Lactase Lab

Experimenting with temperature and lactase Cam, Joy, Anna and Jaxson April 18th, 2019 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to see how temperature affects the rate of an enzyme driven reaction. By heating each test tube to a different temperature, we are hoping to get different results on a Diastix Hypothesis: If the temperature…

DNA and Protein Synthesis Lab

DNA Model 1) Explain the structure of DNA- use the terms nucleotides, anti-parallel strand, and complementary base pairing DNA is a large polymer made of nucleotide monomers with two backbones. It contains deoxyribose, phosphate, and nitrogen bases. The phosphate and sugar make up the backbone and the nitrogen base attaches to the other strands. The structure…

Week 16- Solving Rational Equations

This week in pre-calculus, we learned how to solve rational equations. We can cross multiply when there are two fractions on both sides of the equal sign, but when there are more than two fractions, you would have to find the common denominator and multiply each side to get rid of the denominator to solve the equation….
