The density of the golf ball in the lab is higher than the average density of a golf ball. This means that the golf ball was made for long shots in the golf course. The neutral buoyancy was successfully achieved when the molarity of the solution was 3.33M. Therefore‚ if the water hazards in golf ball courses had a higher molarity than 3.33M‚ then golf balls would float to the surface. However‚ repeated errors in the lab might have caused inaccurate calculations. For example‚ the beaker was too small

Natural enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction without being altered during the process. The enzyme used in this experiment was the β-galactosidase purified from E. coli. This enzyme hydrolyzes lactose and turns it into galactose and glucose. Since it is difficult to assay the activity of β-galactosidase‚ we will be using the artificial substrate‚ o-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG) instead of lactose. ONPG is an analog of lactose

Background and Aims: An agonist produces a physiological response upon binding to a receptor while an antagonist inhibits agonist-mediated responses. It is reported that muscarinic acetylcholine receptors‚ located on the ileum of the small intestine‚ initiate contractile activity when an agonist (acetylcholine) is present. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a competitive antagonist (atropine) on the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Methods: The isolated guinea pig ileum
