Purpose: To determine the effects of temperature on the enzymatic process of lactase. Hypothesis: Higher temperatures will yield a higher concentration of glucose. The reaction rate of lactase will be higher under warmer temperatures. Materials: 8 Diastix strips 7 test tubs 7 stoppers Thermometer…

Conclusion Questions: 1. In terms of maximizing diffusion, what was the most effective size cube that you tested? The 1 cm cube was the most effective at diffusion. It had a 89% diffusion and also had the biggest difference between surface area and volume. With a…

How is mRNA different than DNA? The function of mRNA is to copy information carried by 1 gene on DNA. Since it is only single sided and short (unlike DNA, which has a double backbone), it is able to exit the nucleus through a nuclear…

Explain the structure of DNA. DNA is made of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogen bases and is a large polymer made of nucleotide monomers. This ladder-like structure has two sugar phosphate backbones connected by hydrogen bonds formed by the nucleotide bases, which are facing inwards toward…
