CHANDIGARH
The City Beautiful

Chandigarh is a city and union territory in India that serves as the capital of two states, Punjab and Haryana . It is also referred to as The City Beautiful due to its beautiful surroundings, central grid of gardens, each dedicated to different species of flora. The city of Chandigarh was the first planned city in India and is known internationally for its architecture and urban design. The city has projects designed by architects such as Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Jane Drew, and Maxwell Fry.

Rose garden Location - Sector 16, Chandigarh Named after India's former President, Zakir Hussain, this beautiful garden was set up in 1967 with the support of Chandigarh's first Chief Commissioner, late Dr M S Randhawa. Chandigarh rose garden contains more than 17,000 plants and has nearly 1,600 varieties of roses. It is a spacious garden covering an area of 27 acres and not just consists of gorgeous roses, but also trees of medicinal value. Some of the medicinal plants that can be spotted here are Bel, Bahera, Harar, Camphor and Yellow Gulmohar. Rose garden serves as the venue for hosting the annual festival of gardens, a major cultural event of the city.

Rock Garden Location - Sector 1, Chandigarh Rock garden is an epitome of creativity and innovation. It is a unique garden that consists of various art objects. But the best part about the rock garden is that each of its artwork has been made by using industrial & urban waste. It is located in Sector 1 between the Capitol Complex and Sukhna Lake. The credit for laying its foundation goes to Nek Chand, who was the then Road Inspector in the Engineering Department of Chandigarh Capital Project. Rock garden has been established in the form of an openair exhibition hall. The garden houses sculptures made by using a variety of different discarded waste materials like frames, mudguards, forks, handle bars, metal wires, play marbles,

    Amylase Experiment

    The main focus of this experiment was to find the relationship between temperature and the enzyme activity of amylase. This was achieved by attaining amylase enzyme, starch solution and potassium iodide (determines if enzymes hydrolyses the starch solution), water bath and a hot plate. The temperatures used for this experiment were room temperature, 37oC, 60oC, 80oC, and 90oC. The hypothesis developed was that as the temperature increased, so will enzyme activity. Therefore, the ability of the enzyme to break down the starch solution will occur at a faster rate because of the increased temperature. However, the enzyme will begin to denature if temperatures are over 50-60oC.…

    For Activity A, we first tested enzyme activity. First, we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then, we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that, we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that, we placed the test tube filled with catalase in a boiling water bath for five minutes. While we were waiting, we rinsed the unlabeled cup we used earlier when we tested enzyme activity. Then we used a H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into the rinsed unlabeled cup. After five minutes, we transferred 1 mL of the boiling catalase into the unlabeled cup with H2O2 in it with an unused transfer pipet and observed the results. After testing the effect of boiling on enzyme activity, we tested for catalase in living tissue. First, we rinsed the unlabeled 60 mL cup we used earlier. Then, we used a scalpel to cut a small piece of liver. After that, we macerated the piece of liver with a glass rod. When the liver was macerated enough, we put it in a cup with 10 mL of H2O2, which was transferred into the cup with a H2O2 syringe. Lastly, we observed the cup.…

    The purpose of this lab was to check the time needed for salivary amylase and phosphorylase to produce a negative result and how different concentrations affected those times. Enzymes are biological catalysts that can cause a specific chemical change in any part of the body (Walsh, 2002). Many of the reactions that take place within a cell would normally take place at temperatures substantially higher than those present inside a cell (Alberts et al., 2010). Because of this, these chemical reactions require the assistance of enzymes to catalyze the reaction and allow it reaction to occur quickly (Alberts et al., 2010). The substrate binds with the active site on the enzyme to form a substrate enzyme complex (Di Giuseppe, 2002). The substrate is then transformed into one or more products, which are released from the active site and the enzyme remains unaltered (Di Giuseppe, 2002).…

    Amylase Lab

    This lab was focused on determining the optimal temperature of the enzyme amylase responsible for catabolizing starch polymers and to see how different temperatures affected the rate as well as how effectively the enzyme worked. To proceed with the experiment the group set up four different test tubes for each, bacteria and fungal amylase, and labeled them accordingly with different temperatures as well as different solutions . Then the spot plates were placed on the time and temperature table created with napkins and iodine was added to the first row were the solutions would be added later according to the time and temperature of each row. Because iodine reacts and turns a dark black color when starch is present they could determine the optimal temperature of each type of amylase by looking at and comparing the color changes. The group could reach a conclusion because they observed that at low temperatures more starch was present as well as at high temperature which was were the most starch was present. Because of these observations they concluded that the optimal temperature for amylase should be at about fifty-five degree celsius.…

    Enzymes are specific-type proteins that act as a catalyst by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. Each enzyme binds closely to the substrate; this greatly increases the reaction rate of the bounded substrate. Amylase enzyme, just like any other enzyme, has an optimum PH and temperature range in which it is most active, and in which the substrate binds most easily.…

    In the amylase lab, it was being tested if amylase, an enzyme found in saliva, would be denatured by being put in an acid or high temperatures. This lab is about denaturing amylase. It is tested by exposing it to pH and temperature changes. It is then mixed with Benedict’s solution, is a solution that changes color from blue to reddish brown when maltose is present. Amylase breaks starch into maltose, so is the amylase isn’t denatured, it should change colors.…

The project commenced in the year 1985 and within a span of two years the city saw a dome shaped building standing proudly amidst the prodding arrays of roses. The efficient architectural designs of M/s Ravi Khosla Associates, the careful supervision of the Civil Contractor Mr. Vinod Kr. Bhim Singh and an investment of a sum of 40 lakhs, together led to the innovative creation of the planetarium, which was humbly named after our first Prime Minister Pt.

    Amylase Literature Review

    This study is an attempt to follow the activity of amylase because it has a major role in the life of living organisms and is found abundantly in them. Amylase is a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu, 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually into monosaccharide such as glucose with the help of amylase. (Fullick, Locke and Bircher, n.d.). If carbohydrates are not digested properly they may lead to adverse health consequences. Amylase is not only involved in the digestion of carbohydrate…
