factors have over these functions, and lastly to read and interpret graphs related to enzyme function. This type of study had various parts, therefore there are various hypotheses. The first being, if it is potato extract, then it will contain catechol oxidase. The null being, if it is potato extract, then it will not contain catechol oxidase. The second hypothesis, if it is PTU, then it is a noncompetitive inhibitor can be nullified by the statement, if it is PTU, then it is not a…

catalysis of reactions that keep them alive and functioning. The purpose of this experiment was to measure reaction activity over time and how substrate concentration affects their activity level. A supernatant was made through the dilution of blended potato extract. Then the supernatant was mixed with catechol and the reaction rate was measured in units of absorbance through a spectrophotometer every 30 seconds for ten minutes. The results supported the prediction that enzyme activity slows…

reaction it is causing. The experimenters will use pieces cut up potato as an organic catalyst. The potato contain enzymes that will perform the reactions. Enzymes, “are proteins, produced by living cells; they catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy. Activation energy is the energy required for a chemical reaction to occur” (Carter 1). Substrates or reactants are the molecules that are…

Potato chips industry in Ireland has reached the maturity status. The market growth rate is relative stable and it is expected to keep the same growth pace till 2016.

be especially difficult if the society depended on that specific crop. One example of how lack of genetic diversity can ruin a civilization if the Great Famine of 1845. In the article Irish Potato Famine (1845–1849), “The famine was due to the appearance of "the Blight" (also known as phytophthora)—the potato fungus that almost instantly destroyed the primary food source for the majority of the island's population. The immediate after-effects of the famine continued until 1851. Much is…

A Comparative Study of the Irish Potato Famine Migration and the Modern Hispanic Migration There is no doubt that the Irish Potato Famine of the 1800’s and the recent Hispanic Migration movement are the two most influential mass migrations to the United States. People in the millions left their homes voluntarily to cross international borders in search of economic and social opportunity in an industrialized America, where the minorities were gradually becoming represented in politics and…

the author was immersed. The letter was written on 17 December 1846, but it was published in The London Times newspaper a few days after, on Christmas Eve. We must situate this text in the period of The Great Famine, The Great Hunger, or The Irish Potato Famine. It was the worst famine in Europe of the 19th century, suffered in Ireland between 1845 and 1849 or 1851 (depends on the source), with years of mass starvation and disease spread throughout the country. After Cromwell conquered Ireland,…

anatomical features of peasants. He was planning on creating a multiple figure piece that would make his name respected in the artistic community. The piece he created was entitled The Potato Eaters and was completed in 1885. This piece proved to be success, but not in his lifetime. After the personal failure of The Potato Eaters, Vincent decided…
