EXST 2201 Study Guide - Final Guide: Agarose Gel Electrophoresis, Elution, Neoprene
Document Summary
Know the difference between a theory and a hypothesis. Hypothesis predict what will happen under certain conditions; educated guess. Know the steps of the scientific method: observation, generalization or model, prediction or hypothesis, test. Be able to formulate a null and alternative hypothesis. Null hypothesis no effect: ex: increasing the enzyme concentration will not have an effect on the rate of the reaction, rejected when treatments are significantly different from one another. Alternative hypothesis has an effect (say increase or decrease, etc. : ex: increasing the enzyme concentration will have an effect on the. Know the chemicals/enzymes from the enzyme lab rate of the reaction (go faster, slower, etc. ) Increases the rate of oxidation of catechol: potato enzyme. Know the different factors manipulated during the enzyme experiment (i. e. temperature, ph, enzyme concentration, etc. ) How can we measure the rate of a chemical reaction. Measure amount of product produced or lost.
