% KCl 0.1% KH2PO4 0.2% Yeast Extract 0.1% pH 6.5 Fermentation broth using waste of Citrus sinsencis as substrate: Waste fruit 1.5% (NH4)2SO4 0.2% MgSO4.7H2O 0.04% KCl 0.1% KH2PO4 0.2% Yeast Extract 0.1% pH 6.5 Media preparation: Using
E. Coli was grown in nutrient broth (0.3%beef extract and 0.5%peptone) to an early stationary phase (i.e. 18 h) at 37°C.[5] Anti bacterial activity of the nano-carbon materials prepared were tested by immersing 1mg each of PWACT, TWACT, PWAGNP and TWAGNP in 1000 ml of water spiked with E.coli. The same was taken in a 2000 ml sterile, transparent glass vessel with screw cap and stirred for 30
BIOFUELS Two problems roused the world’s concern in recent years. One is energy crisis caused by the squandering of petroleum fuel. Second problem is environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, global warming, etc. To deal with such problems, renewable sources, utilization technology and bioenergy production technology have been developed. Bioethanol as one of the biofuel can be blended in different proportions in automobiles with gasoline. Biobutanol is also a new biofuel (Liu, Wang, & Zhang
