Lab Design Purpose: To determine how the pH affects the glucose levels caused by an enzyme-driven reaction Hypothesis: The test tubes containing solutions of ph 5, 7 to contain highest levels of glucose. Materials: 5 test tubes 5 rubber stoppers 1 marker 1 roll of masking tape 50 mL of 2% Milk (Lactose source) 10…
Purpose: To determine if size effects diffusion and which size is most effective. Hypothesis: The smallest cube will diffuse best, allowing the NaOH to travel through the Agar and react with the phenolphthalein in the mixture. Questions: In terms of maximizing diffusion, what was the most effective size cube that you tested? The smallest…
For this activity, my class was asked to model out Protein Synthesis: Transcription and Translation. Similarly to the DNA Structure and Replication assignment, we modeled the processes using pipe cleaners and beads. Firstly in Protein synthesis, DNA undergoes Transcription: DNA replicates one of its genes into forming Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA), a molecule similar to…
