An Investigation into the Effect of Lipase Concentration on the Hydrolysis Of Fats Using the data loggers a recording of the pH was taken every 5 seconds and for each experiment the data loggers produced graphs of the change in pH. From each of these graphs a gradient was calculated which showed the rate of pH change per second. Firstly I calculated the gradients by choosing the steepest section of the graph and dividing the change in pH of this section by the time. However this method proved
Effect of Temperature on the Rate of a Lipase Reaction I am going to look at the effect of temperature on the rate of a Lipase Reaction, and to look at this I will be changing the temperature variable. In order to measure this, I will be doing the following practical: 1) Add 5cm³ of milk and 1cm³ of Lipase solution at different temperatures. 2) Then I will measure the reaction every 30 seconds, from 30 seconds to 2 minutes with a pH probe (as lipase breaks down into fatty acids) to test
The Effect of Temperature on an Enzyme's Ability to Break Down Fat Aim: To investigate the effect of temperature on an enzyme’s (lipase) ability to break down fat. Hypothesis: The graph below shows the rate increasing as the enzymes get closer to their optimum temperature (around 35 degrees Celsius) from room temperature. The enzyme particles are moving quicker because the temperature increases so more collisions and reactions occur between the enzymes and the substrate molecules
Osmosis on Potato Chips Measure the effect of osmosis on potato chips in various concentrations of sugar solution as well as distilled water. Principles Involved ------------------- Osmosis Osmosis is the process by which water passes through a semi permeable membrane from a solution of lower concentration to a solution of higher concentration until both solutions are of equal concentration. Hypothesis ---------- Osmosis will change the mass of the potato chips. The fashion
exhange is the partially permable cell membrane. This cell membrane plays an important part in Diffusion. Cell membrane and Diffusion Diffusion is the movement of the molecules of gas or liquids from a higher concentrated region to a lower concentration through the partially permeable cell membrane along a concentraion gradient. This explanation is in the diagram shown below: [IMAGE] Turgor When a plant cell is placed in a dilute solution or a less concentrated solution then the water
Investigating the Effect of Different Concentrations of Sucrose Solutions on Potato Tiessue Planning For my GCSE biology coursework, I am going to conduct an investigation into the effect of different concentrations of sucrose solutions on potato tissue. Text Box: A measuring cylinder Apparatus =========================================== 18 test tubes [IMAGE][IMAGE] Text Box: 1M sucrose solution [IMAGE]A test tube rack [IMAGE] Cork borer Text Box:
The Effect of Different Concentrations of Salt Solution on Potato Tissue My preliminary work involves me preparing for my actual experiment. I will do the experiment and record my findings; however it is merely a practice for the real thing. This will allow me to correct any mistakes that I may make in this task and allow me to change them, if needed, in the forthcoming project. Apparatus list for my preliminary investigation: * Cork borer. * Potato, * Salt solution (0 – 100%
How Much Gas is Given Off When Hydrochloric Acid and Marble Chips React Aim === The aim of this experiment is to find out how much gas is given off by marble chips when they react with hydrochloric acid. This will tell me if the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the speed of reaction. Variables ========= I could change: the temperature, the percentage of hydrochloric acid, the number of marble chips, or the size of the marble chips. I will change the percentage
Chips Planning Introduction: the definition of osmosis is the movement of water particles from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a partially permeable membrane. Aim of investigation: I am trying to find out how external concentration of liquid surrounding a potato chip affects it - does it increase or decrease in mass etc. Method, diagram and equipment: Diagram of experiment Equipment · 5 Boiling tubes · weighing scales · sucrose solution · cork borer
concentrated solution will have a high concentration of water than the inside of the cell. Once the cell takes in maximum water the cell becomes turgid. If the cell was to be placed in a high concentrated solution, water would leave the cell because the cell would contain a low concentrated solution. So in the low concentrated solution there will be a high concentration of water and in the high concentrated solution there will be a low concentration of water. So what is happening is water
investigate how the concentration of sucrose affects osmosis in plants. Introduction: I will be investigating how the concentration of sucrose affects osmosis in plants. The variables I could change would be the temperature of the solution. The higher the temperature of the solution the more osmosis would occur. The surface area of the potato strip, the larger the surface area the more osmosis would occur as there would be more area exposed for osmosis to take place. The concentration of the solution
The Effect of Solution Concentration on Osmosis The aim of my experiment is to find out the effect of sucrose solution concentration on osmosis in potato cylinders. To do this I will conduct an experiment. Introduction To carry out my experiment, I will place the potato tubes into a solution containing part sucrose and part water. The potato tubes will all be cut out of the potato using a cork borer and will all be cut to the length of 25mm. This will remain constant throughout each

mass before and after the experiment to use the results to calculate the rate of osmosis, and to find trends in the vegetables. To ensure the experiment is fair, I will control all the other variables (Temperature, size of chip at 5cm x 1cm, concentration of solution at 0.2M etc.). I will repeat the experiment, and obtain averages for the change in mass. This allows a more accurate analysis to be obtained. Finally I will keep all the vegetables in the solutions for 1 hour, and then repeat this.
different concentrations of sucrose solution effect potato tissue. Aim How do different concentrations of sucrose solution effect potato tissue. Background Information Osmosis is the movement of water molecules though a partially permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential. High Concentration Low Concentration The membrane lets small water molecules pass though but not large ones. The flow continues until the concentration becomes
Between HCL and Marble Chips Planning I have decided to investigate the effect of different concentrations of hydrochloric acid on marble chips. I want to see how long it takes for 30cm of carbon dioxide to be given off once the acid and marble chips start reacting. I carried out a preliminary experiment to see what sort of time ranges I was going to expect because I wanted to get the concentration levels right otherwise I could have been waiting for a long time. I didn't have that sort of
Chardakov's Banana Experiment Introduction The ability of water molecules to move is known as their water potential. Water molecules always move down a concentration gradient towards a region of lower water potential, that is, to where there are fewer water molecules, to where the water potential is relatively more negative. As the water potential of one solution decreases, the density of the solution increases and as the water potential of a solution increases the density of this

solution provides the optimum pH for the bacteria to work at. Following the bacterial action, the solution is drained off of the impermeable rock or pumped out of the ground through the remaining holes and the remaining solution prepared for concentration and extraction of the Cu2+ ions. 200 Extraction and stripping then occur, here the copper ions are selectively removed from the leaching solution by the "ligand exchange solvent extractionγ " method. During this a good ligand (a molecule
