Lab Topic: Temperature

Introduction:
In this experiment, water and potato enzymes were mixed to create a solution and placed into three test tubes. The first test tube was placed in 0 degrees Celsius, second test tube 22 degrees Celsius, and third in 95 degrees Celsius. The null hypothesis is when the temperature is changed; the concentration will not be affected. The alternate hypothesis is the more the temperature increases, the more the concentration decreases; as the temperature decreases, the concentration increases.

Results:
In the experiment, there are patterns within the data between concentration and temperature. The pattern that is shown in the data is the inverse relationship between concentration and temperature. The pattern is as the temperature increases, the concentration decreases, and vice versa. The results of the experiment support the alternate hypothesis by showing that certain temperatures such as, 0°C, 22°C, and 95°C effect the concentration of the water and potato enzyme solution. In this graph, concentration is on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. In the legend, it displays which line represents which temperature. From the data shown in graph, it can be concluded that a lower a temperature such as, 0°C, will have a higher concentration and a higher temperature such as, 95°C, will have a lower concentration.

Conclusions:
The data recorded in the graph is related to my hypothesis about the relationship between concentration and temperature. It shows that when a solution of water and potato is put into different temperature

    Purpose: Cells produce toxic wastes, in this experiment hydrogen peroxide, and without some sort of molecule to break it down the cell will die, along with the organism itself. However with the aid of an enzyme, catalase, hydrogen peroxide is able to be broken down into an intermediate and thereafter harmless substances water and oxygen. The goal of this lab is to measure the reaction rate of this process in different substances such as a liver, a vegetable, and breast tissue. By using variables such a pH and temperature we are able to how the rate of reaction is altered or improved. If it has improved, the optimum has been discovered and the enzyme will create a higher reaction rate. If above the optimal points, proteins will denature and the reaction rate will remain the same. This is vital for cellular activity for if homeostasis is not reached enzymatic activity will decrease or the enzymes will simply denature and the toxicity within the cell will increase killing the cell.…

    The percent difference for data set B is 11.1%, while the percent difference for data set C is 11.7% Error Analysis There were two main sources of error in this experiment. The biggest error is the sensitivity of the apparatus to accidental bumps. Anytime we bumped the table, even slightly, the horizontal surface on the apparatus would shift. It was very difficult to avoid this error, as even the slightest bump would make it move. This bump could change incline of the surface by as much as 10 degrees. If it were…

    From the graph I can clearly see that Distilled water has a much larger concentration of water then the cell sap in the potato tissue. I can make this conclusion because the results show a big increase in weight of the potato piece. Meaning that water has moved from outside the potato into the potato due to Osmosis, proving that the distilled water had a higher concentration of water, as water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration. I can also see that the glucose solution of 0.8M has a much lower water concentration then the cell sap in the potato tissue. I know this because the potato in the 0.8M solution decreased in weight by 0.5g. This means that due to Osmosis, water moved from inside the potato i.e. the higher concentration of water, to outside the potato i.e. the lower concentration of water.…

    In our test we put six different sliced up potatoes chips in solutions. The solution was different concentration of salt and water, one was 5% sugar, one 10%, one 15%, one 20% and one 30% salt concentration. We measured the mass of the potatoes chip before and after we put it into the solution. To keep the experiment fair we only changed one variable which was the salt concentration.…
