Adhesion How does temperature change affect surface tension? As the temperature of a liquid increases‚ its surface tension decreases. When water heats up‚ the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules‚ thereby lowering the surface tension. This is why hot water is more effective when cleaning; its low surface tension allows it to more easily penetrate the fibers of a material like fabric

Introduction: In this lab i used glucose and starch to show if the cell membrane is permeable‚ impermeable‚ or selectively permeable to these substances. Dialysis tubing is a plastic like substance that has small pores in it. These pores allow certain chemicals to flow into and out of the cells. The size of the molecule determines what goes through the tubing. On of the materials that we will be using is glucose. glucose is a simple sugar that easily dissolves in water. To test for the presence of

Proteins are arguably the most important things that people know the least about. As OpenStax CNX puts it‚ “Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins.

purpose of this lab was to select the suitable test for an organic molecule and define the safe process for that test. An organic molecule is normally found in or produced by living systems. (Unknown Author‚ 2014‚ www.biology-online.org/organic_molecule)In this lab one was supposed to infer the results of the test and be able to identify if major biomolecules are present. You were to analyze a variety of tests including analyzing a glucose solution for the presence of simple reducing sugars‚ analyzing

2013 Lab: Biosynthesis of Starch Introduction: In this lab we learned the concept and procedure of synthesizing starch. We also learned the effects of pH and temperature on the reaction rates of amylase.. In the process of the synthesis lab we learned phosphorylation using a potato‚ which was what we synthesized. The phosphorylation took place after the addition of primer. There are two different types of starches used are amylose and amylopectin. To test for the presence of starch‚ the Starch

Title: Testing For Macromolecules Objective: Introduction Proteins are complex molecules which consists of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen and nitrogen. All proteins are made up of one or more polymers‚ known as polypeptides. Its monomers are amino acids. Protein can be divided into primary structure‚ secondary structure‚ tertiary structure and quaternary structure. It is important for all living things in the world as they form enzymes‚ antibodies and hormones. Materials and Procedures:

Bita Heydari Lab report 3 The Effects of Differentiation on Enzymatic Activity Introduction HL-60 cells are capable of undergoing differentiation to induce different cell types. HL-60 cells can undergo morphological changes‚ changes in gene expression‚ and changes in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe

Major Biological molecules There are many Biological molecules but this discussion will be about the 4 Major biological molecules and how they are used in a living system. This discussion will also include major subtypes of molecules. The four Major biological molecules are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ nucleic acids. Carb is an abbreviation for carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. The nervous system and brain

In this lab we employed various assays utilizing a biuret reagent‚ coomassie brilliant blue reagent‚ and ultraviolet light in order to determine the identity of six unknown solutions and the concentration of a bovine serum albumin sample. We were given three samples that lacked protein‚ and three samples containing proteins‚ and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted‚ based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used included
