    the world. It has spawned dozens of different flavors and merchandise. However, it is a highly acidic substance, with a whopping 2.52 on the pH scale. The lower the pH number, the higher the acidity. This is because of the acids that make up the drink, such as phosphoric acid, added to give a tart flavor and thickness (or viscosity) to the drink. Tylenol is a brand of acetaminophen that they used for the project. Acetaminophen is a crystalline compound used in many brands of pills in order to relieve

    The importance of maintain the correct acid base balance in the body is crucial for a healthy lifestyle. Human bodies are very sensitive to pH levels and must be maintained to prevent any health issues. The term pH means potentials oh hydrogen. To function properly our blood pH is regulated at 7.4. The degree of acidity or alkalinity is referred to as the acid base balance. The acidity levels increase when the acidic compounds in the blood increase of the alkaline compounds in the blood fall. Alkalinity

    Effect of AA content on the swelling ratio of hydrogel Fig. 3b shows the effect of AA on the Q value of hydrogel. With increasing concentration of AA, the Q values of hydrogels increased and then decreased. When AA amount was more than 7 g, the Q values of hydrogels decreased because when the concentration of AA was high, the collision probability between monomers would increase, thus increasing the graft length of sulfonated cellulose, favoring the formation of a polymeric network at higher Q values

    The purpose of this lab is to observe the catalase found in liver cells by measuring how temperature, pH and enzyme concentrations affect the reaction rates of enzymes. Background Enzymes are considered to be “biological catalysts” meaning they can speed up a chemical reaction in a cell without being used up in the process. Enzymes do this by lowering the amount of energy needed to activate the process. The lower the activation energy, the faster the reaction. Without enzymes, vital life processes

    haunt my dreams forever. A client was throwing up all her own blood, organs, and bones with a shadowy figure behind her holding a bottle. Right after I burst into her room the lights flickered off into a complete darkness. I was pushed down and a drop acid green liquid landed on my shoulder and burned me. It hurt so bad that it had knocked me out cold. When I had awaken I was on the couch in my boss’s office. He looked grave as he spoke, “As I hear it you were in Elena’s room when she died and I would

    Catalase lab background The question being answered by these experiments is: How do different conditions affect the productivity of enzymes? Enzymes are produced by cells and they act as catalysts, which means they are organic molecules that speed up chemical reactions. How effectively they work depends on the conditions they are in, such as level of temperature, pH level, substrate concentration, and salt concentration. In these experiments, Catalase will be placed in different conditions with hydrogen

    MacConkey Agar plate Extremely similar to Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, MacConkey Agar is a selective and differential media used to isolate organisms based on their lactose fermentation ability. It contains lactose, bile salts, neutral red, and crystal violet (Leboffe, A Photographic Atlas for the Microbiology Laboratory). Just like the Eosin Y and Methylene Blue dyes in the EMB plate, the bile salts and crystal violet in the MacConkey plate encourage the growth of Gram-negative bacteria while preventing

    are done with the very same components, however, there lies a trick that you can leverage to make it work. The thing is, cleaners like washing soda are taken under consideration as a base, while the accumulation removers such as citric acid happen to be... well.. acid. Though both of these ingredients are crucial for a quality recipe, they will neutralize each other if you use both of them simultaneously. Several homemade recipes blend them together, though they are peak performers when used separately

    temperature, glucose level, calcium and concentration of hydrogen ions (pH). Changes in the above mentioned constituents of body’s internal environment constitute the stimuli that trigger the needed response or feedback to maintain a steady equilibrium. Acid-base balance, also known as stable pH or isohydria (Josef, 2015) is highly needed by cells of the human body because any changes outside the normal range or set point can have very devastating consequences to the cells or the entire body.
