...now). Measure the pH just like in step 4 of the Control Variable Procedure. Try to achieve a pH level of 5 by adding more drops of lemon juice if needed. Test the pH after each drop is added. Step 2: Repeat step 1 for each test tube 3-5. The pH for each test tube should reduce in number and become more acidic. Test tube 3 should be a pH of 4, Test tube 4 should be a pH of 3, and Test tube 5 should be a pH of 2. This all can be achieved by increasing the amount of lemon juice in each test tube. Step 3: Once all the test tubes 2- 5 have the required pH level, add 10 drops of 0.66% catechol substrate to each test tube 1 through 5. Step 4: Once each tube is filled with the required amount of substrate, it is time to add the enzyme. Have one lab partner add 10 drops of catechol oxidase enzyme (potato juice) to each of the test tubes. As they add the enzyme, another partner must follow right behind and invert each tube just like before in step 2 of the Control Variable Procedure. Once the first tube is inverted start a timer for 6 minutes like...

...Christian Rodriguez Mrs. Gentry AP Biology September 27, 2015 Lab Abstract Enzymes are proteins produced by living cells. In an enzyme, the substrates bind with the active site of an enzyme, breaking them down into other molecules. Enzymes acts as catalyst which lower the reaction energy and allows it to take place in less time and at lower temperatures. Enzymes can be used in a reaction without actually being used up; therefore, they can be used reversibly. Temperature, salt concentration, substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, and pH can affect enzyme reactions. If the pH is too basic, the enzyme gains (H+) and denaturalizes; likewise if the pH is too acidic, then the enzyme loses (H+) and becomes denaturalized. A major benefit...

...Before I took this class, I was already afraid of its difficulty. This is my first science AP class and I was anxious that I wouldn’t be able to handle it. As the year went by, I continued to still be afraid of failing, but not as much as I was before I took the class. I now know that if I complete all my tasks and study, I will do fairly well. As a junior, I feel like taking this class now is the best time for me. This course is preparing me for what college classes are like. I am also learning a lot about college applications and what to do in my senior year. The most difficult task in this class so far was the very first lab that we were assigned to do in the summer. It was hard for me because I did not like writing lab reports and I am not good at them. I also did not like working with the pill bugs. My proudest achievement in this course was when I got an 84.5 on my midterm. I studied for a long time and was in fear of how difficult it was. After I took the test, I thought I had failed. I was happy when I saw that I had passed. I think I still need to work on my studying habits. I need to study more before a test and actually read the textbook instead of skimming it for important information. I am a visual learner. I feel...

...Briana Tran AP Biology August 17, 2014 Basil Seed Experiment Lab Report I. Abstract: Temperature, sunlight, and water affect the growth of plants. However, what if the manipulation of basil seeds itself also affects its growth? Generally, basil seeds require 5-10 days for it to germinate. Germination is the process of when a seed first sprouts from the seedling. In addition, for the basil seeds to receive full exposure to the sunlight, moving them from the East side of the house to the West side of the house is required each day. The purpose of this experiment is to observe whether different treatments on basils seeds before they are planted, affect the length of time they germinate compared to one that is untreated. After the...

AFM and SFM have been also newsworthy items in Science and Nature in the past year [14••,15•–17•,18••,19]. An introduction to AFM is covered well in a recent issue of Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, which describes and illustrates the design and mode of operation of AFM [4••]. The AFM images sample surfaces by raster-scanning a sharp tip back and forth over the surface. The tip is on a cantilever that responds to height changes on the sample surface in a way that generates a topographical map of the surface. We build on this excellent introduction by presenting some of the many advances in SPM that have occurred since that review was written.

...Applying the Balanced Scorecard to Education DEMETRIUS KARATHANOS PATRICIA KARATHANOS Southeast Missouri State University Cape Girardeau, Missouri T he concept of the balanced scorecard (BSC) was first introduced by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton (1992) in their now widely cited Harvard Business Review article, “The Balanced Scorecard—Measures that Drive Performance.” The widespread adoption and use of the BSC is well documented. For example, Kaplan and Norton (2001) reported that by 2001 about 50% of the Fortune 1000 companies in North America and 40% to 45% of companies in Europe were using the BSC. The basic premise of the BSC is that financial results alone cannot capture value-creating activities (Kaplan & Norton, 2001). In other words, financial measures are lagging indicators and, as such, are not effective in identifying the drivers or activities that affect financial results. Kaplan and Norton (1992) suggested that organizations, while using financial measures, should develop a comprehensive set of additional measures to use as leading indicators, or predictors, of financial performance. They suggested that measures should be developed that address four perspectives: 1. The financial perspective. Measures in this perspective should answer the question, “How should we appear to our shareholders?” 2. The customer perspective. These measures should answer the question, ABSTRACT. Although the application of the balanced scorecard (BSC) in the business sector...
